Black Ops 7 ad banned in the UK for 'triviliazing sexual violence'

An advertisement for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 released in November 2025 has been banned in the UK after that country's Advertising Standards Authority upheld complaints that it "trivialized sexual violence."

The ad is an entry in the long-running "Replacer" series of Call of Duty promos featuring Peter Stormare, who in this one is joined by Nikki Glaser in an airport security line. In the ad, Stormare tells one man in line that he's "been randomly selected to be manhandled," and then orders him to face the wall.
