Welcome to Fortnite, Doja Cat! Wait...WAIT! NOT LIKE THAT! STOP!
If you've heard just about any Doja Cat song she's made over the past 10 years or so, you'll know that she often sings about suggestive or straight-up adult content. And if you follow her on social media, you'll also know that she's quite a bit of an edgelord and shit-poster. And so should anyone be really shocked that her Fortnite X/Twitter account takeover just went this way?
I screenshotted the posts above since they were pretty swiftly deleted, where Doja (or someone posing as her to market her appearance in Fortnitemares tomorrow) posted "Mother of rose toys" followed by a bunch of rose emojis.
Her actual character's name in the game is Mother of Thorns, so it appears she was riffing off of that. But, oh boy. A "Rose toy" is, to put it bluntly and succinctly, a brand of adult sex toys. And, yeah, I don't think the account takeover was supposed to be used like this.
Doja Cat was quickly in the replies on her own account, saying "shit cringe as fuck now I'm embarrassed" and claiming "I told them not to man that's not even me," and that she "said this yesterday and then said 'don't post that.'" So, apparently, there was some miscommunication, but it will likely inadvertently lead to some younger gamers quickly finding out what a Rose toy is (the game is rated T for Teen).
And in doing so, Doja revealed that it wasn't actually her on the account, so the marketing stunt was just an epic backfire all the way around. Her skins are kind of cool-looking, though, I suppose.
In spite of this flub, Fortnitemares looks really awesome this year. Along with the singer, it includes collabs with Scooby Doo, Friday the 13th, Terrifier, Black Mask, Poppy's Playtime, and Scream, among others.
Hopefully, Doja will stick to playing the game instead of posting for its accounts online from now on.
