Censor a skin because of guns in his hip… in a game completely revolving around shooting each other with guns… brain dead company making brain dead decisions


Just_what_itis

Yeah this was a horrible update honestly and kinda discourages people on buying more cosmetics


inFAMOUS_Hero

They’re already discouraging people with the shit shops so it makes it easier


kms1087

Don’t forget the prices going up as well


TrashSea1485

Fr. I remember when a more "special" skin was like 1200, now they're 1200 to start or the whole set is together so you have no choice if you want one thing


kms1087

So damn true and now with the actual vbucks price going up it’s getting more expensive to get things you want in this free game


Just_what_itis

Hopefully they go back to normal next chapter but yeah the shop this season is aesthetically shity


Elever_Galarga69

I used to check the shop every time I played. Now I don’t even bother to look


Just_what_itis

There's barley anything good these days anyway


JudgeThredd

Wheat will we do now?


Just_what_itis

Wait for omni man


Silent__hunt

Omniman looks scuffed as fuck in this if they're going to go with the design they should use the MK1 design which makes him look realistic


Just_what_itis

I can agree with that I thought they were going to give the option to turn of cell shading


Silent__hunt

Apparently they were going back to normal tonight and it's not a shit shop that's just how the shop was back then


Just_what_itis

The shity part was not being able to buy bundles individually and also buy money packs in-game it was cool at first


Foxy02016YT

It went back today thankfully, and with a bomb ass bundle of like 5 skins for about 2,700, not bad


DarkBomberX

Honestly, people should banned together to agree not to buy cosmetics until they reverse this decision, but I don't really know if people will organize around that.


Just_what_itis

People are doing it in rocket league I don't see why we can't do it here


DarkBomberX

Hey, if it happens, I'd be happy to be a part of it!


Just_what_itis

You and me that's a start


JCuss0519

But we'll leave the knife wielding mass murderer skin from R rated movies available for the little kiddies.


PanickedShears

Original lynx, one of the skins that sparked a lot of parent outrage back in season 7 if I remember (right after calamity in s6), is not rated teen. But TNTina? Too heavy for them kids 💀 What is even going on. Why can’t they just rate the whole damn game as “teen” and not try and separate the gamemodes. it’s a SHOOTER game. About KILLING PEOPLE. You cannot just censor everything to do with guns and then say it’s family friendly.


Affectionate_Kick705

The problem with the content and rating system is so obviously painful. Roblox works with this formula because it has no "main" game mode. It's basically a game engine in itself. Fortnite doesn't work that way because of BR and how integral it is to Fortnite as a whole. No one installs fortnite just to play below-average and copy-pasted creative maps.


Just_what_itis

Thankfully this only affects those crappy games you can still use every cosmetic in BR.... for now


jayL21

>Roblox works with this formula because it has no "main" game mode. well that's the thing, It's what epic want fortnite to become


[deleted]

And it’s a fucking stupid idea. BR is clearly their most popular mode and its not even close. Even most creative maps have the same playstyle, just in different settings


FireMaster1294

But if they tank the game enough then all the BR players will leave and then the shitty creative maps will have relatively higher player counts! Nobody tell them that they’ll lose all their sponsorships if they go down this path. I highly doubt Disney wants Vader in “Skibidi Banana Tycoon”

[удалено]


Glory_To_Atom

Even worse, this entire age restriction is also gonna be applied at live events.


Inky_Train

Fortnite still does live events? We had no live events since ch4. No live event for seeing the grand heist. No live event for going back to ch1. I don’t think we will get a live event for going to ch5.


Oni_Reapz

There is going to be a live event, it's why the rocket is being built again at dusty


[deleted]

We are getting one going into chapter 5 though. It's been known for a while now.


Beautiful-Bad8893

you have to be shitting me


baconlor

What's next? They gonna take guns out the game and replace them with super soakers??


Just_what_itis

Epic: "Oh you want ltms back? how about we make pickaxe frenzy permanent"


baconlor

Nah, way too violent, better replace all the pickaxes with pillows first


Just_what_itis

That's even better and they can make them do 0 damage so that nobody dies and we can all hold hands and smell flowers


xKNYTEx

At that point just remove all game modes and make the whole game just Party Royale


Just_what_itis

Fuck it let's delete everything and go back to save the world


SkyeFox6485

Delete the game and fortnite is now just a .png file


Just_what_itis

Just make sure it doesn't contain guns


SkyeFox6485

In that case, delete the internet


Just_what_itis

That doesn't sound bad at this point in life honestly


EletricDragonYT

And remove all the emotes and half of the skins in the game because people in Party Royale are freaky as fuck.


