TL;DR

A possible bug in Call of Duty's latest update has led to a right-wing conspiracy theory about "trans bullets," with transphobic commentators falsely claiming the game promotes transgender violence. The issue appears to be isolated to a specific weapon skin and is likely a result of the game's complex shader system. Activision has not commented on the matter, but the controversy highlights ongoing tensions around LGBTQ+ representation in gaming.
