"tasteful"
Jump around and collect magic orbs to unlock portals into rooms with a couple of signs and a wall meant to represent a moment in civil rights history while looking like a rushed middle school diorama.
Then go over to the Naruto village and see a fully modeled and explorable setting with scenes accurately recreated from the show!
Which is a shame because the King family group (I forget what their specific name is) was the one who wanted it. Makes sense given that it seems like a lot of states are moving to not teach about him anymore, and that Fortnite is a massive vehicle to reach kids.
> Fortnite is a massive vehicle to reach kids.
Yeah, so it has become a slobbering marketing-fest for brand recognition. Putting MLK and his message on the same level as that isn't necessarily disrespectful, but it is a weird choice.
Hate it all you want, but the fact that you can have Naruto and Rick Sanchez dancing to Never Gonna Give You Up over a dying Ariana Grande shows that this is truly an unbeatable game
The cycle i went through with fortnite was "Fortnite is a fun game" to "I HATE FORTNITE SOOOO MUCH 😡😡😡" and finally "fortnite is funny as shit and I love it" and honestly? Thats beautiful
Just so everyone knows, this is real, it’s a new event that’s basically a virtual museum about MLK with some mingames and the I have a dream speech playing on loop
I mean.. I guess it's a semi-okay way to try and get kids interested in learning about something they might not have before via something they already like?
Yes, it’s a product of capitalism, free game??? Crazy, but then they make millions if not more back in skins and battle pass in game content.
Gaming today as a business model has become much more greedy through in game content and that in itself is a consequence of capitalism or just basic greed in it self.
Not saying capitalism is bad, but there is a lot to be improved, so the working class doesn’t get exploited beyond reason.
Still one of the best models, I’m Scandinavian so we have capitalism with great health care and systems that are built for the worker class.
As far as consequences of capitalism go, Fortnite is pretty good. It's a free game anyone can play, provided you have a smartphone and internet connection. You can buy cosmetics but they don't give you a competitive advantage, so you can enjoy the game 100% and not pay a dime.
The people who have spare cash and buy a ton of skins effectively fund the game for everyone. In this sense it is a form of wealth redistribution.
I think it was done with good intentions considering MLK's family group specifically requested it
And also this isn't really about money. The game is free and this event is free. If it were actually about the money they would've released an MLK skin in the game which would be hilarious and fucking terrible at the same time
I don't play Fortnite but if there's anything I love it's the amalgamation of "culture."
Fornite is this chimera of stuff and I'm honestly down for it.
God, they’re going to start doing this for everything now aren’t they? We’re going to see John Wick flossing at Auschwitz because they can’t think of a better way to teach things to kids.
Fortnight is stinky poop smelly doodoo dungwad absolutely fucking abysmal shit garbage stinky makes my eyebrows burn off and my gall bladder shit itself out of existence game.
Edit: You can't downvote me into oblivion since I'm already there.
the fucking font
They only have Roboto, Arial and a third one that I forgor 💀
burbank (fortnite font)
"Master chief, you mind telling me what you're doing in fortnite?" "Sir, I have a dream..."
"Sir, I'm cranking 90s in front of the MLK Memorial."
kono master chief from halo ni wa yume ga aru
I feel like this is gonna get lost in the sauce and not age well for what they were trying to do here lmao
From the instant it was released it was pretty universally viewed as tasteless. I'm sure it was well intentioned, but damn is it cursed af
[reminds of david guetta's tribute to george floyd](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5ZgEtgxxg0)
Worst part is it was actually very tasteful

Well yeah Naruto has lore
Can confirm, I ate the walls

I can't wait to be featured on the front page of r/AgainstHateSubreddits 😎
God, that sub
Is based. I'm subscribed and 95% of the time the shit they call out is either blatantly -phobic or an obvious dog-whistle.
sorry, I used to use some (pretty unbased) subs that hated it. Thankfully I stopped using them before I made my account.
>Is based. Tell that to r/BigChungus \>:(
Yeah but they got r/kill_her banned. Banned, I tell you! Just for its name!
there weren't drinking fountains like this :/
Fortnite is basically a pop culture bukkake at this point and honestly it’s beautiful
Hate it all you want, but the fact that you can have Naruto and Rick Sanchez dancing to Never Gonna Give You Up over a dying Ariana Grande shows that this is truly an unbeatable game

