The variant wasn't made by the same creative team at all and is not the standard cover. The audience for the variant and the audience for the cover are not the same. Your daughter would only see this if you had hunted it down and specifically showed it to her. That isn't the issue.
And why is it that others can't make the choice whether or not e want the cover for themselves? Nobody has any obligation to buy something they don't want, so whose hands it could end up in is irrelevant.
And there's no evidence that seeing a man creepily standing next to a woman and holding a gun is harmful to anyone in any way.
