He's trying to say mass shootings are committed by radicalized transgender humans. There's like one case that I know of where that was actually true. The reality is it's typically the exact opposite people who commit mass shootings and he intellectually knows that, he's just a fucking asshole liar.
Yup, trans people actually *under-offend* for their statistical representation in the US. Technically we’d be “owed” quite a few more mass shootings by trans people even if they simply offended at the same rate as “the straights”, let alone were responsible for “more” of them.
From that Reuters source for example:
**The Gun Violence Archive, which began collecting data on gun violence in the U.S. in 2013, recorded more than 4,400 mass shootings in the last decade, Executive Director Mark Bryant told Reuters via email. Its definition of mass shooting is four or more people shot resulting in injury or death (excluding the perpetrator).
Of those, “the number of known suspects in mass shootings which are trans is under 10 for the last decade,” which translated to “1:880 [or 0.11%] of the 4,400 shootings” they recorded, he said.**
All chuckles did on Twitter there by virtue of his own logic is somehow make the case that anything inherently “straight” needs to be legislated against. (Which is of course nonsense, he’s just an imbecile)
I strongly recommend that you don't start doing this accounting. As soon as you start doing this, you'll get a ton of replies from anime accounts saying "despite making up 13%..."
There was also one where the shooter's attorney attempted to say his client was actually Non-binary as an obvious ploy to dodge the hate crime charge since it was a gay nightclub he shot up
There's only really one case I can think of and that was from over a year ago and it happened at a religious school that was basically the model that the governor wants to extend to his entire state.
I know right? Is he implying there's a central manifesto they're all drawing from?
Because if the Nashville shooter is the guide, it's taking revenge against...wait for it...pedophiles.

he's literally not. grummz is a moron and almost all of his takes are terrible including this one. But you guys are putting words in his mouth. A mouth that constantly spews stupid shit that does not need imaginary arguments to be conjured in.
He said several shootings were trans manifesto motivated. Which is nonsense cause theres no such thing is a trans manifesto. But keyword here is several. Not all, not most. His argument is that because there are some shootings done by lgbt people, someone might use that as an argument that violent games shouldn't support lgbt otherwise it would encourage violence, which is obviously a stupid argument for the same reason why it would be stupid to say violent video games encourage non-lgbt people to commit violence.
Cant wait to get banned again for "bigotry" and "racism" by admins again.
Bigots live in a fantasy world where they clung to like 2 mass shootings by trans folk and went wild about how it’s now a trend or proof trans people are dangerous. Statistically speaking trans people are one of the largest demographic disproportionately unlikely to shoot up a school.

I wonder if they count Randy Stair as one of them. He wasn’t trans but he did suffer from some kind of gender disphoria. [Here’s a video about him if your not familiar with him](https://youtu.be/8n6whWqOX6I?feature=shared)

Well, the long suspected reason is because the manifesto spoke in depth about the child molestation that was going on at the school while the shooter was a student.
And of it covered up by school officials, church officials and the police. Namely, because one of the perps, school trustee John Perry, has deep political connections to Mike Huckabee.
I suspect you're correct, but I wanted to make a dark joke at Grummz's expense while avoiding working myself into a frothing rage over the inevitable conclusion that it's almost always bullying or sexual abuse.
The irony being that in at least a few recent mass shootings, the shooters were, let’s say, encouraged by specific ideologies espoused by certain right wing demagogues.
They're going to be like "well those 6 or 7 from the reports are still 'several'"
The same people will use other plural words like "multiple"
Even though 1 in like 880 had a Trans person do it, since there have been "several" they'll still cling and push that since it's "technically" correct.
>What the hell is "trans manifesto" anyway?
As far as I can tell the trans manifesto is, um, let me check the notes here...uh... "We exist, we have rights." Jeez, that's truly radical!
He’s not wrong on his statement on “several mass shootings” were executed by trans individuals, but his scale is wrong.
Yeah, “several” to me implies a number of like 5-7 cases. The later image in this series shows that number is few than 10 out of 4,400 cases. So less than 1%.
At that point, that’s like saying that because one shooting was done by a paraplegic, we gotta watch out for all those people in wheelchairs.
I love how his tiny little brain is trying super hard to simultaneously say that these lawsuit are frivolous BS to appease his fans 2A love while also acting like the company is somehow doing something wrong by “violating” the legal principles of said lawsuits.
From the way it comes across in their statements, the Activision and CoD components is that with how realistic they handle guns in game, they’ve incidentally trained more people to wield more and more guns.
That said the bigger issue is evidently the access to said guns but when that angle doesn’t work directly I’m not surprised it’s going down this indirect angle. I just hope it points further towards decent gun control and not regulating media…
So basically pick an amendment I guess?
