i know zero cod lore what did konig do
he's a little bitch
on a serious note, it's not what he - his character - specifically did, it's what his fanbase did. i think last year(?) there was a splurge of konig fans who were crazy over him. to the point where they would deliberately start replacing gaz (one of the main characters in cod) with the big ass white ass bitch. "look, it's task force 141" but it's just ghost, price, soap, and mf konig. thats not 141, that's just 4 white guys
sure, some people just like konig bc idk and i get it, you prefer one character over the other, but it becomes an issue when a character of color just gets replaced over and over again by a white man all because he's tall and wears a mask. konig doesn't even have a deliberate backstory, nevermind a place within the main cod game. he's literally just an operator, a background character in a background game.
even more so when these exact same people pull up the excuse of "oh, i just dont know how to write gaz 🥺🥺🥺" like???? just say you're racist and go. GAZ IS LITERALLY A MAIN CHARACTER IN THE MAIN COD GAMES + YOU LITERALLY PLAY HIS CHARACTER !!!!! we learn so much about him, about his backstory and personality and mannerisms, and he's such an interesting character but they fucking replace him with a white man.
speaking of konig, i also hate how the fandom characterize him as either: a creep and a stalker who's abusive and so damn toxic, or as a shy and uwu person who can't ask for ketchup (okay but the art goes hard for both versions) like ! he's neither, he's a confident, arrogant, and skilled colonel who - at most - gets awkward sometimes. he's not some creep who steals your underwear or uses his rank to get you, or someone who cries whenever someone yells at him. HES NEITHER OF THOSE HE'S JUST SOME GUY.
so tldr: the fandom ruined konig for me, so i have a love-hate relationship with that stupid bitch.

From Vincent Price's radio show, "The Saint" circa 1950. This man is a true legend. I adore him.
Ladies and gentlemen, poison doesn’t always come in bottles. And it isn’t always marked with the skull and crossbones of danger. Poison can take the form of words and phrases and acts: the venom of racial and religious hatred. Here in the United States, perhaps more than ever before, we must learn to recognize the poison of prejudice and to discover the antidote to its dangerous effects. Evidences of racial and religious hatred in our country place a potent weapon in the hands of our enemies, providing them with the ammunition of criticism. Moreover, group hatred menaces the entire fabric of democratic life. As for the antidote: you can fight prejudice, first by recognizing it for what it is, and second by actively accepting or rejecting people on their individual worth, and by speaking up against prejudice and for understanding. Remember, freedom and prejudice can’t exist side by side. If you choose freedom, fight prejudice.
