I do, but I work at a nice place with clear standards. Fortnite is garbo and free.
For this analogy to work, I would need to feel like I was being attacked for wearing gym clothes to Arby’s or Taco Bell. Honestly I would be more prone to bullying people who do buy skins probably... you’re not cool if you put on an expensive tie to get your fake cheese Fritos milkshake anathema* for 0.69¢
(*I don’t have any particular reason to believe these exist)
- asdf21 7y agoFor the analogy to work, you just need to realize that Fortnite is the closest thing kids have to a self-selected, competitive "workplace".

- asdf21 7y agoGarish displays of wealth are generally more important to those with less means, to distinguish themselves. Probably the same here.