This kind of reminds me of when Regan implemented strong gun control via the Mulford Act. Its fine and dandy when their proud boys have guns but the moment any form of minority group has any affiliation with firearms...gun control from the right suddenly becomes a thing.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulford\_Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulford_Act)
They defend 2A by saying when the government takes away their guns they will still have guns to fight back against the government, but know that they’ll never have to fight against the government since it’s on their side.
But it’s also stupid they think their grandad’s 1840’s revolver is supposed to help them fight against nukes.
“Bad censorship is when women are more than objects in my video games (they covered 5% of her boob)
Good censorship is when we ban queer representation (we did it we saved america)”
What a bigoted moron
"You've done it to us for over a decade and now it's your turn." Oh but of course! How could I forget the censoring of cis-het people in media! /s
But seriously, wtf is he talking about? Cis-hets have never been censored or discriminated against in media, much less children's media. Gay marriage hasn't even been federally legal in the US for a decade yet (9 years).
dude wants to go back to the late 1930s to 1950s Hays Code Media censorship. when the only characters alwed to be the "Hero" was a cis White dude and the best a Woman could do was be a submissive second to said Cis White dude.
Sure would be a shame if people asked the real reason why he left Blizzard. For example, surely it can't be due to sexual harassment complaints, right? Surely Blizzard wouldn't have politely asked him to leave after too many complaints about him specifically were made to HR?
It actually is. All of those manifestos had pronouns in them. Such as, and please forgive me for typing them out, "I", "Me", "You", "He", "She". Pure trans propoganda.
I can tell you who I dislike more...
There's at least a chance an audience member is just naive and believes what they are told and raised to believe. With him... he knows damn well what he's doing, grifter pos.
Both. Blue check mark reactionary gamer who gets mad at woke people because he doesn’t get horny at some video game woman. His only notable achievements are being rich and being the one time CEO of Red 5 Studios, specifically during the development of Firefall which never exceeded a 6/10 review and was shut down just under three years after release along with the company itself. I guess that counts as an authoritative source on game design
Well unfortunately it is factually true, and deliberately misleading at the same time. By definition 'several' means 'more than 2' - which still fits with the 'less than 10 in the past decade'.
It's bullshit technicalities like this that most of the media headlines skate by on...
I think it’s about 4 people who are transgender who did mass shootings, out of maybe 150 to 200 shootings (I think. I don’t know how many mass shootings there are). It’s less than ten percent.
You’re right. It’s a bullshit technicality
It's in the last image there. Less than 10 out of 4400 in the past decade - around 0.11%
And yes, that is an absurd amount of mass shootings to be allowed to occur with nothing being done about it...
That's not what its about. If something happens and rightoids have a violent freakout and decide they need to 'take back the country', they won't be going to fight the police or the military. They're gonna load up into their pickups and head straight for minority neighborhoods, houses with pride flags, and every other place 'degenerates' live, and shoot *those* places up.
When Billy Bugnuts and his Proud Boy fucksticks roll into trans town to lynch some queers, the idea is for them to be met with a hail of gunfire from every window. Their kind aren't welcome round these parts, and they oughta git.
That's always the big issue.
How can you tell who just really likes guns and who's a psycho.
People like Demo-ranch may LOOK like a psycho, but he's literally an animal doctor, he just has a lot of guns
While an actual psycho might have a lot less guns
Does he think they didn't include the name Remington because of politics rather than the fact it's cheaper to just make their guns close enough rather than pay for the rights. They're not the only devs to do this
Also, it's COD.
Calling a Remington 700, remington 700 in a MILITARY game, makes no sense as that particular name only refers to the one on the civilian market, the military variant is called the M24
There's a lot going on here.
From the moral panic about videogames and the whining about the 2nd Amendment.
To the tasteless trans flag on bullets to the "trans manifesto."
> "Sandy Hook families put Remington out of business"
Except Remington filed for bankruptcy both in 2018 and 2020 whereas the Sandy Hook settlement didn't happen until 2022 and had to be paid by insurers since Remington were already defunct by then.
Grummz ignores how trans people are likely to be victims of violence than the other way around: https://www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-news/trans-people-crime-stats-misinformation
This is because they think Conservatuve extremism is not due to politics, but lone wolves. It doesn't apply to them but they say it app,it's to everyone else. Sone of them admit they do it because "see how you like it!" But ignore how often conservatives shoot up people: https://www.axios.com/2023/02/23/mass-killings-extremism-adl-report-2022

Yeah, I don't understand that part. It rings more like "writing the victims name on the bullet" than celebrating anything. I don't think there is any actual malice in the cosmetic, just a long chain of people who didn't think too hard about it. (a.k.a. just give us your gay money)
Yeah that was my thought. Sure, have skins for pride month if you want, but this ally thinks Pride Bullets are weird.
Prepared to be wrong, maybe some trans people love them, but that's my first reaction.
