Call of Duty publisher Activision has removed the “Nickmercs Operator” bundle from its Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone stores, after the streamer and former MLG Champion it was named for made an anti-LGBTQ tweet.
On Tuesday, esports broadcaster Chris Puckett responded to footage shared on Twitter of anti-LGBTQ protestors attacking pro-LGBTQ demonstrators in Glendale, California outside of a school board meeting. In his quote tweet, he said: “Americans are in a sad place right now. Let people love who they love and live your own life.”
Nick Kolcheff, who streams under the name Nickmercs, tweeted in response, with a common anti-LGBTQ talking point that far-right conservatives use to disparage trans people. “They should leave little children alone,” Nickmercs tweeted.
