And while there\u2019s no denying Obsession\u2019s popularity \u2014 Nikki was one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/obsessions-nikki-buddy-the-unicorn-top-this-years-most-googled-halloween-costumes\">most-searched Halloween costumes<\/a> on Google this year, after all \u2014 her inclusion as a purchasable skin in a video game is rubbing some fans the wrong way.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Warning:<\/strong><\/em><em> Major spoilers for Obsession below!<\/em><\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"divider\"><\/section>\n<p>This uncomfortable reaction is in direct response to Nikki being the victim of Bear\u2019s wish in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/movies\/obsession\">Obsession<\/a>. In the movie, Nikki\u2019s body is overtaken by a malicious entity while the real Nikki is locked away in her own mind, unable to do anything but watch as the entity possessing her commits atrocities while wearing her skin. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Be careful what you wish for\u2026 Nikki is coming to Fortnite tomorrow &#x1fabe; https:\/\/t.co\/iSY6eseqVX<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Fortnite (@Fortnite) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Fortnite\/status\/2112575711840276869?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 20, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>She is also taken advantage of by Bear, who engages in intimacy with Nikki\u2019s physical form without getting the consent of the real Nikki. (Bear becomes aware of this fact in the film, but decides against trying to save her, asking, \u2018What\u2019s so bad about being with me?\u2019 to which Nikki replies, \u2018I\u2019ve never been with you, Bear.\u2019)<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, making Nikki \u2014 who is a victim of rape \u2014 a playable character in a video game isn\u2019t exactly being met with positivity from some folks in Fortnite\u2019s playerbase. That\u2019s not including her special emote, which sees her hold up Wiley E. Coyote-style signs reenacting the famous dinner scene where she flips out on Bear, or the skin\u2019s recreation of her iconic frown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWanting your rape victim character in a game as a fun element (ironically Nikki suffers from has no control on her body and mind in movie) is a f**king choice,\u201d one user <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/snowiestudio\/status\/2112594028365496723?s=20\"><u>wrote<\/u><\/a> on Twitter\/X. \u201cAlso, f**k Fortnite too for this choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"fortnite-made-an-obsession-parody-with-the-elusive-zero-point-sprite\" data-loop=\"\" data-shorts=\"true\"><\/section>\n<p>\u201cI kind of hate how Nikki was turned into a meme like this.
