Groomers and their complicit corporate allies have yet to relent, but tyrannical activism hasn’t quite landed the way it once did as one “canceled” streamer laughed off the backfired campaign against him “For saying ‘leave children alone.'”
In the gaming community, Nick Kolcheff is better known by his username “Nickmercs” through which he gained a following playing the first-person shooter (FPS) franchise “Call of Duty.” His success and popularity earned him his own operator bundle which game publisher Activision removed from their store after he criticized promoting gender ideology in schools.
“They really did try and come for me, man. They tried to chain my a** up. They wanted me gone. Isn’t that crazy? They shot and missed,” Kolcheff described during a recent Twitch stream as he slammed the bungled attempt to cancel him.

“That’s like rule number one in cancelation. It really is. If you’re gonna cancel somebody, you cannot attempt and fail…that just made it so much worse for you. You can’t do that! Rule number one is ‘do not miss,’ and you f*cking whiffed,” he went on. “You air-balled. That was the corniest attempt to cancel anybody I have ever seen. For saying ‘leave children alone.'”
As previously reported, Kolcheff made himself a marked man by the rainbow jihad for reacting to clashing protesters outside a Glendale, California school board meeting, “They should leave little children alone. That’s the real issue.”

However, instead of ruining his career or stalling it until such time as he could issue a groveling apology seeking repentance with the promise to “educate” himself, Comicbook.com reported that there has been little to no impact for Kolcheff, and in some regards, he’s even benefitted.
“During the incident, Nickmercs searches increased by 100x, and as noted, his viewership has gone up as well,” the outlet reported. “Various promotional deals and sponsorships going forward could be trickier, but with a networth estimated to be in the millions — thanks to his popularity in streaming, his successful YouTube channel, and his involvement in FaZe Clan as co-owner — it’s unlikely he will feel the negative effects of all of this too much.”
This is a fact nickmercs only gained popularity from it

Continuing to address his viewers, the streamer expressed, “I feel like a lot of people are in the same boat as me, man. We’re just confused. Things are moving super quick in some of these areas and we just want to slow down and kind of get a better understanding of what the f*ck we are doing as a people. The decisions that we’re making. Just slow it down. I think that’s where we’re at.”
Kolcheff also went on to explain, as is so often lost when alphabet activists label anyone not kowtowing to their movement as “homophobes,” that he had nothing against the gay community, but would rather his child learn about sexuality when it was appropriate from himself and his wife.
“I do not feel [anti-LGBT], I just simply feel that I want to be the one, and my wife wants to be the one, to speak with our child about stuff like that,” he explained.