You can have Naruto be in a MLK museum, that's crazier than anything you wrote
Hopefully Goku will be able to join aswell
Naruto: damn racisim ise wack yo Master chef: Totally Rick from Rick and mortu: pickle
Rick is short for Richolas.
could've sworn i did that in a TF2 community server before
I saw people shooting swastikas into the walls with the medic's syringe gun. We must have been in vastly different servers.
nah, it was the same server it was just in a different area
You could play as master chief with Captain America's shield while watching a giant Ariana Grande.
my favorite pop culture, separate water fountains
And that's what they're aiming for.They stated multiple they trying to make a metaverse but cooler
I honestly want to see how chaotic it gets
The only vid I could find of that mlk thing had Master chief twerking next to him as he gave his speech
We did it, racism is now solved 😎
Just so everyone knows, this is real, it’s a new event that’s basically a virtual museum about MLK with some mingames and the I have a dream speech playing on loop
Segregation is canon is fortnite lore now
Holy shit they added racism to Fortnite??? (I have never played Fortnite)
Gamer words
Finally, an update worthy enough to get me back into Fortnite
if we're going by the Save The World mode's story, everything in history up to 2017 is canon
Technically just by making Marvel Canon they've validated that basically all of our history is canon
The protestant reformation is Fortnite canon.
Always has been 😎
Omg~ goblinhog
No goblinhog! Don't respond to the bot!
I do sure hope no one does the whipping emote
And I also sure hope they’ll be able to disable the emote and DC won’t say no
They actually **didn’t** do that when this first launched.
Exactly. Because they couldn’t disable all the emotes because of contracts
Do contracts require them to wait exactly 24 hours before disabling all emotes or something? That's what they did AFAIR.
*\*Equips popcorn emote\**
new? wasn't this a few months ago?
I think it was during summer.
it's a bot
If anyone doubts it, look at the usernames. It isn't a coincidence that "remarkable-advice" commented on "remarkable-code's" post
we're still in 2020.
Might've been reposted because the music from the event was recently made available to use in the lobby
This was months ago
not new this was ages ago
Shoutout to his family
Nah this is like months old, it came out in august
How can you actually have such horrendous taste
I mean.. I guess it's a semi-okay way to try and get kids interested in learning about something they might not have before via something they already like?
WHY is fortnite real
money
Capitalism and industrializing and it’s consequences to our society.
Fortnite is the opposite of a consequence
Yes, it’s a product of capitalism, free game??? Crazy, but then they make millions if not more back in skins and battle pass in game content. Gaming today as a business model has become much more greedy through in game content and that in itself is a consequence of capitalism or just basic greed in it self.

ok but what does that have to do with master chief in fortnite
I don’t have 95 theses on that sadly…
Bideo game‼️

Why are so many bots using Generic_Username_1111 now Are all the good usernames taken
I'm pretty sure this was my post, too. Same title
Capitalism breeds innovation
I wish capitalism would breed me

Goddammit it got fucky
Mlk came up and said ‘wubba ludda, dub dub’ Ending racism
Fun fact, they disabled emoting for this because so many people were doing the donkey laugh at this part.
I don't play Fortnite but if there's anything I love it's the amalgamation of "culture." Fornite is this chimera of stuff and I'm honestly down for it.
Was there ever forms of resistance where people took shits in the white fountains
r/AskHistorians
I did
God, they’re going to start doing this for everything now aren’t they? We’re going to see John Wick flossing at Auschwitz because they can’t think of a better way to teach things to kids.
Didn’t they disable emotes so people couldn’t Fortnite dance on the whites only fountains?
repost
Don’t forget sasuke
What the fuck is going on here?
The least the FBI could do is kill the game too
bot
Out of all the games to put this in why Fortnite?
Because it’s basically just a publicity stunt at this point. I still enjoy the game though [sorry :(]
Cause they epic
TIME magazine walked into Epic HQ, with 18$ and a half eaten sandwich and forced the devs to add this. (Time magazine created the actual event)
Fortnight is stinky poop smelly doodoo dungwad absolutely fucking abysmal shit garbage stinky makes my eyebrows burn off and my gall bladder shit itself out of existence game. Edit: You can't downvote me into oblivion since I'm already there.
Keep talking like that and i'll send u to fortnite land
Keep them in the loop forever 😈
What is with that crop tho
i thought this was r/banvideogames for a sec
Honestly, r/asablackman I appreciate the effort, but this is so fucked lmao.
And then he says "I turned myself into a pickle" most poignant shit I've ever seen
Can't wait for the Malcolm X version.
