Part 5/9:
The Social Media Uprising
Social media acts as a barometer of public sentiment, and within hours, the backlash became impossible to ignore. Call of Duty’s official Twitter account, once a platform for marketing and engagement, was flooded with comments demanding the company "leave children alone." The phrase quickly became a rallying cry, with users criticizing the company for what they perceive as pandering to woke activism at the expense of its core audience.
A typical comment read, "Leave children alone," which amassed tens of thousands of likes and replies. The overwhelming consensus suggested that gamers and parents alike feel alienated by the company's perceived prioritization of social activism over their interests or values.
