In    celebrating the upcoming crossover, it seems Epic has    reinstated some Eminem tracks to the in-game Icon Radio    catalog.  <\/p>\n<p>      Article continues after ad    <\/p>\n<p>    To the chagrin of players, though, Ems bars are heavily    censored, some to a hilarious degree.  <\/p>\n<p>      Article continues after ad    <\/p>\n<p>    Fortnite-centric Twitter\/X account iFireMonkey    pointed out that Ems return to the     in-game radio involves lots of censorship. The users shared    a short clip wherein Eminems Godzilla song featuring Juice    WRLD plays in the background.  <\/p>\n<p>    Of course, some of the rappers more colorful language had to    be nixed. Thus, a lyric like Motherf*****n finger comes out    as finger, finger.  <\/p>\n<p>        Fewer Ads|Dark Mode|Deals in Gaming, TV and Movies, and        Tech      <\/p>\n<p>      Article continues after ad    <\/p>\n<p>    But the real problem arises with the prostate exam lyric that    follows the aforementioned line. Apparently, the word    prostate isnt allowed on Fortnite radio stations. So this    bit of Godzilla in Fortnite sounds like, finger, finger    exam (exam).  <\/p>\n<p>      Article continues after ad    <\/p>\n<p>    Suffice it to say, Fortnite players are getting a kick out of    Fortnites need to censor Eminem songs. Yet, many mention in    response to the above post that itd be nice if Epic gave    players an option.  <\/p>\n<p>      Article continues after ad    <\/p>\n<p>    They gotta make censorship optional, reads one comment. NAH    THEY BUTCHERED THE SONG (I understand its necessary for lil    Timmy but please make censoring optional), someone else wrote.  <\/p>\n<p>    Another person argued that only     accounts for underage users should be restricted in this    manner. Just like the cosmetics, music censoring should only    be for underage accounts.  <\/p>\n<p>    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<p>      Article continues after ad    <\/p>\n<p>      Article continues after ad    <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>View post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dexerto.com\/fortnite\/fortnite-eminem-songs-radio-godzilla-censored-2396963\/\" title=\"Fortnite players baffled by censorship of Eminem songs in-game - Dexerto\" rel=\"noopener\">Fortnite players baffled by censorship of Eminem songs in-game - Dexerto<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Brianna Reeves Published: 2023-11-22T20:52:18 Updated: 2023-11-22T20:52:28 Fortnite players call out censorship of Eminem songs on the in-game radio, specifically for butchering the rappers lyrics.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/transhuman-news-blog\/censorship\/fortnite-players-baffled-by-censorship-of-eminem-songs-in-game-dexerto\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1119481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-censorship"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1119481"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1119481"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1119481\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1119481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1119481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1119481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
