NICKMERCS COD Warzone bundle removed by Activision following accusatory Tweet about Pride Month (Up: backed by timthetatman & Dr D)

I loathe hearing that line, "Protect the kids from the LGBTQ people". Then I open up the news every other day and hear about how a right-wing Christian, pastor, or priest who shouts anti-LGBTQ rhetoric was caught either diddlin' kids or with a massive CP collection. It infuriates me.
A few weeks ago it was revealed that the Ilinois Catholic Church was sitting on close to 2,000 cases of child molestation and it seems to not even be a blip on the radar.
Lol at people saying good one on Activision. It's still a terrible company trying to show their face in a good light. They don't give a single fuck about LGBTQ people, about you, about anything but cash. So fuck both that guy and activision, this isn't a W everyone's talking about. Gross.
We should be able to say whatever we want about this piece of garbage.
Yes, its easy kudos for a terrible company but that said bigots need to be stamped like the fucking cockroaches they are so in this one rare circumstances gonna give em a bit of respect.
End of the day reason he can behave like that is gamers like him get treated with kiddie gloves even though they are hateful assholes, so the enemy of my enemy is my friend for the next 30 seconds.
That is actually a shitty and ignorant tweet.
The Pride stuff in Overwatch was something that LGBTQ+ members of the development team were pushing for and are happy and proud to have in the game. Referring to that as "virtue signaling" completely dismisses them.
The developers of Overwatch are not the CEO. It's always really frustrating when people can't differentiate between the two when it comes to Activision Blizzard -- especially when those developers have been the victims of that CEO (and other management) in the past.
youre right they should leave his stuff up
do u guys hear yourselves sometimes
Did I say they should leave it up? Don't put words in my mouth.
It's a good thing that bundle was removed, not a good thing for people to praise AKB. Or we now encourage this kind of thing?
So "fuck Activision" as long as it suits our narrative and we could be viewed as good guys, if not, say they're great now, sure.
This is called hypocrisy.
They better not cave, gotta show these idiots that either they hide again like cowards or reap what you sow.
I'm curious, in your opinion, what should have this thread's posts only consisted of?

For two weeks, people have understandably called Target cowards for pulling some Pride merch in response to their employees being harassed and threatened.
Yes, the executives at Activision Blizzard terrible people. But that doesn't change the fact that removing this bundle was the right thing to do. And that doesn't change the fact that, no matter how awful the CEOs of these companies are, this is what we need to see more of.
This is the kind of thing we were asking Target and Bud Light to do, rather than backing down. And in this specific case, a company did the right thing. I'm okay with them getting praise for it because it might slightly raise the chance of other companies doing the same.
Idk, at the end of the day everyone can write whatever they want, but in my opinion there sould be more "nah, you're still full of shit" than just "good on them".
Because operators are based on models so when making a roster full of
Model models
Actors
Crossover IP
Athletes
Influencers
They decided to do a few based on people big in their community whose fans have asked for it for years..
Nick is boring so I don't understand it regardless but I definitely understand something like TimTheTatMan
or if he wasn't feuding with COD(or an ass IRL) DrDisrespect.
Or Ninja in Fortnite.
For reference this is another Operator is MW19/MW2
They've actually hired a handful of these gun influencers/models women as the basis for operators
Though they aren't voiced by them and don't have their names and history

Oh I know the how and why and using actual models or grown ups, it just seems at this point a wildly stupid or risky move to go with twitch streamers since they seize every possible opportunity to ruin their own careers.
I know they're desperate for good skins in MW2 since every single one so far has been atrocious but like, come on.

Saw the comments under his response tweet. Absolutely disgusting how many are sharing his view and defending him.
A lot of the core shooter audience that plays COD or Apex is like that. The dude bros are unending.
It's not really that surprising. That's his community and like any community they picked their side the second they subbed.
Pushing back on violent bigotry is incredibly important and meaningful in the current climate where allies don't give a fucking shit to speak up for us and other orgs and powerful voices are trying to be very much silent in the face of the fully active right-wing pressure. Yes, as a trans woman I am absolutely thankful for anyone standing up in a world that wants me dead, because unfortunately very few people are willing.
Twitter comments in general have become absolute dogshit since Elon introduced Twitter Blue and started to boost their stuff. I barley use the website anymore.
Yeah, only bigots are buying the checkmark and being boosted so 99% of comments on anything on twitter these days is absolute garbage and full of hate
They think they are somehow saving "free speech" by paying for the mistake of a literal billionaire, who self admittedly shitposted himself into a bad business deal. At least both Elon and his unbearable fans are loosing money in this.
100%
Fuck him, Fuck Faze, Fuck these jock streamers who are just the definition of douches.
same.. sad to see some good eggs get caught in the crossfire, but they are giving elon money so...
Overwatch streamer SVB absolutely shitting on Nickmercs bigoted bullshit in such an eloquent way.

There are gay, trans, and queer folks working for these companies that are actually excited about adding these things to their game.
Nobody can really control that their CEO is a rich bigot, in fact, most people cannot do anything about it.

Yeah I saw that video on twitter. Very well done and of course the blue checks are doing the blue check thing in the replies.
Anyone on Twitter saying anything common sense about this is basically this kid
Every Floridian is a piece of shit because they haven't just moved and all of them worship DeSantis and Trump. Anyone living in Florida should be chained to a brick and drowned in the bottom of the ocean. This is what ERA has taught me.
Signed,
A gay, liberal Floridian (who hasn't "just moved")
Tim going down with him.

So brave, supporting his homophobic friend. Fuck these people.
