Kick and Twitch streamer NICKMERCS is once again causing a stir on social media for making transphobic comments during one of his streams. And just like last time, the popular Call of Duty player is not letting it get him down.

During one of his streams of Elden Ring, NICKMERCS read out a comment calling him a transphobe while he was struggling with one of the game's bosses. NICKMERCS responded by saying, "Trans people don't exist." He later told viewers that he was going to "break it down" by saying, "penis, dude. Vagina, girl. Done!" Needless to say, this response did not sit well with some people.

But the controversial comments didn’t stop there, as NICKMERCS responded to the backlash in a subsequent stream. The streamer gave a profanity-laced response about how he doesn’t care about the backlash and sticks to what he believes. “I don’t care about the percentages, or the cuts, or anything like that. It doesn’t bother me,” NICKMERCS said. “You know, I feel a certain way about it. And I’ve had my say.” He went on to say that he doesn’t want other people to dictate how he and those closest to him think.

These comments come a year after NICKMERCS made similar remarks on social media when he responded to a tweet about LGBTQ+ protesters being attacked with "They need to leave little children alone. That's the real problem." That tweet, along with subsequent doubling down later, led to his Modern Warfare 2 Operator Bundle being removed from the game.
