but does the stalker one have the +10% critical hit chance and the "just tell them to wear facepro" stitching?

Thanks for making us aware of this; I will ensure that I never buy anything from them.

To be fair, it's kinda not their fault, blame the sheep & plebs that follow Licking Cumstain & believe the hype, the retailer is just seizing a business opportunity, it's likely they're aware of the disdain that many of us have for him, probably far outweighed by those who follow him ?
I still wouldn't buy his
though

Any retailer should be concerned with the image of Airsoft in this country considering how precarious our legality is. Shame as I was considering buying a JG SIG 552 from them.To be fair, it's kinda not their fault, blame the sheep & plebs that follow Licking Cumstain & believe the hype, the retailer is just seizing a business opportunity, it's likely they're aware of the disdain that many of us have for him, probably far outweighed by those who follow him ?

How the hell is he the most popular Airsoft YouTuber? Is this just what people want, revenge porn?

Bit like cutting your nose off to spite your own face no? I've had nothing but good experiences with socom so them stocking licking cum stain gear won't stop me from buying from them, I just won't buy his gear.
Novritsch sells horribly overpriced rebrands but I bet you still buy from retailers that stock his gear.
Socom are a business that needs to make money, sadly cum stain is popular as is his gear and it sells so from a business POV it makes sense.
Him and Nov probably got thousands more people into the sport that wouldn't have otherwise thought about it because of their videos, wether you like them or loathe them they increase the popularity of a very niche sport. It's not like you can randomly bump into him on site unless you specifically chose to go to one of the few sites he isn't banned from.

This is hardly news, they've been stocking his crap since at least the beginning of May.
While I agree he's a complete throbber and I wouldn't bat an eye if he was hit by a bus tomorrow, I find the hysteria around hating him to be almost as bad as his fanboys and is just giving him all the attention and publicity he craves. As @Tackle posted, they're just cashing in on a business opportunity

Novritch sells shite, Kicking Mustang is banned from practically every site in the country. That says it all! Socom are legitimising him. I don't know how long you have been round airsoft, but airsoft was so close to being banned in 2007, at the moment it just takes the Home Secretary to listen to some pearl clutcher and decide no more airsoft. The community, retailers (especially them) should not be giving life to someone who whole deal is to bring airsoft into disrepute.

I'd put money on the majority of his viewers have never and will never play a game in their lives. It's pages like ladbible reposting his videos that made him popular

Agreed. It's the same way Bodgeups' channel became so well known.

But you still buy from retailers that sell his gear? So how is it any different buying from a place that stocks cum stain gear?
Like I said the chance of bumping into him are incredibly slim.
They are making a smart business decision, he's popular and his gear sells well. Sales = profit, not sure how that's hard to understand?
Since 2005 so well aware how close it was to being banned, one of my main rifles is a 20+ year old VSR that I bought second hand months before the VCRA came into effect.
I've yet to see any news outlet reference him at all, it's always idiots waving guns in the street that gets headlines not headshot videos.
He doesn't bring the sport into disrepute, it's more popular now than it ever has been due to social media and video's from people like him.
Personally I'm happy for the increase in players, more people keeping the sport alive and willing to fight to continue to play.

Agree 100%, keeping the game going in it's present form has to be the priority, but I suspect that's our priority only.
Given the number of long term bricks & mortar retailers that have closed their doors of late, i wonder is this possibly a desperate push to find a new revenue stream.

One assumes that their position is assuming fanbois buying the km products plus noncommital people buying as normal outweighs the lost sales.
And tbf they're probably correct in that assumption, there are companies with far far bigger sins to boycott them for yet very few actually do it.

I understand the dislike of KM, not a fan myself, but he has pull and an audience. I am sure some of the retailers realise this too and unfortunately his shit sells. I have not really bought alot of KMCS stuff except some Leaf Scraps for my Ghillie. (His are cheaper than oak masters). To shun a business opportunity in such a niche hobby wouldn't be a wise idea for any of them. Punishing a company just for stocking gear from someone you don't like is a bit unfair 
Stopping retailers selling his gear isn't going to stop him being him.
I can't comment on Novritsch as I use his gear. Never used his RIFS, but I've also never had any issues with the stuff I have bought. As a P90 user, I had little option but to buy his SSR90 pouches, which are 100% the best pouches for a P90 I have found. Granted, some items are overpriced rebrands, but his ghillie gear, pouches, clothing, etc. are actually decent. Plus I absolutely love Kreuzotter as its close to Pencott Greenzone without being £200 a piece lol and matches my game sites perfectly.

Novritch isn't going to do anything that could get airsoft banned in the UK that's the difference how is that not clear from my post? Kicking Mustang is a threat to UK Airsoft.
