Wait, so Epic hit the panic button, right? They were like, “Bam! Here’s your hotfix for Fortnite, because mistakes? Not our thing.” But let’s be real—players are gonna see how far they can stretch this VAIder dude. I mean, it’s like a digital tug-of-war with a Jedi. Or was he a Sith? Whatever.
Anyway, some streamer—I think LoserFruit—springs to mind. She’s not just any player. She’s like, in the game with a skin. How wild is that? So she goes, “Darth, what’s up with the menu today?” And boom, Darth’s all, “Could you, like, not be so… thug-like?” It cracked me up more than it should have.
And oh boy, things hit a nerve when AI Darth dropped a term you don’t want to hear at parties. Epic jumps in like, “Whoa, Darth—chill. We fixed him, promise.” But then there’s Darth blissfully mumbling “Skibidi Toilets” and honestly, who can be mad about it?
As if it wasn’t enough, players are pulling Bart Simpson-style pranks. Heard one where Darth’s like, “Dixie Normus?”—I laughed, probably too much.
Epic has this checklist, like, if you’re under 13 you need a virtual note from mom to chat up Vader. He tries his best not to get baited, though if you push his buttons too much, he’s yeeting out of there. No more squad hangouts for you.
So yeah, minus the slurs (obviously), it’s just this mad circus with players teasing the dark lord. Wild times in gaming.
