Part 4/8:
Despite the silence from the official Call of Duty channels over the past several days—only tweeting twice and both times getting ratioed—Nick Merks experienced a surge of support from his fanbase and allies. During his return stream after the controversy, he revealed that he gained over 11,000 Twitch subscribers in a single day, a testament to the loyalty and backing he received from fans.
He emphasized that his statement is not controversial for the vast majority of people. According to Merks, "leave children alone" is a straightforward plea to stop promoting radical gender and sexuality agendas to children—an issue he claims most parents oppose. His support was further demonstrated by the rapid growth of his social media followers, reinforcing that his message resonates with many.
