GLEICHSCHALTUNG: Call of Duty joins the LGBT mob’s cancel crusade.

Not even video games are safe from the all-encompassing and increasingly unhinged culture war over LGBT issues. Recently, a streamer and gaming personality known as “Nickmercs” faced widespread backlash online and even had his merchandise deleted from Call of Duty in response to some seemingly innocuous comments about LGBT-related issues.

Here’s what went down.

Earlier this month, violence erupted between activists on opposing sides of a controversy over a Glendale, California, school board and its decision to embrace Pride Month celebrations. Another prominent gaming personality, “Puckett,” commented on this news on Twitter and said, “Americans are in a sad place right now. Let people love who they love and live your own life.”

Nickmercs replied to Puckett’s tweet and said, “They should leave little children alone. That’s the real issue.”

That’s it. That’s all he said. For this supposedly egregious remark, Nickmercs was pilloried on social media and condemned by countless gaming industry media outlets. Here’s a sample of headlines that show how it was portrayed:

“Call of Duty removes Nickmercs skin following streamer’s anti-LGBTQ tweet” — Polygon

“Call of Duty removes streamer’s skin after homophobic comments” — the Verge

“Call Of Duty Removes Nickmercs DLC Over Anti-LGBTQ Tweet” — Gamespot
