One factor I really like about this job is studying one thing new about video games I don’t play. That features studying that Fortnite has traditionally both obscured or omitted male nipples in its varied skins. Till now, that’s. Homer Simpson was the primary man to free the nipple final month, and now new character Carter Wu is getting a pores and skin that lets him naked all of it.
As IGN lays out, Fortnite has featured a number of shirtless skins of each fictional characters and real-world figures, however every of them has both coated up their chest, like placing a pelt on Kratos from God of Warfare, or simply not rendering their nipples, like rapper Travis Scott or wrestler/actor John Cena.Â
That is odd, however not extraordinary. Some anime or anime-inspired sequence like Free! or Persona do the identical factor. Nonetheless, after Homer and now Carter Wu have been added to Fortnite with nipples intact, it looks like Epic Video games may need modified no matter inner guidelines it had about depicting male anatomy within the sport.
Fortnite has hundreds of skins, so I don’t suppose there’s an opportunity in Hell that Epic goes again and rectifies this for each shirtless man it’s ever rendered, however possibly because of this future skins gained’t disguise or take away male nipples transferring ahead.
In different Fortnite information, the crossover battle royale is the most recent sport to be caught within the generative AI witch hunt. This hasn’t been helped by Epic Video games’ CEO Tim Sweeney ranting and raving about how builders shouldn’t should disclose using AI to create in-game belongings.
