The online shooter Fortnite has become a kind of melting pot of contemporary pop culture. The result is bizarre situations where, for example, a predator, Scooby Doo and a humanoid banana dance the macarena at a virtual Metallica concert.
The Cybertruck is mocked about as much as the Fiat Multipla. To a large extent, this is due to an aversion to Elon Musk.
In order to keep the attention of fans (and high income), developers have to keep adding new and new things, some of which are logically more popular and some less. The newly released Cybertruck model from Tesla belongs to the latter category.
The futuristic-looking pick-up is also a target of ridicule in the real world, whether for its minimalist design or Tesla’s unconventional founder Elon Musk. Cybertruck polarizes society in a similar way to Apple products, some will not tolerate them, for others they are just a symbol of superficiality and a waste of money.
In addition to Fortnite, Cybertruck is also in Rocket League.
While the Cybertruck in Fortnite is free and completely optional to use, there are many who find its mere presence annoying. “It’s an unwritten rule among a lot of players that once they see someone in a cybertruck, they’ll do anything to send them back to the lobby. It is your civic duty to follow this code of honor,” pathetically called one of the users of the X social network to hunt down their users. And he certainly wasn’t the only one. More rational players point out that the use of the cybertruck in the game is also problematic because its huge windshield makes passengers an easier target.
At the same time, it is not just the opinion of an anonymous group from the crowd, even some of Epic’s employees are calling for a boycott. For example, the game’s producer Robby Williams invited players to destroy it when they met and added the telltale raised middle finger, his colleague Kyle Wrenn went even further, calling the car fucking ridiculous and calling Musk a scumbag.
But Fiat must be happy, it seems that the most despised car in the world is no longer their Multipla.
