I’ve got a solution we replace all cops with purple lesbian cyclops

They will probably just patch it in where the cops are the bad guys, and the criminals are the hero's.

Every normal person wouldn't have thought anything about them being in there in the first place. The player base is largely children who likely don't even know what's going on in the world around them.
By taking this action, you have now just added politics into your game.
The medium doesn't set forth only fiction.
There is an expectation that a WW2 game will be historically accurate.

By no means does this affect my enjoyment of the game. I will still play the same as before (in stretches on and off). Nothing will be changed in terms of game play. The game will go on.
But my oh my, if this doesn't show how rapidly society is circling the drain then I don't know what else to say.

The police is great. There you have it. I assume I'm now an alt-right nazi for saying that.

Some of y'all need to read the fucking room. I have to assume some of the clueless/privileged views in this thread are symptomatic of the times we live in. Removing the cop cars will have zero impact on the game. Why should you care other than to state that you are a rebel for not conforming to a society that is actually trying to self-correct, and minimize some of the institutional ills that have only become norms due to decades/centuries of negligence and ignorance? You're basically beating the drum for continuing said ignorance. I'm pretty chill and laid back about a lot of things, but I'm not ignorant of how perception differs from one group to another. I'm black. Experienced enough negative interactions with crooked cops in the US that I moved literally halfway across the globe to get away from it. You literally couldn't pay me to move back there. I applaud efforts even as small as this, as it means that people with large platforms are actually listening. Keep pretending it means nothing, and is a bad thing. You've never had to deal with the shit that makes decisions like these meaningful to others. That's the actual bubble someone referenced earlier. The bubble of denial/ignorance. It must be nice to grow up sheltered from reality.

Definitely. Now Joker is a sympathetic character and Batman is a white oppressor. Superman is a Jesus figure (was created by a Jewish guys but who cares), and also a white male, so WonderWoman is the new icon (how ironic). Pure insanity. I hope for the sake of all who are against the law and order have lots of guns and money to hire a PMC. Dumb fucks.

Lol without the police GF would never have went to jail in the first place which helped him somewhat become a better person. This logic is beyond retarded. Police cars are now too offensive.
The ironic thing is if this pc generation got their way the world would fall apart and these do gooders would be bottom of the food chain. Idiots.

It's not an all or nothing thing. It's about moderation, and right now, there is no moderation of policing. Thinking in absolutes is where you're wrong. You don't see people calling for fire departments to be defunded, right? There's a reason police departments have come under scrutiny, and it's because they are out of control. When the people tasked with your protection have no accountability, they always trend towards tyranny.
Fortunately, there are an infinite number of control points between what we have now, and the world of Mad Max. The goal is to get things back to an appropriate level for all races.

Look at the last Mad Max movie. Now we are getting a sequel/prequel without Max. These ppl think that being strong , independent and having a vagina is good enough to survive a in post apocalypse world. To PC ppl world without a police is not a big deal, really. They'll manage it on sheer power of impotent liberal rage.

Fuck Fortnite. It's nothing more than a cleverly disguised mobile game that guilts young players to "pay for the cool skins" otherwise they feel "uncool" and even bullied in real life.
It's trash. And they want to act like they show morals here? Scumbags.

Or maybe they don't want players to destroy police cars ingame and get heat for "promoting violence against police".

Less scary police with big muscles... more security cameras that do not require a salary.

There's such a fundamentally stupid and contradictory principle underneath all this:
a) Videogames like Call of Duty that feature the ritual mechanised slaughter of tens of thousands of human looking characters does not, in any way shape or form, promote actual real life violence; against
b) Seeing a police car in a game where you can play as a banana and defy gravity promotes systemic police brutality.
Which is it?
If video games are that materially effective, then fuck me we have some censoring to do.

It makes sense for them to want the law to fuck off since they're like a casino for kids.

Well, they're not out of control in the UK.
We've got hundreds of kids (black) stabbing the shit out of each other (literal - their choice move is to stab other gang members in the anus so if they survive they need a colostomy bag), yet the cops only killed two unarmed people last year, one of whom was the London Bridge terrorist.
This isn't about defunding the cops or 'moderation'. It's hard left destruction of basic social institutions. They can't win at the ballot box so they're trying to gain control through the mob.

It's pretty much inarguably the game of the generation at this point. Fortnite hasn't been "cool"...ever? It rose to elite status based on the merits of it's mechanics.
That being said, it's a little scary how rational people are bowing down to a small percentage of irrational people.

I don't know how. People who are against this are not going to push to the level of riots, arson, theft, and vandalism. I am afraid that this train has no brakes and its heading straight for tyranny and gulags.

What a load of bollocks.
I don't even know where to begin. Practically every single sentence of yours is steeped in misinformation, logical fallacies and a general sense of misguidance. But instead of derailing the thread I'll kindly invite you to head over to the Politics section as soon as you get your full membership status, where a number of threads dedicated to the topic of police brutality will be at your disposal. Please consider presenting your arguments there and I'll do my best to give you the full premium retort.
Cheers.
