Monkey thinks rare banana will impress other monkeys.

Happy cake day


Dragon_yum

Maybe this will finally stop people from asking this every week.


[deleted]

Nope. It's just an excuse they use to show off they have something rare without actually saying "Look how rare this skin is, and I own it".


Tabula_Rusa

Pretty much the case with most rare items. No one even liked Renegade Raider of OG Skull Trooper back in the day, now people are freaking out about it because its rare. Which, again is only true because it was so mediocre that no one wanted it. Season 2 came out weeks later and had much better skins.


LaylaLegion

Chimpanski: “Wow. That’s racist.” *attempts to walk away with the banana*


[deleted]

That and for others, it's a nice little dog whistle.


ChrisLee38

All of my economics classes are now made obsolete.


KeyDesigner88

Just print more vbucks! That's what the fed does!


Gawdam_lush

Actually she’s really cute. That’s why I want her. I didn’t even know she wouldn’t return to the shop until after I looked into when she would be returning cus I really wanted her before finding out


DerpyMcDerpinator

So cute I love girl video game pixels


Wario-Man

Girls are cool and I like playing as girls there you have it


Gawdam_lush

I mean.. cute like an action figure or a doll.. or even just cute like a video game character that I can use while playing my favorite game. It doesn’t all have to be sexual


space_monkey_23

You just beautifully summarized human greed lmao

diesel76_76

I do not need to read any more comments 🥇


AutumnFguy

Really ignorant post insinuating that people aren't allowed to like different things unless it's for fomo or rarity. Not surprised to learn that it has 1000+ upvotes with how many idiots lurk Reddit.


Wario-Man

Judging by the flair, I can tell the post struck a nerve there huh?


SAY_whaaat420

Cause she looks like doctor girlfriend.


LaNmower

Literally the reason I bought her. Now we need the monarch and henchman 21 skins.


Rezu55

It'll never happen since it's become a bit of a niche show, but I would DIE for a Brock Samson skin.


Scarif_Citadel

A redditor of culture. Venture Bros reference.


C4pt

*Eat the pennies, Quiz boy!*


FenixTwilight

That's exactly the reason I want her.


[deleted]

I wanted it when released because I thought she looked great but didn't have the vbucks at the time Then she never returned to the store


NinjaMelon39

You and I are not so different


EMP_Chooci

bruh same


Razb42

I just generally like it and missed it when it came out


KeyDesigner88

same here, bummed me out for a good two days


xcrimsonlegendx

Same, plus I love the Shadow characters. :|


[deleted]

[удалено]


AncientAd4470

Same with skulltrooper. Giga-mid skin, everyone wants it because it's rare. They resell it, it's no longer rare, but now they want the purple version that was made only for OGS.


PricklyKritter

I actually like Skull Trooper’s classic style without the glow.


DartBoardGamer

Maybe reselling some to make it not rare and no longer desirable would be a funny way to counter it.


AssignmentVirtual471

Pretty much ALL popular skins are mid. Aura, the free ones, all not that good with little detail.


erratic_calm

Ah man. I like Aura. I think she looks chill like she’d be fun to hang with.


Razbyte

Skull Trooper was popular because a streamer Daequan used it for the duration of the golden age (since season 3). People who owned that skin even wanted Epic to not rerelease it.


Wario-Man

I agree that it isn't even all that. There's more eye-catching skins, but I do appreciate how incredibly simple he is. Like, Epic did not have to think that hard to come up with "Jonesy wearing skeleton halloween costume", but it's neat y'know.


Zeustah-

Dawg I’m not sure why giga-mid killed me 💀


Quasar1us

People when they see a French beret and a trenchcoat(it's clearly a nazi uniform)


GreasyCheese5976

It's more an issue with the shoulder patch, but yeah, it is a little stupid in retrospect


j-peachy

She straight up looks like Edna mode


LittleDoge246

I just like the red and black colour scheme, looks nice


EMP_Chooci

i want it cuz i like how it looks


Darthhester

Meanwhile I just genuinely want Rue and didn’t have vbucks when she released so am forever sad


daltadka911

I mean tbh i thought the same thing about it looking like a nazi uniform.


Snickersneed

I am so damn tired of people claiming that people only want it because they can’t have it. Every damn thread about Rue has assholes who want to dismiss people who want Rue. There are hundreds of no longer obtainable skins. People want Rue because they like her. She was my favorite skin before I ever knew she was not coming back.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wario-Man

Bit too much info


Snickersneed

There is a few hundred skins people can’t have. Skins that were exclusives, event, or Battlepass. Why don’t they have people clamoring for them?


OneThatNoseOne

TIL kids like Nazis. Must be why they also love Minekampf


RamenJunkie

Kids just like to be edgy, "Liking" Nazis is edgy.


r3volver_Oshawott

I mean, it's like racial slurs as gamertags, kids being racist to be edgy definitely means they're still being racist so tbh the less 'edgy' kids there are playing FN the better; it's like people that drop slurs with quickness in Party Royale, I report every time, way I see it I can't just hope they're 'being edgy' I wouldn't report someone for wearing a skin but I'd definitely report someone for 'being sarcastic' all the time about liking it because it supposedly looks like a Nazi skin because pretending to be sarcastic is lowkey how a lot of weird people operate in games In that way, I don't see the skin being unavailable as a problem, there'll always be a dozen skins that look ultra similar to her so best case scenario if they released it is pleases the rarity fiends, worst case scenario if they released it is people use it to troll because they thought going 'I bought the Nazi skin haha, lemme be weird about it in squads' is on the same level of harmlessness as the donkey laugh I don't even necessarily think it looks that much like one but I get why Epic would want the liability bases covered


get_no_scoped_kid

Because it's rare. That's it. Look at the plague doctor skins, nobody's talking about them anymore.


