Part 2/9:
The controversy ignited when Nick MKS, a prominent figure in the Call of Duty community, publicly voiced the phrase "leave children alone." This common-sense statement, widely regarded as a stance against inappropriate sexualization or indoctrination of minors, was swiftly deemed "too controversial" by Activision. The company chose to cancel Nick MKS instead of supporting him, aligning themselves with a fringe minority of activists advocating for early childhood sexualization.
Instead of standing by free speech or common decency, Activision appeared to side with what many call radical "lunatics" intent on indoctrinating children with adult themes from kindergarten age. This decision sparked immediate and widespread backlash.
