"One thing I love about this job is learning something new about games I do not play. That includes learning that Fortnite has historically either obscured or omitted male nipples in its various skins. Until now, that is. Homer Simpson was the first man to free the nipple last month , and now new character Carter Wu is getting a skin that lets him bare it all."
"As IGN lays out, has featured several shirtless skins of both fictional characters and real-world figures, but each of them has either covered up their chest, like putting a pelt on Kratos from , or just not rendering their nipples, like rapper Travis Scott or wrestler/actor John Cena. This is odd, but not unheard of. Some anime or anime-inspired series like or do the same thing. However, after Homer and now Carter Wu have been added to with nipples intact, it seems like Epic Games might have changed whatever internal rules it had about depicting male anatomy in the game."
Fortnite historically obscured or omitted male nipples on many shirtless skins. Examples include chest coverings like Kratos's pelt and unrendered nipples for Travis Scott and John Cena. Homer Simpson became the first male character to display nipples last month, and Carter Wu now has a skin that also displays male nipples. The changes suggest Epic Games may have relaxed internal rules about depicting male anatomy. With thousands of skins already in the game, retroactively altering all prior models is unlikely. Future skins may therefore preserve male nipples more frequently. Fortnite also faces scrutiny over generative AI and Epic CEO Tim Sweeney resisted AI-disclosure rules.