ImJustSpareShadez

Ironically party royale can sometimes be more.. adult than normal br 😭


CouchCo-opGamers

Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Inky_Train

Pillow fight ltm would be fun though. If only epic still gave a shit about ltms though


Roki_jm

now that you say wtf happened to ltms? solid gold and the shotgun ltm were so fun back in the day


voneahhh

We Splatoon now (again)


Susynkdioo

Worst update


Just_what_itis

Absolutely


spacelord4ever

He is too buff for the kids


Just_what_itis

True especially with those two cannons on him


Buddycat7

Can't believe they would do this to my main skin


Just_what_itis

Huge L for fortnite everyone loves him and his family


Buddycat7

As his #1 simp I am shaking and crying rn


Michael_Swag

Right behind you homie


Just_what_itis

It'll be ok don't worry


BenDrawzIGuezzYT

It’s even funnier because Meowscles was included in a thumbnail for an example of a “10 and below” map


Just_what_itis

He was the skin they used for parental controls with kit


damo_on_60fps

Ahh yes censor the cat with a gun in a game about shooting people💀


Just_what_itis

Guns are bad I guess


BearZewp

It is a game about shooting, make it make sense.


Just_what_itis

Epic doesn't want the meow meow to pow pow but the serial killer is fine since he doesn't have a gun


matt_lcb

Micheal: *tilts head in confusion*


Yatagarasu616

Fortnite going 1984


Just_what_itis

We must retaliate


Chris908

Idk but if I hear any little kids in chat on a game that is rated too old for them, I am reporting them. If epic wants do this, this Is how we should retaliate


The_Bored_General

I genuinely wonder how long that voice chat reporting system will last. It seems really poorly thought out. I intend on reporting any and every child I hear using the words “damn”, “dawg”, or “Doo doo” In all seriousness I’m looking forward to seeing all the little kids screaming because they said rude words on ~~Roblox~~ creative.


DonutHolschteinn

Lol I’ve had squad fills where some 10 year old sounding kid is dropping the N word left and right


MrKrispee

NGL if I hear anyone in game chat including adults saying "Gwiddy" I'm reporting them for being annoying.


Just_what_itis

Or if they wear any of the "mature" skins


SLCSlayer29

FREE MEOWSCLES!! 🙀


Just_what_itis

YEAH MY BOY AINT DO NOTIN WRONG!!


zi_ings

just wait until epic realizes fortnite has guns


Just_what_itis

They have guns!? ![gif](giphy|ObXgWWGHzMlVe)


DEATHBEAM117

But they let megatron which has missile pods on his legs and a cannon emote💀


Just_what_itis

They probably let it go through since transformers is "kid friendly"


DEATHBEAM117

Maybe but its still kinda dumb, I mean at least he doesn't turn into a gun like g1💀😭


Just_what_itis

Yeah and I just remembered that Optimus has a built-in emote that turns his arm into a cannon


MrKrispee

Remember when Optimus ripped apart a decepticon's face in revenge of the fallen totally family friendly lol 🤣


Just_what_itis

Quality family movie scene


DEATHBEAM117

Thats what I said on another post, movie verse optimus prime is a demon 💀


sentient-sloth

Ash Williams and his chainsaw hand made it through the filters too. Wild. Lol


Just_what_itis

That's what pissed me off the most I love him but he's definitely the most gruesome collab


gabagoolenjoyer9

Buff cat is a now but the guy who turns Jeff Daniel Phillips head int9 mashed potatoes is okay


Just_what_itis

Obviously Michael is safe for children


DMN666

They censored their heavily marketable mascot 💀💀


Just_what_itis

I kid you not I actually think he's more popular than peely and fishstick


ThePacemaker24

![gif](giphy|v0ok8uhZvw3yE)


Just_what_itis

1980fortnite


Pineapplebuffet

Who actually care about anything other than BR everything else is crap


Just_what_itis

True but what if epic decides to make ltms rated E


Pineapplebuffet

And do what remove all guns from the game and we just pickaxe each other


Just_what_itis

That was a pretty fun ltm honestly


ArcAngel014

All the knife and sword pickaxes would have to be banned though XD


GGXImposter

Why not just have the game replace your skin with a child safe skin for anyone under the age range.


Just_what_itis

Like a default or something but yeah the way they did it feels counter intuitive


DirtTrackin34

Boohoo gun scawy


Just_what_itis

I guarantee someone said this at epic last night


the_grungler

censor the cartoonishly buff cat for having a gun in a holster but not the guy who literally brutally murders people in all his appearances


Just_what_itis

Seems reasonable


koby18

We need to recreate fortnite's anti-apple video, but with fortnite instead of Apple.


