Those tomatoes weren’t from a vending machine. They were a Battle pass Toy emote where you could either through a normal tomato or a tomato head tomato. You can buy paint launchers in party Royale though so maybe you got confused.
No wrong in party royale you can get the tomatos throwing in the vending maschine yes there emote is an emote but item is throwable in a vending machine so youre right and wrong
Fear of the woke mob, which was going nuts at the time. There was literally riots in 75 cities and Twitter wasn't owned by Musk yet, so the cancel mob had all the power. Epic responded by releasing a statement denouncing police, removing cop cars, doing this MLK thing and airing a super racist podcast with Jamele Hill at Risky Reels. It was crazy how much Epic bent the knee.
They wanted to avoid possible "controversy" just for having cop cars in the game, so they took em all out. Even from creative mode. We still dont have them back either... Epic are cowards.
4:57 I remember watching that event that felt more like an advertisement for that stupid Epic Games messaging app than a way to raise awareness among players
I was just confused. Like, MLK is base level grade school history stuff. Stuff that I'm sure kids see multiple times every year, especially during black history month. I'm all for equal rights, but we already have equal rights. I guess it doesn't hurt to honor the man, as he did great things. Just felt out of place in a video game.
Honestly yeah, the "don't put politics in video games" argument actually works here. Usually, people only say that when they get mad that there's minorities in their game.
@@pestrusiariopaezmengoso2868 I definitely think there's a difference between a character who happens to be a minority being in a character roster and a museum of real-life history in a game. You will definitely encounter a wide range of races on your local soccer team with the chance of a gay person in there too, however it wouldn't make sense if your soccer team met up on weekly soccer practice but instead of playing soccer you went to the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Imagery. That's what the difference feels like.
Who gets mad about minorities in games? Minorities have been in games for as long as we've had games. No. What people get mad about is when white characters get retconned for black or LGBTQ characters. DEI stuff is what triggers people, and rightfully so. And yes, politics should stay out of games. That goes for right or left politics. Just make fun games without messaging.
I remember joining with my main skin at the time, doing the activities and stuff, chilling because I wanted a spray. I was a big hotdog though and sat with Morty Smith, they didn't consider even for a second how skins could be wildly inappropriate for the situation, even unintentionally. Also I remember it took a hot second for them to do anything I don't remember it being very fast with the emotes and skins being disabled too.
I'd bet 90% of the kids using these emotes aren't even racist. They're just using edglord humor or dark humor. Yet people will take this and say "yup, look at all teh r8zizm, tis proovs we need more politics in teh game". Do I approve of these emotes in that context? Not at all. I'm just tired of the victim olympics.
its not even necessarily putting politics in games, since people can easily just not attend these events and play the normal game. the problem is that these companies dont take enough action to stop people from being intolerant.
Yep I would have done the same thing: troll just to make people mad. We go to games to escape, just like you said, not to listen to propaganda or politics
-And lets not forget the most recent one... The creative map made for Kamala harris a FEW DAYS before the election!! -The map was called "Freedom Town USA" which is Ironic because anyone whos been Truly keeping up with politics knows Harris/biden were actively trying to take our freedoms away. -It was clearly desperation for trying to gain votes by pushing that in fortnite, kids on this game arent even old enough to vote anyway. -The map was taken down after the election but I played it before it was gone. The goal was to "Rebuild America" (which is also ironic if youve been following their politcal activities) where you were given tasks to do around the city. You were basically a construction worker. There were no free rewards of any kind. Just a lot of XP. As a map maker myself, I will say The map itself was pretty well made. But very few people played it. At most I would see 18 people playing it, Max. -It was just a Campaign Ad Map. It was VERY under the radar. Theres an official trailer for it and everything. I dont even know if theres gameplay footage of it from anybody because it was so secret... I did take vids & screenshots of it though. But yeah ... this among the BLM in party royale, MLK creative map, the army recruitment ad & map, Rainbow royale gay pride maps, I wonder what they'll do next...
Your ill informed. Where do you get your info? Did you know Trump wanted to terminate the constitution because he lost in 2020. But hes a leader right?
-ok? Don’t really see how that’s a problem. It’s just some random creative map Epic didn’t promote unlike the MLK one. -Take away what rights? Please give me some examples. -Yeah so what’s the problem? If they can’t even vote then why is it an issue? -Ironic how? And yeah if no one played it then it seems like even less of an issue. -the only official trailer I saw was from ign. Fortnite and epic didn’t do anything to promote it for obvious reasons.
@@jsrausch22 -It wasnt a massive problem but it was unnecessary, because like you mentioned very few people played it, meaning it got very little attention. And because of that it seemed like a wasted effort, which is why I say it was unnecessary. -They are actively trampling over peoples 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Its no secret. Theyve been doing it since 2020. The footage, stories, and evidence is all out there. Usually people who arent aware of this happening are the ones not paying attention. Its difficult to sway people at this point because for me to convince 1 single individual, I would have to send them ridiculous amounts of videos & links. And sometimes even thats not enough, depending on the person. -Yes you are correct, it was only Ign who mentioned it. Epic wouldnt dare promote it for fear of backlash. Would make them look bad.
5:25 this is just a bad take, cause i feel like "Hey guys dont be racist" is smth thst dosent need to get the "gamers want escapism" treatment And saying "escapism" just becomes a reason for people to complain about minoroties in there game
@pestrusiariopaezmengoso2868 bro one of ur comments was saying that guy being racist was "COOL"........... grow up The event was also just flat out SKIPPABLE CREATIVE MAP THST NOBODY EVEN NEEDED TO TAKE PART OFF

there was a lot of racist violence across police officers and black ppl at the time
it was definitely for a reason.
They wanted to avoid possible "controversy" just for having cop cars in the game, so they took em all out. Even from creative mode. We still dont have them back either... Epic are cowards.
