00:00No one buy this.
00:01NO ONE BUY THIS!
00:03Fortnite, the global gaming phenomenon,
00:05is no stranger to controversy,
00:07especially when it comes to its coveted character skins.
00:09In December of 2024,
00:11the re-release of the legendary Renegade Raider skin
00:14ignited a firestorm within the community.
00:16But why are users upset about it,
00:18and how has it become a viral meme?
00:19Oh, relax!
00:20Originally introduced in 2017
00:22during Fortnite's inaugural season,
00:24the Renegade Raider skin was a badge of honor
00:26for early adopters,
00:27symbolizing their dedication
00:29and OG status in the game.
00:31Fast forward to December 18th, 2024,
00:33when leaks revealed that Epic Games
00:35planned to bring back several original skins,
00:37including the Renegade Raider.
00:38This decision sparked immediate reactions
00:40across social media platforms.
00:42They actually did it.
00:44Many veteran players felt that the re-release
00:46undermined the exclusivity of the skin,
00:48which they viewed as a reward
00:49for their early commitment to the game.
00:51For example, on December 21st,
00:53TikToker Los Poyos Clips
00:54posted a clip of streamer Los Poyos TV
00:57reacting to the return of Renegade Raider.
00:59Emphatically upset by it
01:00because he was an OG player.
01:02Over three days, the video received
01:03over 2.5 million views.
01:05You don't deserve a f***ing Renegade Raider, bro.
01:09You don't deserve it.
01:10Also on December 21st,
01:11TikToker OsliFN
01:13posted a clip of many streamers and OG players
01:16reacting to the Renegade Raider re-release,
01:18including NickA30,
01:19amassing 1.7 million views in three days.
01:22Oh my gosh!
01:24On December 18th, YouTuber Formula tweeted,
01:27Don't buy the Renegade skin
01:28if you respect OG Fortnite players.
01:30It's more than a skin.
01:31It's a symbol of their early commitment and grind.
01:33Let them keep their exclusivity.
01:34Show your respect by appreciating its rarity,
01:37not owning it.
01:37Some things are better left untouched.
01:39Over the following days,
01:40this post was retweeted in earnest by some.
01:43However, the community's response
01:44was far from unified.
01:45The tweet quickly became a copypasta
01:47with many mocking the perceived entitlement
01:50of the OG players.
01:51Memes and parodies flooded in
01:52on platforms like Twitter and TikTok,
01:54highlighting the community's divided stance.
01:56Hey, when did you purchase that skin?
01:582017.
01:592017, huh?
02:00Okay, if you purchased it in 2017,
02:02what season level did you have to get to
02:04in order to buy it?
02:0525.
02:06Oh, 25?
02:07Well, it was actually 20.
02:08For example, TikToker hallelujah44
02:10posted a clip from the Grown Ups film franchise
02:13of the characters laughing,
02:14adding a caption making fun of the calls to,
02:16quote, respect the OGs.
