Activision Pulls Faze Clan Streamer Nickmercs' Skin From Call of Duty Following Anti-LGBTQ+ Tweet
IGN.com ^ | 6/9/2023 | RYAN DINSDALE

Posted on 06/09/2023 5:28:12 AM PDT by MrRelevant

"Nickmercs, a Faze Clan member who has 6.7 million followers on Twitch and two million on Twitter, replied to a tweet from eSports broadcaster Chris Puckett that showed a clash between anti and pro LGBTQ+ demonstrators outside a school voting to recognise June as Pride Month.

"They should leave little children alone. That's the real issue," Nickmercs tweeted in response.

The replies erupted in backlash from several users including Puckett himself. "Who is this 'they' and what terrible act is everyone afraid of?" he asked. "I think/hope the goal of most of 'them' is to reduce child suicides. This is done through acceptance and removing the stigma of feeling/being different."

As reported by PC Gamer, Nickmercs refused to apologise for his comment or take down the tweet in a stream the following day, but denied holding anti-LGBTQ+ beliefs and said he didn't mean to upset anyone."

Screw that, don’t give an inch, upset them, push back any chance you get. Make an issue of it every time.

“I think/hope the goal of most of ‘them’ is to reduce child suicides. This is done through acceptance and removing the stigma of feeling/being different.”

No, it comes from a child feeling good about themselves the way they were born. Not by reinforcing a misguided belief that a child will be “happier” if they can become something else that they cannot be. Often the “transition” fostered by those with a political agenda or a Munchausen’s mom rather than the someone with the true best interest of the child.

There’s a significantly higher suicide rate and rate of those contemplating suicide among the homosexual community, but that’s not because society won’t accept homosexuality.

Glad you used the word Munchausen because I used the concept “Munchausen By Proxy” to describe one loudmouth leftist who was on the news the other day.

Hurt/pervert
other people’s children to cover up your own family problems and possible mental/sexual abuse of your kids.

The Left is an immediate existential sexual threat to children, besides it’s MARXIST indoctrination of them.

“reduce child suicides”

Children nowadays stay indoors most of the time. The only exception is for school and afterschool activities, which can often hostile due to cliques.

In a multicultural society, the chance of finding someone compatible is reduced.

In my day a grade school class had about 29 students on average. Nowadays, the average may be around 21 students. The class might have seven Hispanics, four blacks and ten whites. The ten whites may be five girls and five boys. If four girls are close and the fifth is ostracized, then the fifth girl might not have a close friend in school (or in her neighborhood). If she comes from a lower income family, she may not be in any afterschool activity.

Another factor in making friends is the high heat found in places like Florida and Texas. It is simply not pleasant spending time outside for much of the year. As a result, kids make fewer friends.

In California, people can be outside more, making the melting pot work much faster.

A lot of that probably comes from the way the community treats its members. Black community has their own version of this stress and anxiety that manifests as black on black crime. The LGBTQIA+ alphabet soup is judgmental, cliquish, demands conformity in thought, attacks those individuals who think differently. Pride is for a certain type of gay who is sexually adventurous, politically liberal and fits into defined roles such as bear, twink, leather, etc. Individuality is only valued in attention seeking.

Do kids venture outside anymore? I recall a survey where younger people prefer facetime to actually being physically present with each other.

I grew up, and still live in Oklahoma. Lived many years about 30 miles north of the Red River (border between OK and TX. Heat in Oklahoma is on par with heat in Texas. The heat never hindered my outdoor activities when I was a kid. In fact, during the summer break, I was outside from early morning until dinner time. We never stayed inside. Heat or not...we were outside. All my friends played outside, all summer long.

The problem is, this guy may have been making a living on a following that big. That’s gone, erased by the woke corporation involved. That’s hard for people to go up against.

Pukcett is ignorant, having been made that way by the media and his own lack research. Suicide among “trans” children is mostly due to their inner war with accepting themselves, their own biological self, much more than what other kids think. Identity dysphoria presents not only an errant obsession that denies the biological self, but presents a war within the self between the biological truth and the obsession. “Trans” children need mental health servics to help affirm their biological selves. THAT would be “gender affirming” care.
