NICKMERCS Sets Date for Twitch Comeback Amidst Controversial Tweet Backlash
Nick ‘NICKMERCS’ Kolcheff, who caused controversy with his divisive Pride Month tweet, has set a date for his return to Twitch. Tv. NICKMERCS sent a tweet on June 7 that would fundamentally change the direction of his mouth. A contentious comment addressing the celebration of Pride Month suggested that “little children” should be “left alone” in schools. His 10-word reply to the situation went viral on social media.
The post quickly gained traction in mainstream media and quickly transcended the traditional area of influence of the FaZe Clan content creator. Activision, a significant publisher of video games, removed his personalized NICKMERCS operator bundle from the Call of Duty store one day later. TimTheTatman, a personal friend and fellow content creator, entered the discussion and continued to stand by his remarks. TimTheTatman requested in solidarity that Activision remove his unique operator bundle from the game. Since then, the entire incident has polarized communities on a broad scale, with thousands offering their opinions.
NICKMERCS Sets Date for Twitch Comeback Following Controversy
NICKMERCS is returning to a live setting roughly a fortnight after the scandal first surfaced, with his upcoming Twitch broadcast already scheduled. He recently posted on Instagram, saying, “Streams are back tomorrow, see you soon, gang.” He will return to the stage on Monday, June 19, 10 days after his previous appearance. During this volatile time, content on his several YouTube channels has also been suspended.
NICKMERCS’ first Twitch stream after the crisis will surely garner a sizable audience, given how much his Twitter following increased throughout the incident. His Twitch account continued to expand even though he stayed offline throughout the incident, gaining around 2,000 new followers each day at its peak. Also, thousands of viewers will undoubtedly be keen to learn more about the issue from his perspective on his first broadcast since returning. It’s unclear whether he’ll decide to confront it directly with a more extended remark.
