Fortnite players baffled by censorship of Eminem songs in-game Epic GamesFortnite players call out censorship of Eminem songs on the in-game radio, specifically for \u201cbutchering\u201d the rapper\u2019s lyrics. Eminem will officially make his Fortnite debut on Wednesday, November 29, with a skin that sports three of the hip-hop artist\u2019s iconic looks. The rapper\u2019s also set to head up Fortnite Big Bang, a live event marking the end of Season OG on Tuesday, December 2. In celebrating the upcoming crossover, it seems Epic has reinstated some Eminem tracks to the in-game Icon Radio catalog. To the chagrin of players, though, Em\u2019s bars are heavily censored, some to a hilarious degree. Fortnite fans wish radio censorship was an option for Eminem songs Fortnite-centric Twitter\/X account iFireMonkey pointed out that Em\u2019s return to the in-game radio involves lots of censorship. The users shared a short clip wherein Eminem\u2019s \u2018Godzilla\u2019 song featuring Juice WRLD plays in the background. Of course, some of the rapper\u2019s more colorful language had to be nixed. Thus, a lyric like \u201cMotherf*****n\u2019 finger\u2026\u201d comes out as \u201cfinger, finger.\u201d But the real problem arises with the \u201cprostate exam\u201d lyric that follows the aforementioned line. Apparently, the word \u201cprostate\u201d isn\u2019t allowed on Fortnite radio stations. So this bit of \u2018Godzilla\u2019 in Fortnite sounds like, \u201cfinger, finger\u2026 exam (exam).\u201d Suffice it to say, Fortnite players are getting a kick out of Fortnite\u2019s need to censor Eminem songs. Yet, many mention in response to the above post that it\u2019d be nice if Epic gave players an option. \u201cThey gotta make censorship optional,\u201d reads one comment. \u201cNAH THEY BUTCHERED THE SONG (I understand it\u2019s necessary for lil Timmy but please make censoring optional),\u201d someone else wrote. Another person argued that only accounts for underage users should be restricted in this manner. \u201cJust like the cosmetics, music censoring should only be for underage accounts.\u201d While the latter suggestion sounds promising, things could get tricky with respect to previously established game rating parameters. Fortnite players looking to get their Slim Shady fix in-game may want to look up the actual tracks on their own time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
