Doja Cat is coming to Fortnite\u2019s 2025 Halloween event<\/a> and the battle royale tried to get players hyped by letting R&B\u2019s \u201cQueen of Memes\u201d take over the Fortnite X account on Wednesday. It didn\u2019t take long for that piece of online performance art to blow up after the account tweeted what seemed like an obvious allusion to sex toys and Doja Cat denied being behind it. \u201cShit cringe as fuck now I\u2019m embarrassed,\u201d she wrote back.<\/p>\n

The Fortnite X account had Doja Cat\u2019s in-game face as its avatar when it posted \u201cmother of rose toys,\u201d which many fans immediately took to mean sex toys. \u201cOh damn the sex update is real!!\u201d one joked on the subreddit<\/a>. But Doja Cat immediately distanced herself from the whole thing and the post was taken down. People didn\u2019t believe her at first. \u201cI told them not to man that\u2019s not even me,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI said this yesterday and then said \u2018don\u2019t post that\u2019 :\/.\u201d<\/p>\n

The internet-savvy artist has a history of trolling and back-handed marketing endorsements, as Polygon points out<\/a>. So many are left wondering whether this was an actual brand activation gone bad or part of some elaborate 4D poster chess to get people talking and arguing about what is, at the end of the day, a microtransaction-filled in-game event aimed at getting players to empty their virtual wallets on overpriced skins. Is the modern media landscape so cynical as to desperately gin up a non-troversy just to pad the quarterly sales figures?<\/p>\n

Some folks are genuinely surprised that a game largely aimed at children would go anywhere near sexual entendres, even if the whole thing really is just a social media fake-out on page seven of the Fortnite Halloween 2025 marketing deck. With the culture already primed to lash out at any online gaming-adjacent micro-scandal, it does seem a bit far-fetched that Epic Games would willingly ignite a whole discourse cycle around \u201cFortnite sex toys.\u201d<\/p>\n

After all, it only just got done making sure there weren\u2019t any accidental Nazi allusions in its latest Peacemaker emote<\/a> following some late season-2 twists. It\u2019s due back tomorrow with a \u201cmodified\u201d animation that will apparently remove any possibility of it accidentally conjuring a swastika. Then again, Epic didn\u2019t seem too worried about Darth Vader, voiced by AI James Earl Jones, saying racist stuff and cursing at players,<\/a> so who can say?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Doja Cat is coming to Fortnite\u2019s 2025 Halloween event and the battle royale tried to get players hyped…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":210785,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[71061,120377,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-210784","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-doja-cat","9":"tag-fortnite","10":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210784","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210784"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210784\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210785"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
