12-year-old gamer goes viral for calling out his friend's homophobia

[Demovictory9]

A 12-year-old gamer has been widely praised on social media after he called out homophobia while playing a game with his friends online.

In the two clips, which have been viewed more than one million times on social media, the younger brother of @bummblebee__ can be seen playing the Call of Duty: Warzone video game while having an intense conversation about LGBTQ+ rights after calling out his friends homophobia.

“So you just blatantly admit to being homophobic?” he asks one of his friends who presumably confirms this as he replies “you know that this means that I automatically don’t like you because that’s really f**ked up?”

2. Keeps kids from getting into trouble.

I’m all for kids playing games. Just not 24/7. They are great for eye hand coordination which is important.

4. The old hand-eye coordination trope was debunked a long time ago.

Evidently, the only thing playing a video game makes you good at is playing the game. If gamers grow up to be world-class pilots or something, it won't be because of video games.

5. You could be right. Who knows.

I just don't think WAR should be presented as entertainment.

Unlike what some some in the thread think there’s really nothing to find fault in here.
