CoD BACKLASH for Homelander Skin Too Violent?

Call of Duty is facing some backlash again, this time for their collab with THE BOYS, and giving the main character and villain Homelander his own skin in their game, despite his crimes and bad actions as a fictional character. Thoughts?

He's the perfect operator for the COD community.

They also had Shredder and the murder from Scream as operators. They are FICTIONAL characters.

[Cletus_Van_Damme]

It's down right diabolical that Butcher isn't getting a skin...

[urchinsify]

They tryna cancel a fictional character now.... LMAO

[MoRpHuS]

It's the way they handled Nick and Tim and then add the stuff they do IMO

[vizii]

Actually happy a channel like this is gaining traction. Goodluck to you.

[CARTUNE.]

Homelander Character: rapist, psychopathic murderer...

NickMercs: Hey leave the kids alone...love who you love. *CANCELED*

[TheGameFather]

Don't remember the communuty having an issue with all the killers during Halloween 🤔

[superlol]

I think it will be retconned that Homelander is an R word...In the comics it wasn't actually him who did the thing.

[imDeify]

It's a cool fake character super hero and furthermore it's just a video game.

This woke bs needs to stop NOW.

"Honey grab the assault rifles, the internet is acting stupid again."

Idgaf about CoD but this is just a badass character skin, nothing more, nothing less.

I don't agree with them putting any type of agenda pushing skins in the game.

Keep games politic free.

I'm just leave this here: " THEY SHOULD LEAVE LITTLE KIDS ALONE. THAT's THE REAL ISSUE "

" Purple snakes are slithering "

" Who’s running Call of Duty PR and Marketing now? Same people from the purple snakes? Pathetic. "

Activision is Vought International IRL.

The show is literally AMAZING.... the fact that people are really taking this to that level is absurd.... the game we are playing is literally shooting eachother. What is wrong with society nowadays?
People need to really get over it. There are things to fight for and things to let go. Homelander is a villian.... but he's still a very well written character, which is why people like him. Darth Vader is literally one of the most iconic characters in pop culture and he killed entire planets. WHO CARES, ITS A GAME.

Guess what today is the day it’s supposed to be released today but it hasn’t came out yet

[chimpo]

I'm pretty sure that one of call of duty antagonists are the same way, I mean it's just a game take things way too far, especially with NickMercs situation since both him and his friends got their own operators removed

[kryptogaming]

Like in all honestly. let's be real. We know what COD cares about and that is money. They'll back, Collab, or even make a deal with the devil to make tht money. I do love the game but they make it really hard too. hopefully new management will change the direction but until then gotta witness their consistent disappointment

[Prof.Albusdumbledore]

BRO THEY LITERALLY HAVE A SCREAM AND JASON SKIN!

[Fearingbubble]

People would complain if homelander wasn't in it he's the most popular character from the show people will always complain no matter what

[lelo]

lol First Nick and Tims skins get taken out and now imagine this skin gets deleted. lol

[itsbrainiac]

You are playing a game called Warzone. You are playing a war game simulator. There haz been other fictional characters in this game from violent movies but you are saying this is too violent?