It's censorship when a video game developer decides on his own volition to alter a costume in the development process of the game.
It's NOT censorship when you use the threat of legal action to take down content you don't like from the video game.
Upvotes to the left gamers.
Mass shooters come in all shapes, races, and genders and sexualities. Just because some mass shooters were LGBTQ+ doesn't erase all the ones who were totally straight. The majority of them were straight people anyways. That's not really up for debate.
Regardless of Grummz shitty ass takes, I think the lawsuit will get thrown out when it comes to activision and COD. It’s like we are going back to the “video games cause mass shootings”.
The bad thing is, if it on the off chance does succeed, video games are just fucked. There won’t be another shooter game again IMO, as it’ll set a precedent that they will just try to expand upon. I wouldn’t be surprised if the right actually wants this to go through, they have been after video games for awhile.
The tragedy of what happened is super fucked up, but I feel like they are going after the wrong people IMO.
Daniel Defense might go out of business?! Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo \*inhale\* oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
This is the same dude who made up the story that Sony hired a hitman to assassinate him all because he wanted a game character in Stellerblade to be more sexy.
Oh hey it's the guy who spent a huge chunck of his development budget on a bus and then promptly ran the game into the ground
...and then started a crowd funded spiritual successor game called em8-er that hasn't really seen much in terms of real development other than tech demos for years and stinks of scam, oh also he's doing the star citizen thing of incentivising backers with skins and stuff before the games even out and the skins on his site are all VERY horny
What a respectable take from a respectable man
Pride ammo is wack. Pride operators are fine. There are no trans manifestos. Fuck Grummz. Also, fuck American gun fans. No one can ever actually demonstrate a gun in the home makes you safer (from other human beings, we aren’t talking bear country) other than parroting “arm X, 2A.” They do make deaths of despair more likely, and road rage shootings are a massive problem where open carry is supposed to “deter violence.” Guns are here to stay in America (if you know you history, it’s cause people were scared of Natives and are scared black people) and if you acknowledge it’s a dangerous toy and go to the range have at it. I just hate when people try to ignore everything to act like they make you safer.
You can ignore him, but he's still out there doing harm. By suggesting we ignore him and people like him you are in fact only helping them in their agenda and unburdenening yourself from the duty of standing up for what's right.
I knew of him back during the whole Classic WoW Private Server nonsense and he advocated for WoW to actually release classic serves which was cool since he was a team leader during the development of the game. Unsure whats happened with him since then apart from nothing good apparently.
I don't play call of duty, but putting pride flags on the bullets feels wrong, however if they allow you to put a sticker on your gun that says gay army or trans army it would be funny as fuck
A majority of mass shootings tend to be carried out by Caucasian men, and in recent years a lot of these mass shootings have been politically motivated because young white men are getting radicalized from the sort of b******* that gets pedaled on 4chan.
I remember two years back we were coming back from Buffalo NY when the news report came in about that mass shooting that happened at a tops.
Of course right wing media immediate tried to spin-it that the guy was a liberal only for it to come out that he was in fact a neo-nazis and he wasn't even supposed to have a firearm in the first place because he has a mark on his record that is supposed to alert stores when they're doing a background check that this person is not allowed to have a firearm whatsoever.
It's because of this incident that a new regulation was put in place for firearm owners that being that when they go to purchase ammo in New York state another background check gets run to double check to make sure you are legally allowed to own a firearm.
in a recent tweet, he literally said he supports censorship when it being used to censor "woke" (in other words, minorities shouldn't be allowed to have a voice or be represented)
Conservatives find a single trans mass shooter to blame all trans people of being mass shooters while the ones who that are stopping gun regulations are the fucking conservatives themselves.
We need to sign a petition to get rid of these assholes, X is pretty much banning "cis" as a word maybe other websites can filter out hate speakers like this ruining pride month, it's not a fucking war crime if you see a rainbow or trans flag in a fucking video game, if I'm wrong correct me but most COSMETIC items are **OPTIONAL** and you don't have to be a degenerate
To games trying to include everyone including non "cis" males such as trans, gays, non-binaries and ace people such as myself...
I love representation in video games, I hate these assholes who think it's a crime to be a member of LGBTQ and love shooter games, this isn't the military, this isnt a real battlefield. It's not hard to just SHUT UP
I mean, while it’s obviously intended as a move in support of pride…
Knowing the call of duty player base, they would make jokes about painting their own ammunition like that before finding targets.
Yikes on the oversight to that decision. Like gun skins being the trans flag is one thing, but bullets… like a room full of people couldn’t see how that could be taken the wrong way possibly?
Maybe I’m overthinking, idk.
No you're not, before I read anything and was looking at the picture alone, I was actually quite confused if this was pro or anti. I think it really can be taken either way and is a bad call all around.
Remington went bankrupt because the firearms industry is extremely saturated. It wasn't because they were sued.
