I bet everyone has pretended to be the opposite sex online. Maybe just for the giggles. But anyone who does that all the time, straight to hell.

I never have on purpose, but in games i like to play as female characters. This was very useful in runescape back in the mid-2000s. Desperate guys would just asume you were a girl IRL and give you free shit asking to be your boyfriend.

I got a load of grief for playing Fortnite as Penny, mainly from a family friend who kept banging on about "oh look, that's his type there!" or "like a buxom blonde, do you?"

I'm like motherfucker she's British and she's an engineer so I'm choosing to play as her because that's awesome as fuck, not because what's between the legs you fucking buffoon

If she'd started popping off about just playing Fortnite I'd have been "yeah fair enough mate, maybe I am a shithead" but the whole implied "you're a guy so you must fancy her if you're using a girl model" just really got on my tits... to use a poorly timed expression.

I only ever played beta Fortnite, so I don't really know who we're talking about, but I thought all of the characters were generic, I didn't know there were classes.

It's been a while since I played, I only get involved in the live events these days.

I don't think there are classes in Battle Royale, but Save the World had different "classes" in the loosest sense.
