think abt it. every fortnite skin is basically a caricature of the ideal human. square jawlines, broad shoulders, wide frames, perfect symmetry. the women skins? tiny waists, long legs, flawless faces. epic games didn’t just sell cosmetics—they sold status.
if you were rocking default jonesy, you weren’t just underdressed, you were socially invisible. but if you had skull trooper, renegade raider, or galaxy? you weren’t even playing the same game. you had the genetic lottery of the lobby.
it’s wild bc the blackpill is literally about “some ppl just look better, and nothing u do can change that.” fortnite was teaching us this when we were 12. you could be cracked at building, but if someone pulled up with the aura skin and a sharper jawline than giga chad himself, the lobby already assumed you were the alpha.
you don’t choose your fate. you can grind, practice builds, master edits—doesn’t matter. you land, and if some kid in a galaxy skin is already stacked with purple pump + 1000 mats, ur done. the game was never equal.
epic lowkey created a visual hierarchy: the better the skin, the closer you were to the chad archetype. it wasn’t just pixels—it was social darwinism in 1080p.
and then rng loot sealed the deal. grey pistol vs golden scar? that’s just genetic luck IRL.
fortnite wasn’t a game… it was the blackpill simulator. we just didn’t have the words for it yet.