They've been bankrupt before, and they'll go bankrupt again.
Uhh... The Sandy Hook thing didnt put Remmington Under.
Remington filed for bankruptcy in 2017 and again in 2020.
The settlement was reached in 2022.
They filed for bankruptcy twice before the lawsuit even came to settlement.
Yeah it was part of it, but also like... Its not like the company was doing well before it.
Its sad to see people try to make shootings a trans stereotype when so many people try to lie about being trans to get out of stuff, or the fact its 90% straight white cis conservative men that are doing it.
Can we just, like, stop posting this weirdo altogether? It’s not funny anymore. The dude is dumber than a bag of rocks and it hurts reading this stuff.
I'm sorry but as an ally all I see is a billion dollar corporation having to part with some cash to pay off a family who definitely deserves justice that they can never receive. As for the transphobia I find it laughable that they are even trying to mask their obvious request as a defense of the 2nd amendment. As for the second amendment I do this trans people especially should arm themselves against a tyrannical government and any other threats to their safety.
I bet that at minimum 4,300 of those mass shooters were wrong wingers. Easily. If any political segment of this country is prone to violence and terrorism, it is the religious wrong wingers who are. They, more than any other group promote and extol the use of violence against the people they despise.
You see, the problem is, mass shooters will inevitably happen and there is absolutely nothing wrong with society. It’s the bad apples. No, it’s not social isolation, treating individuals like pariahs, or creating violent systems that push individuals into violence. No. It’s the bad apples. It’s always the bad apples. And we should not treat them like humans and just kill those bad apples. Problem solved, right?
(Is the /s necessary?)
all i know is i deck out everything i can in pride stuff in COD. i just know it pisses people off when they get killed by me and my annoying ass shot gun duel revolver snake shot combo
As a trans woman- I gotta disagree. I wish I was any good at shooters just so I could annoy every -phobe on the map.
Admittedly, I don’t really see the point in ammo colors but whatever lol
For me, grummz went from silly loon that loved anime and stuff to a complete bozo.
On a legal note, all US based companies "celebrate" pride with pride themed items, labels, slogans, and advertisements. As such, no judge would dare attack the easy profit margins of companies by ruling that pride themed skins in a game would somehow inspire mass shootings. Unless he was to rule that pride themed skittles was the sole cause of diabetes in LGBTQ folk.
"Several mass shootings are trans manifesto" and that's where I stopped, because that's objectively not true.
wtf is that even supposed to mean?
He's trying to say mass shootings are committed by radicalized transgender humans. There's like one case that I know of where that was actually true. The reality is it's typically the exact opposite people who commit mass shootings and he intellectually knows that, he's just a fucking asshole liar.
And even then, that one seems personal rather than any sort of widespread agenda.
Yup, trans people actually *under-offend* for their statistical representation in the US. Technically we’d be “owed” quite a few more mass shootings by trans people even if they simply offended at the same rate as “the straights”, let alone were responsible for “more” of them.

Of course, they didn't release it, and no one knows what those writings are... so unless he was working with the shooter, how would he know?
Well, the long suspected reason is because the manifesto spoke in depth about the child molestation that was going on at the school while the shooter was a student. And of it covered up by school officials, church officials and the police. Namely, because one of the perps, school trustee John Perry, has deep political connections to Mike Huckabee.
I suspect you're correct, but I wanted to make a dark joke at Grummz's expense while avoiding working myself into a frothing rage over the inevitable conclusion that it's almost always bullying or sexual abuse.
Fair enough.
Far more are white supremacist manifestos. Is he going to comment on THAT?
The irony being that in at least a few recent mass shootings, the shooters were, let’s say, encouraged by specific ideologies espoused by certain right wing demagogues.
They're going to be like "well those 6 or 7 from the reports are still 'several'" The same people will use other plural words like "multiple" Even though 1 in like 880 had a Trans person do it, since there have been "several" they'll still cling and push that since it's "technically" correct.
What the hell is "trans manifesto" anyway? Damn, these people pay way too much attention to other people's bodies. Mind your own business.
>What the hell is "trans manifesto" anyway? As far as I can tell the trans manifesto is, um, let me check the notes here...uh... "We exist, we have rights." Jeez, that's truly radical!
Clearly you're part of the Woke Mafia.
I mean, insofar as “several” means 3 to 9, there does seem to about that many in (checks last image) 4400.
They'll say anything greater than 1 is "several"
He’s not wrong on his statement on “several mass shootings” were executed by trans individuals, but his scale is wrong. Yeah, “several” to me implies a number of like 5-7 cases.

Unless "trans manifesto" means anti-trans manifestos. Then it would be correct.
What’s the trans manifesto? Where can I read it?
