Welcome to Fortnite, Doja Cat! Wait…WAIT! NOT LIKE THAT! STOP!
For those who’ve heard nearly any Doja Cat music she’s remodeled the previous 10 years or so, you’ll know that she typically sings about suggestive or straight up grownup content material. And in case you comply with her on social media, you’ll additionally know that she’s fairly a little bit of an edgelord and shit-poster. And so ought to anybody be actually shocked that her Fortnite X/Twitter account takeover simply went this manner?
I screenshotted the posts above since they have been fairly swiftly deleted, the place Doja (or somebody posing as her to market her look in Fortnitemares tomorrow) posted “Mom of rose toys” adopted by a bunch of rose emojis.
Her precise character’s identify within the recreation is Mom of Thorns, so it seems she was riffing off of that. However, oh boy. A “Rose toy” is, to place it bluntly and succinctly, a model of grownup intercourse toys. And, yeah, I don’t assume the account takeover was supposed for use like this.
Doja Cat was rapidly within the replies on her personal account, saying “shit cringe as fuck now I’m embarrassed” and claiming “I informed them to not man that’s not even me,” and that she “stated this yesterday after which stated ‘don’t put up that.’” So, apparently there was some miscommunication, however it’s going to possible inadvertently result in some youthful players rapidly discovering out what a Rose toy is (the sport is rated T for Teen).
And in doing so, Doja revealed that it wasn’t truly her on the account, so the advertising and marketing stunt was simply an epic backfire all the way in which round. Her skins are sort of cool-looking, although, I suppose.
Despite this flub, Fortnitemares seems to be actually superior this 12 months. Together with the singer, it contains collabs with Scooby Doo, Friday the thirteenth, Terrifier, Black Masks, Poppy’s Playtime, and Scream, amongst others.
Hopefully Doja will stick with enjoying the sport as an alternative of posting for its accounts on-line any further.
