So Fortnite is a survival video game in which you rebuild a homeland and defend it from monsters. You can play as a range of characters, including one called "Tank Penny."
Fortnite / Via Wikipedia
At some point following the release of the game, someone edited a photo of Tank to "un-tumblrize" her - make her skinny, whiter, and fit conventional ideas of western attractiveness.
It is unclear when the edit was made, but it appears on 4chans video game board in mid-September.
The image quickly spread across social media. First people got mad.
But it quickly got weird.
Okay this one is good the meme can stay.
