Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 has begun, introducing new areas, skins, and weapons to unlock. One of many skins, Metallic Gear Stable’s Snake, is buried deep inside this season’s battle cross, and whereas people are determining unlock the bonus beauty, it appears everybody’s bummed by his newfound lack of cake.
Stable Snake, the first protagonist of most of the Metallic Gear Stable video games, has discovered himself in crossovers earlier than Fortnite. He briefly appeared within the action-platformer Ape Escape 3, the sports activities sport Evolution Skateboarding, and numerous fighters, together with DreamMix TV World Fighters and the Tremendous Smash Bros. collection. Whereas he usually maintained the identical look throughout the video games he cameoed in, one factor did change with every time Stable Snake confirmed up: the plumpness of his buttocks. His posterior is generally fairly outstanding, what with the quantity of leaping and crawling he does out on the sphere, however Tremendous Smash Bros Final decimated his cheeks, leaving people unhappy that his ass was flat. Now the identical factor’s occurred in Fortnite.
Snake’s ass has been nerfed, once more
Of us took to the web, from TikTok to Reddit to Twitter, to share their grief over developer Epic Video games totally “de-cakeifying” Stable Snake in Fortnite. You’d suppose somebody simply died with the extent of unhappiness that’s everywhere in the timeline, as folks put up about how the previous spy has zero, ahem, property. It’s truly fairly tragic.
The frequent sentiment from posters on-line, it appears, is that Epic Video games—or Fortnite—hates male ass because the sport flattened Omni-Man’s butt, in addition to these of a number of different in-game character skins, together with Captain America and Doomguy.
“Fortnite nerfed Snake’s ass,” twitter person AttackOnCoffee wrote. “This can be a crime.”
“Screaming and yelling and throwing up as a result of they gave fortnite stable snake a flat ass which is deeply antithetical to the whole lot hideo kojima stands for,” tweeted slayerfest1999. “Disgusting.”
“Snake has no ass,” stated JupiterJepsen on X/Twitter. “Rip.”
As you possibly can see, Stable Snake’s obtained some flat muffins, which is kind of contradictory while you take a look at what he had in, say, Metallic Gear Stable 4: Weapons of the Patriots. The truth is, a meme that’s been floating round for just a few years now sees our former spy making numerous noise whereas sneaking round a warehouse as a result of he’s “dummy thicc,” referring to his substantive cheeks. Voice actor David Hayter even obtained in on the enjoyable, lending his iconic pipes to ship probably the greatest traces in gaming. It’s a disgrace, then, that Epic Video games will not be honoring the character’s leg-assy—I imply, legacy in Fortnite.
