Fortnite, Epic’s free-to-play on-line battle royale, is among the greatest video games on this planet and accommodates a few of the most well-known characters in popular culture, together with Spider-Man, Batman, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Goku, and Darth Vader. However now, it’s time to say hiya to the 2 best fictional characters to hop into Fortnite: a sentient pile of Nike merchandise within the obscure form of a human and a girl who seems to be made fully out of semen.
Within the wake of final week’s leak, Nike officially announced on Tuesday that it has constructed (or extra precisely employed somebody to construct) an enormous Nike-themed world inside Epic’s widespread battle royale recreation. And as a part of this collaboration between Nike and Fortnite, the sport is including new gadgets and character skins. And uh…they’re a bit unusual, which is saying lots contemplating a few of the previous characters which have appeared in Fortnite, together with Ninja (the streamer) and a unadorned model of Peely the banana. However these new Nike collab characters are even weirder than that.
For instance, one of them is a man covered in (or made up entirely of) sneakers, tennis balls, water bottles, and different sports-related gadgets. Fairly bizarre stuff! I assume this man squeaks lots when he runs round.
The opposite new character is a girl made out of…air? Or possibly rubber, like what you discover in a Nike shoe? Nicely, that’s what Nike was intending with this all-white in-game pores and skin. However as an alternative, the web has latched onto the concept that this girl is definitely a sentient being product of cum. I’m simply reporting on this of us, don’t yell at me.
Additionally, and I shouldn’t must say this, however be very cautious about the place you’re should you begin trying to find “cum Fortnite” on Twitter…
If you happen to go searching Twitter and such, you’ll rapidly uncover that a variety of gamers are reacting to this character in a approach that I think about Nike didn’t anticipate or need. A whole lot of tweets are suggesting that is the primary cum-person in Fortnite (in all probability true) or are asking if the semen woman is actual and harmful. Actually, a lot of the on-line convo across the Nike cum woman is folks logging on to Twitter, seeing tweets about it, scoffing on the thought, wanting up a picture of the brand new character, and realizing it’s worse than they anticipated.
I ponder if the folks at Nike who needed to be extra artistic with this crossover—not simply tossing some Nike shirts and sneakers into the sport and calling it a day—are beginning to remorse their determination.
