They Tried to Cancel a Father for Standing Against the Trans Agenda, but He’s Going to Get the Last Laugh

  

The greatest enemy the LGBT activists have isn’t Christians like they like to say, it’s parents. Plain and simple. 

Parents all over the world have been rising up in order to keep indoctrination of their children by radical activists in the transgender community from encroaching on their children’s entertainment, education, and activities. This is often met with pushback from politicians, corporations, and activist groups, but regardless of the pressure, parents continue to push forward, undaunted. 

And why not? Their children’s lives are on the line, and while these activists and politicians might only see a tool, parents see the most important part of their lives. 

The more in the public spotlight you are, the harder they come down on you. One father, in particular, is a public-facing man and has been for some time. Now, after merely siding with another public-facing individual who openly resists the transgender agenda, this father is being punished by corporations who once supported him. 

Australian father Ilir Pali is a former professional soccer player turned streamer going by the name IP Impact. Pali is popular enough that he scored a brand deal with Logitech, a lucrative opportunity for him and one that many streamers work toward. When it comes to streaming, brand deals are one of the big goals. 

However, one day, Pali came to the defense of a streamer that I’ve reported about here on RedState before. 

Nick Kolcheff, known popularly as “Nickmercs,” fired a shot at the transgender activist community when he commented on a video of parents in Glendale, CA, having to brawl LGBT activists in front of their children’s school while protesting the activists’ attempts to indoctrinate their children. This prompted Kolcheff to say that these activists needed to leave the kids alone, sparking what would swiftly develop into a controversy that ended with Activision removing Kolcheff’s likeness from their game “Call of Duty: Warzone.” This prompted other famous streamers to side with Kolcheff and resulting in a mass boycott of the game.

Kolcheff recently reentered the news for his use of the word “tranny” earning him a week-long ban from Twitch, which I covered here , Pali commented that he never removed the Nickmercs skin in the game, consistently using it as he loved the symbol it had become. This prompted the brass at Logitech to terminate their deal with Pali, simply for siding with Kolcheff on the idea that political activists should leave children alone. 

But while this was definitely a blow to Pali, it’s only reinforced his belief that what he’s doing is right. He uploaded a video to X detailing his situation and why, as a father, he’s not backing down. 

I reached out to Pali wanting to know more, and he filled me in on his stance, and not only that, how he’s using his own company “Toddler Tough” to help deal with softening of children, especially young boys. 

Pali told me that while the loss of the brand deal hit him financially and likely cost him some opportunities, he’s okay with it as he doesn’t want to associate with a company that doesn’t align with him on this subject anyway. 

“As a father of two boys, it’s clear that there is this agenda being pushed onto our kids and the majority of the people understand it’s disgusting and unacceptable,” said Pali. “I say majority, because truthfully, most people understand and agree with this but not enough are vocal about it because of this cancel culture. It’s this vocal minority that’s causing the silent majority to self-censor. People lose jobs, contracts terminated, face cancellation etc.” 

Pali’s belief translated to action. He started “Toddler Tough,” a company that creates toys that gets young children active and encourages play.

“Something I found very frustrating with today was this ‘participation trophy’ mentality. The lessons in losing and winning are vital,” Pali told me. “So a friend of mine and myself decided to start Toddler Tough. A brand focused on bringing products to parents that help them raise kids through sport, rough play etc.” 

Looking at what Pali created in the “Sports Arena Playpen,” you can see what he means. The playpen is a mini field that can be used to teach toddlers how to kick a ball into a goal. There are even attachments that allow toddlers to learn how to throw balls into a basket, a la basketball. 

However, the most standout addition you can get is a punching bag and boxing gloves, which I’m sure in this day and age could send more than a few participation trophy parents reeling. 

“We started with our flagship product, The Sports Arena Playpen, which is a playpen featuring a soccer goal and a basketball hoop,” said Pali. “This was great for toddlers in their motor skill development, understanding how to aim for a target, resilience in standing straight back up after falling over, enjoyment with physical activity etc. We introduced our mini punch bag, gloves, ball set and now are about to release our MMA Arena Playpen, boxing mount attachments, play mats and more. All products that align with our mission statement of “raising the champions of tomorrow.” 

Pali and his business partner are just getting the business off the ground, and they’re always improving and coming up with new ideas. 

In an age where we’re constantly inundated with pressure to make softer children and forced “acceptance” of lifestyles that are ultimately harmful for them by political-driven activists, stories like Pali’s are a breath of fresh air. His company deserves to succeed, not only because his products encourage a healthy mentality for children to have, but because finding people who truly stand up for good values in an environment where this could result in social and financial destruction should be rewarded. 

Kolcheff’s refusal to back down may have very well triggered something of a revolution, encouraging others to do the same. Pali is definitely one of those people, and he deserves our support. More than that, our children deserve our support, and that means supporting those who would support them.