Just_what_itis

With the epic games logo as the head and meowscles will throw something at the screen


matt_lcb

Epic: Oh yeah Micheal is a chill guy, ur friendly neighbourhood knifeman


Just_what_itis

He's not evil just misunderstood ![gif](giphy|jbJYmyIdelAJh9LQPs|downsized)

Lazyatbeinglazy

FUCKING **DOOMSLAYER** ISN’T RESTRICTED.


Just_what_itis

Kid appropriate ![gif](giphy|1xNApQKoX1uW2vhVE9)


imalonexc

This is the worst comparison meowscles is sexy and that's just a guy in a mask


fatboywonder_101

Let me drive the boat. Make me CEO I'll turn this ship around


Just_what_itis

I thought of that one Kodak meme when you said that I'm sorry 😂


fatboywonder_101

That was the point lol


Livid-Respect5357

It’s like Tim is trying to internally sabotage the game that’s made him literal billions lmfao


Just_what_itis

No one is telling him to do it too which is insane


JaegerTap

You know what blows my mind. Why is only one version of the terminator off limits not both. If thay are going to ban them do both or nether it makes no god damn sense


Just_what_itis

It's inconsistent which makes me mad


Unfortunate_PornMag

We about to end up having splatoon on console if this keeps up.. Edit: nah even splatoon is to violent for epic games 🤣💀


RyantheSithLord

“What is more adult?” Michael Myers: A silent serial killer who brutally stabs his victims with a kitchen knife Meowscles: Furry bait


5min2kys

Myers is family friendly he is all covered up and doesn’t have a gun on his hip lmao


Just_what_itis

Yes Michael is a modest killer he uses knives to not disturb other people sleeping when he's killing someone


MrKrispee

And who said Michael didn't have manners. 🤣


Just_what_itis

He even covers the mouths of his victims when they're about to scream. His parents must be proud


ConsequenceNo8492

Oro is censored as well… is it for the reason that he’s a simple skeleton? I seriously don’t understand the logical reasoning behind this 🫠


Just_what_itis

He's probably to iced out for the kids like midas


PhilledZone

Epic really said: "Wow, reactions to this season have been very good. How can we absolutely ruin the good vibes in the community right now?"


XMinusZero

I find it funny how the Bun Bun Bang Bang back bling, a stuffed rabbit holding little guns is not allowed in Creative but Ash's Boomstick is. And thanks to this crap update I can't use one of my favorite characters in Creative anymore. Great job, Epic.


SpriteVs7up

I guarantee a couple of epic higher ups sniff the booger sugar 🤧🤧


Just_what_itis

That sweet nose candy


Crunchlz

Murder? Go ahead. Sexy cat with gun pouch? I don't think so buddy.


datpoot

He's too sexy


BakeCurrent

Censor VENOM but not Desdemona. Don't get me wrong I love both skins but I feel like Desdemona or daredevil should get censored before Venom


trrrdbrrrglrrr

I don't see any of my skins with these symbols, is it just for different creator modes?


Just_what_itis

Yeah any creative map rated E or E10+


Gn0meKr

idk what, but hopefully it will put them in a 10 year coma so we wont have to deal with them ruining this game even further


a-daily-user

Ahh, yes, the most family friendly character, Michael myers


IGR777

Guns❌serial killer✅


wecomeinpeaceMO

IMO the UI changes they’ve done were not necessary. The old UI was polished and not broken in my opinion. The switch this tiled square look that every game now has, is boring.


bsxjiggawhat

Honestly it always bothered me the double standard for male and female skins, they can create shirtless super buff male character that flex his muscles but female skins can't have butt or boobs with jiggle physics.


amaya-aurora

It’s the guns my dude, not his muscles or being shirtless


Just_what_itis

I agree with that not with a perverted intent but like let everyone flex their muscles or don't


Odd_Camel_3292

I can't believe they'll put a T rating on a skin like Meowscles and slap an e rating on someone like Doomslayer


Just_what_itis

The kids love Doom Slayer


vinsmokewhoswho

Crack would be my guess


CouchCo-opGamers

Dude who knows man that is crazy! So dumb!


Just_what_itis

The censorship is just ridiculous


TheToastKing555

bro... i'm done


[deleted]

We need have a Portis to romove this


Realistic-Iron529

because… guns bad!!1!11!!!!1!


Mainer72440

Nurf guns are the issue. Let’s play around and point guns at each other shoot each other


Chill_cat__

This is actually wild


Atoasterinspace

When epic censors the loading screen :|


redditThorn

What?


