The world of Fortnite has taken the internet by storm, with its community constantly comparing real-world outfits to those found in the game. While the comparisons are sometimes awe-inspiring, other times, they tend to become the butt of a joke. One such incident occurred on June 22, 2023, wherein Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, were spotted and photographed in Japan. Suffice it to say their outfits caught the game community’s attention.
The original post on Twitter, by user Ovrnundr, shows the couple posing for the paparazzi while sitting down. In the image, Kanye can be seen wearing what appears to be a t-shirt and track pants, while his wife seems to be wearing a red jumpsuit. While this may be in-trend fashion apparel, the Fortnite community has seen them as Uncommon Outfits.
After the tweet was reshared by ComicaIBigSpoon, fans wasted no time trolling the couple’s picture. While some spoke their mind and typed out contextual references to their outfits, others shared images that reference what they had on.
One user compared the jumpsuit worn by Bianca Censori to the superhero outfits available in-game. Another user stated that she looks like the Evil Scientist (Olivia Pierce) from Doom 2016. The trolling continued, with one user comparing Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s outfits to the now-banned Balenciaga outfits. Another user compared them to Knockout and Dynamo Dancer.
Despite the overwhelming trolling and somewhat negative comments, Kanye West and Bianca Censori have yet to respond to them. However, given that they are not associated with Fortnite or Epic Games in any way, that seems unlikely. On a side note, any chance of a collaboration with the rapper appears unlikely.
Given the controversial statements made by Kanye West in the past, Epic Games will likely not risk being associated with him. Nevertheless, since he was spotted wearing what looks like an Uncommon Outfit, players can pretend it is Kanye West and use it in-game. If enough players do so, the trend should catch on in Fortnite.
In conclusion, the Fortnite community takes fashion very seriously, and anything or anyone that appears remotely similar to the game’s characters and outfits is bound to get trolled. Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s outfits were no exception. While they may not have responded to the trolling yet, it is highly unlikely that they will collaborate with Epic Games in the future. Nevertheless, the internet will continue to compare real-world outfits to those found in the popular game.