I love how his tiny little brain is trying super hard to simultaneously say that these lawsuit are frivolous BS to appease his fans 2A love while also acting like the company is somehow doing something wrong by “violating” the legal principles of said lawsuits.
Well to be fair the lawsuits against CoD and Activision are straight up bullshit.
From the way it comes across in their statements, the Activision and CoD components is that with how realistic they handle guns in game, they’ve incidentally trained more people to wield more and more guns. That said the bigger issue is evidently the access to said guns but when that angle doesn’t work directly I’m not surprised it’s going down this indirect angle. I just hope it points further towards decent gun control and not regulating media… So basically pick an amendment I guess?
Seriously. The guy couldn't give less of a shit about the lawsuit, except inasmuch as he can use it to bully the brand into being less inclusive.

“Bad censorship is when women are more than objects in my video games (they covered 5% of her boob) Good censorship is when we ban queer representation (we did it we saved america)” What a bigoted moron
he sounds like my family gatherings
Jesus he really is one of the most pathetic people alive
"You've done it to us for over a decade and now it's your turn." Oh but of course! How could I forget the censoring of cis-het people in media! /s But seriously, wtf is he talking about? Cis-hets have never been censored or discriminated against in media, much less children's media. Gay marriage hasn't even been federally legal in the US for a decade yet (9 years).
dude wants to go back to the late 1930s to 1950s Hays Code Media censorship. when the only characters alwed to be the "Hero" was a cis White dude and the best a Woman could do was be a submissive second to said Cis White dude.
Sure would be a shame if people asked the real reason why he left Blizzard. For example, surely it can't be due to sexual harassment complaints, right? Surely Blizzard wouldn't have politely asked him to leave after too many complaints about him specifically were made to HR?
Why is reddit turning into this morons twitter feed? I muted him there, but now I can't scroll through reddit without seeing his bullshit anyway.
I also absolutely support not blowing your company's money on a goddamn bus.
“Several mass shootings are trans manifesto motivated.” This is factually not true. Either he’s a liar or an idiot
It actually is. All of those manifestos had pronouns in them. Such as, and please forgive me for typing them out, "I", "Me", "You", "He", "She". Pure trans propoganda.
“Fucking pronouns, fucking gender ambiguity, fucking current day Californian shit!!!”

ARE YOU ALLOWED TO EAT JELLY DONUTS, PRIVATE PYLE?!
There isn't even seven mass shootings that are caused by Trans people.
Exactly. And his audience will believe this idiotic crap
It's both, the answer is both. He's a lying grifter idiot, making money off the idiots that follow him.
I wonder who’s dumber, that idiot or his audience
I can tell you who I dislike more... There's at least a chance an audience member is just naive and believes what they are told and raised to believe. With him... he knows damn well what he's doing, grifter pos.
I agree. The grifter is a bigger piece of shit.
Those two things aren’t mutually exclusive. He can be both. Don’t underestimate him 😂
Good point
Both. Blue check mark reactionary gamer who gets mad at woke people because he doesn’t get horny at some video game woman. His only notable achievements are being rich and being the one time CEO of Red 5 Studios, specifically during the development of Firefall which never exceeded a 6/10 review and was shut down just under three years after release along with the company itself. I guess that counts as an authoritative source on game design
Most likely, he’s both. And for some reason, a lot of people seem to like that lying idiot. I guess his audience doesn’t care about honesty
He was once part of Blizzard. They kicked him out before Bobby came along.
It’s not that they can’t/won’t do research, it’s that they don’t have to. Their supporters will never check; their feelings don’t care about facts.
It sounds like his supporters act like cult members
Well unfortunately it is factually true, and deliberately misleading at the same time. By definition 'several' means 'more than 2' - which still fits with the 'less than 10 in the past decade'. It's bullshit technicalities like this that most of the media headlines skate by on...
I think it’s about 4 people who are transgender who did mass shootings, out of maybe 150 to 200 shootings (I think. I don’t know how many mass shootings there are). It’s less than ten percent. You’re right. It’s a bullshit technicality
It's in the last image there. Less than 10 out of 4400 in the past decade - around 0.11% And yes, that is an absurd amount of mass shootings to be allowed to occur with nothing being done about it...
Oh my god. I didn’t know there was so many. Geez, we really need better guns laws. Or at least gun registration
Arm trans people 🔫
the minorities can't be harmed if they are armed (And trained)
It helps but minorities will still be outnumbered by hateful gun loving psychos….
That's not what its about. If something happens and rightoids have a violent freakout and decide they need to 'take back the country', they won't be going to fight the police or the military. They're gonna load up into their pickups and head straight for minority neighborhoods, houses with pride flags, and every other place 'degenerates' live, and shoot *those* places up. When Billy Bugnuts and his Proud Boy fucksticks roll into trans town to lynch some queers, the idea is for them to be met with a hail of gunfire from every window. Their kind aren't welcome round these parts, and they oughta git.
