The absence of guns from Harris' map sparked some social media criticism, with one X user posting: "Kamala Harris took away our guns in Fortnite."

    lmao I’m sorry I am 100% for gun regulation but this some big boomer energy and NOT the way to appeal to youth. If the intent is to say “Hey, we have no idea about what you are into but we are pretty sure we know better than you. Go to your room! No video games for a week!” then it’s probably working.

      It’s just absolutely bonkers that they’re using a gun game to campaign while disallowing gun use. You may as well partner with the NFL and then ban tackling, or host a Monopoly game while banning money.

      And I don’t think gun control is even a campaign promise. Just shows either lack of forethought or lack of understanding from their campaign

      Us Millennials and GenXers are old now. :P Fortnight used to be a kids game, because GenZ were still kids. Now they’re adults, and Fortnite ain’t a GenAlpha game.

    Man that is hilarious. I’m full on liberal don’t worry, but I’ll always think it’s funny when politicians try to get down with the kids. It always ends so terribly. Just… Stock to issues they care about, okay?
