we are well up to date on left leaning recreational outrage, perhaps some of you would like to know what (some) right leaning peoples are getting their panties in a twist over?

trans bullets in a video game
Quote
Call of Duty "Trans Bullets" Controversy refers to outrage over a supposed Pride Month promotion by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III publishers Activision that will give players bullets painted with the colors of the transgender pride flag. The rumor, however, is inaccurate, as Call of Duty instead introduced cosmetics that would reskin guns with the colors of various pride flags. One gun, the M4, has a specific weapon blueprint, purchasable as part of a separate bonus package, that alters the appearance of bullets, and the "trans bullets" only appear with that specific layout. Nevertheless, the idea Call of Duty released "trans bullets" led to outrage from right-wing sources on social media, including Libs of TikTok.

Unsurprisingly, certain gamers and nerds remain as reactionary as their Gamergate counterparts from ten years ago.

I watched my cousins growing up playing such awful-ass games.  Along with the Battlefields.  And the Halos.   And in every USO center across Europe, where they had competitions that I never quite understood. 

I'll say it right here and now:   Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 are the only 2 good first-person shooters in existence (but they're more like RPGs and you can switch to 3rd person view Cheesy )

I happen to like the Halo series and therefore resent this post.

Imagine getting so worked up over Call of Duty of all things. Video games these days are awful.