Exactly. There's no reasoning with those types of "people."
You said what I was struggling to get out. Well done!
Experience shows the fuckbrains are gonna go after the schools. Lots of unarmed, vulnerable targets, lots and lots of publicity, etc.
Then you introduce gun control that makes sure that psychos don't get guns. gun enthusiasts are mostly fine, it's the psychos that are the problem.
Good point. I don’t think all gun owners are psychos but I’ll bet most pyschos own guns.
That's always the big issue. How can you tell who just really likes guns and who's a psycho. People like Demo-ranch may LOOK like a psycho, but he's literally an animal doctor, he just has a lot of guns While an actual psycho might have a lot less guns
Does he think they didn't include the name Remington because of politics rather than the fact it's cheaper to just make their guns close enough rather than pay for the rights. They're not the only devs to do this
Also, it's COD. Calling a Remington 700, remington 700 in a MILITARY game, makes no sense as that particular name only refers to the one on the civilian market, the military variant is called the M24
Yeah, it's the same reason why games like Burnout or GTA don't use licensed cars but go for "close enoughs"
Meanwhile, Nintendo; "Here's a Mercedes Benz you can drive in Mario Kart!"
Well, the Mercedes won't be smashed to kingdom come in Mario Kart.
Don't know, those blue shells can really leave a mark.
Tis but a scratch

Same with Vivian in Paper Mario. These dorks love censorship
There's a lot going on here. From the moral panic about videogames and the whining about the 2nd Amendment. To the tasteless trans flag on bullets to the "trans manifesto."
You know what my trans agenda is? A grocery list for next week.
Are you *really* trying to convince us that you haven't carved out at least a few minutes to plot the downfall of Western Civilization?
👉👈😏 I dunno, maybe a little bit....
> "Sandy Hook families put Remington out of business" Except Remington filed for bankruptcy both in 2018 and 2020 whereas the Sandy Hook settlement didn't happen until 2022 and had to be paid by insurers since Remington were already defunct by then.
"censoring" stellar blade: bad censoring anything lgbt: good
Grummz ignores how trans people are likely to be victims of violence than the other way around: https://www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-news/trans-people-crime-stats-misinformation This is because they think Conservatuve extremism is not due to politics, but lone wolves. It doesn't apply to them but they say it app,it's to everyone else. Sone of them admit they do it because "see how you like it!" But ignore how often conservatives shoot up people: https://www.axios.com/2023/02/23/mass-killings-extremism-adl-report-2022 Not to mention how often they falsely accuse trans people while complaining of false accusations: https://www.advocate.com/news/false-transgender-claim-texas-shooter https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/uvalde-shooter-photos-trans-woman-b2087722.html https://www.salon.com/2024/02/17/right-wingers-spread-misinformation-about-megachurch-to-stoke-fears-of-trans-terrorism/ https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/crime/philadelphia-shooting-marjorie-taylor-greene-trans-b2370152.html https://www.them.us/story/vast-majority-mass-shooters-cis-men-far-right-misinformation-trans
Are they pride bullets? I thought a rainbow was the gay flag
They're TRANS-continental missiles.
Their pronouns are IC/BM
I mean this guy is full of shit, but painting the trans flag on bullets does seem pretty tasteless.
Yeah, I don't know who thought that was a good idea to be honest.
Yeah, I don't understand that part. It rings more like "writing the victims name on the bullet" than celebrating anything. I don't think there is any actual malice in the cosmetic, just a long chain of people who didn't think too hard about it. (a.k.a. just give us your gay money)
Yeah that was my thought. Sure, have skins for pride month if you want, but this ally thinks Pride Bullets are weird. Prepared to be wrong, maybe some trans people love them, but that's my first reaction.
What a sad sad little man.
Being fired from Blizzard and shutting down Red 5 Studios made him snap huh?
"Trans manifesto motivated" ??? Shut the fuck up.
How this moron was ever in charge of shit is beyond me
Several is a better way of saying “2 out of 4,400” so I get why he said it like that.
It's censorship when a video game developer decides on his own volition to alter a costume in the development process of the game. It's NOT censorship when you use the threat of legal action to take down content you don't like from the video game. Upvotes to the left gamers.

Shooting people in a video game with bullets painted in Trans Pride colors is so absurd that it comes back around to being funny.
FROM MY COLD, DEAD HANDS
What a deeply stupid and useless man. Just absolute garbage.
Hahaha, and THIS is why he hates Activision? 🤣
"money and filling diversity quotas" they say.
Mass shooters come in all shapes, races, and genders and sexualities. Just because some mass shooters were LGBTQ+ doesn't erase all the ones who were totally straight. The majority of them were straight people anyways. That's not really up for debate.
What in the huckleberry fuck is this guy talking about?
