Nickmercs Call of Duty Boycott Explained

A storm has brewed up regarding NICKMERCS, after a short tweet he posted in response to a Pride Month protest. The fallout has resulted in both backlash and support for the streamer, and eventually, Call of Duty removed his skin from the game. <br> <br>NICKMERCS is one of the most popular streamers on Twitch, regularly pulling in more than 20,000 viewers on any given stream. He is best known for playing shooter games and battle royales like Call of Duty and Apex Legends. <br> <br>A skilled player and an excellent entertainer, he has amassed a large following, with millions of loyal fans, dubbed MFAM (mercs fam). It’s fair to say that he has never been a particularly controversial streamer, but this changed on June 7, when he made a short but notable tweet. <br> <br>Responding to a tweet about Pride Month being recognized in a school, which had resulted in a brawl and three arrests, NICKMERCS said, “They should leave the little kids out of it. That’s the real issue.” <br> <br>On his stream the next day, Nick took a few minutes at the outset to address his tweet. <br> <br>He said that he had not intended to hurt anyone, but recognized that he had. However, he stopped short of apologizing for the tweet, and said he stood by what he said. <br> <br>“I don’t have any quarrel with people on the internet. It wasn’t an anti — I guess — gay tweet. That wasn’t what it was. If you think that I hate you because you’re a certain way, you couldn’t be any more wrong.” <br>(via Dexerto) <br> <br>Timestamps: <br>0:00 Intro <br>0:54 NickMercs Tweet <br>1:33 NickMercs stream clip <br>4:53 DrDisrespect Response <br>6:08 Timthetatman Stands with Nickmercs <br>6:38 Nick's Response <br>6:53 QTCinderella Throws Shade <br>7:09 Hasan Piker Weighs in <br>9:55 Outro <br> <br>Thanks for watching this video gamer! <br>----------------------------- <br>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/manicmekka/ <br>?(Affiliate Link) The Dragon's Treasure Tea http://www.thedragonstreasure.com/manic <br>?Join this channel to get access to perks: <br>https://www.youtube.com/channe....l/UCgff8uE4hyw9E3ma0 <br>?Twitter https://twitter.com/ManicUCW <br>?Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/....4Vp0DvhGdByl9j9cNhqh <br>All my Links: https://libertylinks.io/Manic <br>?Buy Merch: <br>?Redbubble - https://www.redbubble.com/peop....le/ManicUCW/shop?asc <br>?
