Call of Duty streamer Dr Disrespect calls out Activision for its hypocrisy and advocacy of using illegal substances on the gaming community. In a recent turn of events, popular streamer Dr Disrespect has taken aim at gaming giant Activision for what he perceives as a glaring case of hypocrisy. The controversy stems from Activision's decision to celebrate the unofficial holiday, 4/20, with themed events in two of its popular titles, Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) and Warzone.
The events, known as the High Trip on Warzone and Blaze Up on MW3, have stirred up controversy due to their overt references to marijuana culture. Players can participate in these events using special Cheech and Chong skins and even consume "gummies" in Warzone's High Trip limited-time mode, which purportedly "sharpen your senses."
Dr Disrespect, known for his outspoken nature, didn't hold back in expressing his disdain for Activision's approach. In a tweet, he criticized the company for promoting drug-related content while simultaneously removing content related to a different issue. Specifically, he referenced the removal of NICKMERCS' skin for a comment made on social media, suggesting a double standard in Activision's content moderation policies.
"Activision is pushing water bongs and drugs but removed NICKMERCS' skin for saying 'leave the kids alone,'" Dr Disrespect tweeted. He went on to call Activision "a bunch of idiots" and "the biggest suit and tie phonies in the industry."
The streamer's comments have sparked a debate within the gaming community about the role of gaming companies in promoting responsible content. While many agree with Dr Disrespect's criticism of Activision's apparent hypocrisy, others argue that the inclusion of such content in games is a matter of creative freedom.
This controversy raises important questions about the impact of in-game content on players and the gaming community as a whole. Should gaming companies be more mindful of the content they include in their ..