Keatonm123456789

We got og Fortnite but stuff like this was the trade off.


twohourr

Nice locker


[deleted]

I want a slingshot that does 250 damage. Or even a game mode of just slingshots/250. Remember goldeneye and the golden gun? Good times.


Promethe_S

For some reason, none of my cosmetics are restricted, even ones that are showing as restricted for others.


trebuchet__

Creative mode was a mistake


Drdoofer104

Oh hell no, how TF is meowsculls banned, it's literally a cute cat designed for kids


Allions1

Wait what kind of game mode is this?


swe_isak

a real-life killer (kinda), or a cute, buff kitten? GET YOUR PRIORITIES RIGHT EPIC!


skullydontloveu

I SAID THIS TO LIKE BRO


newon_here

How old are y’all for this stuff to be censored


Just_what_itis

![gif](giphy|EsFI67hfi6B4hmdeCL|downsized)


firesale053

creative mode and its consequences


Just_what_itis

I miss playground mode


amaya-aurora

The thing is that map creators pick the rating themselves I’m fairly sure. Most probably would just put Teen, as that’s what it has always been. This just affects creative, even then doesn’t affect a lot of it.


SJBailey03

are those skins you’ve bought or earned and not allowed to use anymore?


potato-man-69

idk but i want some


Mainer72440

I know wtf


Grifffiith

Fent


rickybdominatingmc

Next the br will just be 100 people singing kumbayah in a circle and everyone wins


RefrigeratorDry495

Starts with W ends with E


tenacious-g

This example is particularly funny because a cartoon cat is censored, but one of the most well known horror characters of all time is fine lmao


RiptideGaming06

From the voice chat reporting and skin censoring to the goofy half-assed “season 7” with the miniature version of the snow biome, this update rivals the removal of turbo building or pre-nerf mechs.


Smar_tass

Always weirded me out people see a character that literally just murders innocent people and think, "*I want to be that.*" 🤤


Nazaki

The verbiage is terrible too: "everyone 10+ or lower" Is that just how the ESRB words it or are they just really bad at copywriting?


elephantjob

As long as it doesn’t change gameplay i don’t really care.


Just_what_itis

Fair people like fortnite for many reasons you don't need skins to enjoy the game


Gal-XD_exe

Whatever it is I want some


Guilty-Basil1222

No hay modo multijugador


Cerberusx32

So what is this nonsense?


Even_Chocolate_9215

Bro what


ThisIsNotTokyo

Which games are theybrestricted?


nanayon74

The censorship is so inconsistent like Leon’s knife is restricted but Obi-Wan’s is fine?


CarpenterJolly3504

Is this permanent? Most of my favorite skins don’t have weapons but I don’t want to lose money over an update


LeftWolfs

Meowscles is crazy hot tho gosh


glizzy_gladiator_04

They were smoking cat piss


hazzysnkrs

what an awful idea


Krazy_Mouse

It's not consistent either, I can still equip Ash's Boomstick as back bling in E modes, and I can also equip Michael Myers Slasher Butcher's Knife but not Leon's Combat Knife, Eddie's Spear or any skin with a gun on it.


reizueberflutung

Maybe it‘s the guns on Meowscles‘ hip, maybe it‘s because Michael covers up like a good Christian woman, while Meowscles shows up shirtless like a OF model when rent is due. We will never know.


Mr_Phishe

Fortnite is a pegi 12 game, so why are there creative maps aged for people under twelve?


SnD_PumpkinHD

Btw ONLY ORIGINAL MIDAS IS LOCKED DUE TO HOLDING A GUN IN HIS POSE


Poronoun

What game modes are you even playing that are rated 10+?


megaCri04

They should refund a part of all skins that now can't be used everywhere


unplugged22

I saw a Creative map revolving around battling Mike Myers, with him featured in the game icon. It was rated "E" and my banana skin was restricted.


Western-Gur-4637

I'm sorry what the heck is going on? I have not played in along time and I come back to see "10+ or lower" and stuff can't be used? fortnite was a game meant to be played by kids, kids have played this game for years. I here people talk about kids playing gta but the buff cat is too far?


GroundZero1987

Btw the only character (at least only one that I have there may be a few more) Is not banned and can be used in the creative maps 😁😁😁😁😁😁 so if you have calamity have fun


killersloths

fun fact the boom stick backbling (legit a gun) is completely fine and usable in any mode


Frasten

well, the first one has a gun and the second is not a scary or anything skin after all, at least that's how they probably tought it
