I remember watching a YouTube clip somebody made in Fortnite as they tried to watch the recording of Martin Luther King give his ‘I have a dream’ speech being played on a giant outdoor screen. And there was this little c*** who kept going up to him and dancing in front of his character, and when he moved he was following him.
As a kid I can see there would be humour in annoying others but this kind of thing is not appropriate if you’re trying to discuss the sombre issue of the Holocaust. Featuring serious issues in games like Fortnite does seem gimmicky, but on the other hand educating young people on these topics to an initial level through games could be an appropriate method to reach them. Maybe the best way to balance it all is for Epic Games to enforce a different set of controls when in the Holocaust museum – eg, not allow frivolity such as dance moves.