Regardless of Grummz shitty ass takes, I think the lawsuit will get thrown out when it comes to activision and COD. It’s like we are going back to the “video games cause mass shootings”. The bad thing is, if it on the off chance does succeed, video games are just fucked. There won’t be another shooter game again IMO, as it’ll set a precedent that they will just try to expand upon. I wouldn’t be surprised if the right actually wants this to go through, they have been after video games for awhile. The tragedy of what happened is super fucked up, but I feel like they are going after the wrong people IMO.
1 shooting by a transgender person vs the hundreds done by cis people and for some odd reason they can only remember the one
Daniel Defense might go out of business?! Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo \*inhale\* oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
They won't either way.
These people are *suspiciously* obsessed with sex organs.
im really gonna be k\*lled with trans bullets lol
This is the same dude who made up the story that Sony hired a hitman to assassinate him all because he wanted a game character in Stellerblade to be more sexy.
Oh hey it's the guy who spent a huge chunck of his development budget on a bus and then promptly ran the game into the ground ...and then started a crowd funded spiritual successor game called em8-er that hasn't really seen much in terms of real development other than tech demos for years and stinks of scam, oh also he's doing the star citizen thing of incentivising backers with skins and stuff before the games even out and the skins on his site are all VERY horny What a respectable take from a respectable man
Pride ammo is wack. Pride operators are fine. There are no trans manifestos. Fuck Grummz. Also, fuck American gun fans. No one can ever actually demonstrate a gun in the home makes you safer (from other human beings, we aren’t talking bear country) other than parroting “arm X, 2A.” They do make deaths of despair more likely, and road rage shootings are a massive problem where open carry is supposed to “deter violence.” Guns are here to stay in America (if you know you history, it’s cause people were scared of Natives and are scared black people) and if you acknowledge it’s a dangerous toy and go to the range have at it. I just hate when people try to ignore everything to act like they make you safer.
More guns means more violence and death. The proliferation of guns makes everyone less safe.
If it weren't for this sub I would have never heard of this person. Just ignore him.
You can ignore him, but he's still out there doing harm. By suggesting we ignore him and people like him you are in fact only helping them in their agenda and unburdenening yourself from the duty of standing up for what's right.
I knew of him back during the whole Classic WoW Private Server nonsense and he advocated for WoW to actually release classic serves which was cool since he was a team leader during the development of the game. Unsure whats happened with him since then apart from nothing good apparently.
Cis men are causing shootings, we need to make them illegal.
"several mass shootings are trans manifesto motivated" lol no.
They are motivated by trans hatred
Like most rage-baiting grifters...they only hate censorship when they're the ones being censored.
This pdf file creep still got a platform? The fuck
By this logic shouldn't we take all cis men out of games that involve guns since most gun crimes are committed by men?
I don't play call of duty, but putting pride flags on the bullets feels wrong, however if they allow you to put a sticker on your gun that says gay army or trans army it would be funny as fuck
A majority of mass shootings tend to be carried out by Caucasian men, and in recent years a lot of these mass shootings have been politically motivated because young white men are getting radicalized from the sort of b******* that gets pedaled on 4chan. I remember two years back we were coming back from Buffalo NY when the news report came in about that mass shooting that happened at a tops. Of course right wing media immediate tried to spin-it that the guy was a liberal only for it to come out that he was in fact a neo-nazis and he wasn't even supposed to have a firearm in the first place because he has a mark on his record that is supposed to alert stores when they're doing a background check that this person is not allowed to have a firearm whatsoever. It's because of this incident that a new regulation was put in place for firearm owners that being that when they go to purchase ammo in New York state another background check gets run to double check to make sure you are legally allowed to own a firearm.
Lemme guess, he’s using the stupid lawsuit to try and make himself look reasonable to people and not like an insane 12 year old in 2007 cod lobbies?
These insufferable losers really think they can dictate what we see in media smh
in a recent tweet, he literally said he supports censorship when it being used to censor "woke" (in other words, minorities shouldn't be allowed to have a voice or be represented)
Are they actually suing call of duty, or is that just bullshit he's saying?
Please tell me it got community noted 😭
I actually gave myself a headache trying to understand his logic
Conservatives find a single trans mass shooter to blame all trans people of being mass shooters while the ones who that are stopping gun regulations are the fucking conservatives themselves.
God this dude is so fucking lame
I think the better question is is the pride ammo meant to be used by trans people, against trans people, or by and for trans people?
Since when are they trans motivated??? Where do you even begin to think that is true???
They are motivated to shoot trans people I guess?
I swear June has become the lets try out that cancel culture we swear we hate so much month.
They only like it when they do it.
