LOS ANGELES — Handfuls of players have vowed to uninstall "Call of Duty," days after the popular video game franchise removed a streamer from its online store for his comments about LGBTQ+ policies in school.
After a brawl between pro- and anti-LGBTQ+ demonstrators outside a meeting at the Glendale Unified School District Board last week, streamer and esports personality Nickmercs (real name Nick Kolcheff) responded to a video of the clash.
"They should leave little children alone. That's the real issue," he wrote on June 7, replying to another Twitch user who encouraged followers to "Let people love who they love."
