FaZe member and co-owner NICKMERCS came under heavy criticism after responding to a tweet showing a protest over Pride Month being recognized in a school. Nick responded by saying \u201cthey should leave little children alone,\u201d resulting in backlash on Twitter. He then went on to defend his stance and insisted it was fair, citing the recent birth of his child as motivation for his comment. This resulted in Call of Duty removing his bundle from MW2 and Warzone 2. Some members of the community were supportive of this while others uninstalled CoD in protest. Now a big personality has given their take on the topic, with Dr Disrespect believing that Call of Duty made the wrong call. Dr Disrespect slams CoD PR team after NICKMERCS bundle is removed Dr Disrespect has slammed the \u201cCall of Duty PR\u201d team following its decision to remove the NICKMERCS bundle from MW2 and Warzone 2. Speaking on the situation he tweeted: \u201cWho\u2019s running Call of Duty PR and Marketing now? Same people from the purple snakes? Pathetic.\u201d The phrase \u201cpurple snakes,\u201d is Dr Disrespect\u2019s name for Twitch and the people responsible for running the streaming platform. He has been vocal against Twitch\u2019s policy changes most recently taking a swipe at its retracted plans to restrict branded content. The Doc\u2019s comments on the removal of NICKMERCS\u2019 bundle come from a unique standpoint. Although he is known for streaming these days, he was once a Call of Duty developer working as a level designer for Sledgehammer Games. During his time at Sledgehammer Games, Dr Disrespect helped design several of the multiplayer maps for Advanced Warfare including Quarantine, Recovery, and Solar. He admitted in October 2022 that he would love to see Advanced Warfare 2 and would consider getting involved again if asked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Disrespect calls Call of Duty \u201cpathetic\u201d for removing NICKMERCS skin Dr DisrespectDr Disrespect has labeled Call of Duty \u201cpathetic,\u201d after Activision removed NICKMERC\u2019s operator bundle following the streamer\u2019s controversial comments on a pro-LGBT demonstration.