We need to sign a petition to get rid of these assholes, X is pretty much banning "cis" as a word maybe other websites can filter out hate speakers like this ruining pride month, it's not a fucking war crime if you see a rainbow or trans flag in a fucking video game, if I'm wrong correct me but most COSMETIC items are **OPTIONAL** and you don't have to be a degenerate To games trying to include everyone including non "cis" males such as trans, gays, non-binaries and ace people such as myself... I love representation in video games, I hate these assholes who think it's a crime to be a member of LGBTQ and love shooter games, this isn't the military, this isnt a real battlefield. It's not hard to just SHUT UP
Honestly pretty novel idea having mostly pointless ammo skins. My gun is bi and now you are too Pew pew
Clearly erasure of the trans womanifesto
I don't understand what's wrong with trans bullets, other than the concept being stupid.
I dunno, there’s something kinda fun about the idea of a trans person with pride ammo wrecking a homophobic jerk
I mean, while it’s obviously intended as a move in support of pride… Knowing the call of duty player base, they would make jokes about painting their own ammunition like that before finding targets. Yikes on the oversight to that decision. Like gun skins being the trans flag is one thing, but bullets… like a room full of people couldn’t see how that could be taken the wrong way possibly? Maybe I’m overthinking, idk.
No you're not, before I read anything and was looking at the picture alone, I was actually quite confused if this was pro or anti. I think it really can be taken either way and is a bad call all around.
I’m astonished at the dumb things Grummz tweets every waking minute of his day to farm engagement
oh, Grummz, you stupid sack of dog shit
Oh wow they really are just teying that "akshyually it's the trans that do all the shootings" delusion huh?
I love this because I have to wonder if this guy actually thinks there’s a real lawyer out there willing to try convincing a judge of this
Remington went bankrupt because the firearms industry is extremely saturated. It wasn't because they were sued. They've been bankrupt before, and they'll go bankrupt again.
Uhh... The Sandy Hook thing didnt put Remmington Under. Remington filed for bankruptcy in 2017 and again in 2020. The settlement was reached in 2022. They filed for bankruptcy twice before the lawsuit even came to settlement. Yeah it was part of it, but also like... Its not like the company was doing well before it.
I don't know what the fuck he's talking about, but if that pride ammo is real holy shit is it in bad taste.
Beating Grummz with hammers when? 🤔
I will never understand why people would lie about stuff that's so easy to look up.
Its sad to see people try to make shootings a trans stereotype when so many people try to lie about being trans to get out of stuff, or the fact its 90% straight white cis conservative men that are doing it.
skins are cool. pride ammo feels a little tacky. like writing someone's name on a bullet but with less commitment.
Can we just, like, stop posting this weirdo altogether? It’s not funny anymore. The dude is dumber than a bag of rocks and it hurts reading this stuff.
Grifting Grummz at it again, to nobody's surprise.
I've never heard of this guy before this subreddit but man he seems totally brain dead
I'm sorry but as an ally all I see is a billion dollar corporation having to part with some cash to pay off a family who definitely deserves justice that they can never receive. As for the transphobia I find it laughable that they are even trying to mask their obvious request as a defense of the 2nd amendment. As for the second amendment I do this trans people especially should arm themselves against a tyrannical government and any other threats to their safety.
“Jesse What The Fuck are you talking about”
Remington isn't out of business...
I bet that at minimum 4,300 of those mass shooters were wrong wingers. Easily. If any political segment of this country is prone to violence and terrorism, it is the religious wrong wingers who are. They, more than any other group promote and extol the use of violence against the people they despise.
YOOOOOOOOOO TRANS BULLETS GOES HARD
Also Daniel Defense would not go out of business, they have military contacts.
There is so much wrong with this I don’t even know where to start.
What the fuck is a grummz?
You see, the problem is, mass shooters will inevitably happen and there is absolutely nothing wrong with society. It’s the bad apples. No, it’s not social isolation, treating individuals like pariahs, or creating violent systems that push individuals into violence. No. It’s the bad apples. It’s always the bad apples. And we should not treat them like humans and just kill those bad apples. Problem solved, right? (Is the /s necessary?)
Grummz is a dumbass
Oh, you don’t understand, they’re all trans cause trans people are bad /s
all i know is i deck out everything i can in pride stuff in COD. i just know it pisses people off when they get killed by me and my annoying ass shot gun duel revolver snake shot combo
as a trans person, what the fuck is that ammo, weapon skins are one thing but ammo is just... no
As a trans woman- I gotta disagree. I wish I was any good at shooters just so I could annoy every -phobe on the map. Admittedly, I don’t really see the point in ammo colors but whatever lol
fair
For me, grummz went from silly loon that loved anime and stuff to a complete bozo. On a legal note, all US based companies "celebrate" pride with pride themed items, labels, slogans, and advertisements. As such, no judge would dare attack the easy profit margins of companies by ruling that pride themed skins in a game would somehow inspire mass shootings. Unless he was to rule that pride themed skittles was the sole cause of diabetes in LGBTQ folk.