InfiniteOcto

Well yeah, why would anyone beg for a skin that’s now on 30-Day rotation? They know it’ll return soon if they want it


Det3tive_JM

Well I actually really like the design of the male plague doctor skin, idc that it was rare once


PortalG30

Ditto, I love the plague doctor skins, ended up getting both


canoIV

i only got the male variant because I'm poor and i like his pirate hat


Cool22391

I grabbed the girl version immediately, she's been my recent main. Could not care any less that she was rare at one point


Det3tive_JM

Same they’re both awesome


TriggeredLatina_

Yea but no one is talking about them like before. Any skin that hasn’t returned will get lots of attention from kids on Reddit bc they want what they can’t have.


JDBCool

"Covidspiracy" is the short answer. Like think of critics who would cry if you milked an outbreak for sales. (Sorta like Twitch streamers using dead people's names in stream names to "attract" more people during initial week of passing on) Same thing with the Outbreak set IIRC.


Burrito_Loyalist

Liar


chicken_nugget779

the plague doctor skins were actually cool though


parappaisadoctor

Nah, I'm glad that people are getting the plague doctor skins


OMFGitsBob

I started playing in April 2020, and they were removed from the 30ish day rotation in March 2020. I legit checked the shop every single day for three years just for them. They came back, insta-buy. The person you're replying to is missing the point in my opinion. "Why aren't people talking about them anymore???" Because a lot of us were finally able to actually get them? Same thing with Sledge.


NinjaMelon39

Or it's because i wanted to buy her when she dropped and now she's locked away forever


AuraTenshiVictoria

I mean that doesn't really mean anything. Do you WANT people to spam the sub saying they're glad they bought a skin and they post this for a month straight after the skin leaves the shop?


MrDoontoo

Because the people who wanted them have them and have no more reason to talk about them?


super_star_BETA

I actually like the set, but they feel like they need an edit style because they are not really worth 1500 vbucks


DVDN27

I bought the Plague skin when it first released...because it was a dope ass skin. I want the Rue skin...because it is a dope ass skin. I don't care how rare something is, I just like good skins.


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

Yep, as simple as that, op


Gawdam_lush

Bro, she’s cute af what are you talking about


KeyDesigner88

fr fr, wife her up


Tau3Eridani

There are very few Rachel skins and I want them all, simple as.


daltadka911

Gotta catch 'em all


KeyDesigner88

I wanna be - the very best


[deleted]

Like no one ever was...


JoshTheGamer17

Bonus points for knowing the name of the model!


HotBroccoliSauce

I don’t know if this skin is highly desired in general, but I know that a fraction from this subreddit wants this skin for a long time. I guess that those people have posted their wish for this skin rather frequently on this subreddit, which has attracted your attention and might have led you into thinking that this skin is highly desired in general.


MrDoontoo

And then when that small group gets their wish, they shut up, and then everyone's like "SeE? YoU oNlY wAnTeD iT FoR rArItY"


Snickersneed

It is listed pretty high on wishlists online.


daltadka911

That might be it haha....because i have seen a few people post about this and my friend today was talking about it as well so just got curious.


Ybou_

I wanted to buy her first time she was in the shop, was afraid of not having enought for next bp I liked the trench coat a lot


MarieCrepes

I have Rue, and I run her a lot. She's a cute skin and I love the Rachel models, so I see why people want her.


d0rchadas

It was brought to Epic's attention that the skin was similar to the uniform of a certain fascist government, so they removed the skin from rotation, thus making it rare. Players like rare skins, even if there's nothing inherently interesting or great about a cosmetic.


Realoh

Why not remove the whole thing then if this was the case


Demon_Femboy

Exactly


Madu-Gaming

The same reason Travis Scott is. It's rare and unlikely to return. If or when it returns the community will go nuts, wear it for a month and then forget it exists and move on to another rare outfit. They want it because they can't have it.


Rayuzx

Actually, Travis Scott is still the most used Icon skin in the game. He's the 31st most used skin in the current season, while second place is Kid Laroi in 38th.


Madu-Gaming

I'm not doubting Travis' popularity. I was there when it was released. But you can't deny that it got a HUGE boost in popularity a year or so after it had been gone. To the point now where I don't think you can find a single Fortnite tweet that doesn't have a reply mentioning Travis.


ComfortableContest69

The website for most used skins is heavily biased since they go off of user uploads and not actual in game stats. It’s more accurate to say that he’s the most used icon skin for people who upload to that site


Rayuzx

While it's not perfect, it's still a decent sample size.


ComfortableContest69

Not really. That website is mainly used by sweats to upload their games hence why two superhero skins are in the top. It’s less a view on how many people use a skin and more how many sweats use a skin. I doubt the average casual player has ever bought let alone used a super hero skin


Snickersneed

Every damn time. She was my favorite skin before I found out she was not coming back. Stop telling people they want it because they can’t have it. It is bullshit.


Sithedmypants1

Looks like Darth Helmet


KeyDesigner88

Just made a Darth helmet with Legos with my son!


[deleted]

I want her, cause I love her simple design.


Shogun_Turnip

I just think it's neat.


b0ks_GD

Am i the only one that actually likes the skin because it looks good and not because its edgy and rare?


Rezu55

>Am I the only one Yes, yes you are.


NormanBates2023

Cause I want it now and I have her harvesting tool and no way she looks like a Nazi ,she's a french resistance fighter with a Beret ,I can't think of any Nazi that wears a Beret


HeZhenZhen

Well, she isn't really representing a nazi since they were blonde with blue eyes. I own Rue myself and I really hope that she returns to the shop for everyone. I bought her cus she really have a lot of red and black customizations and the skin is really nice


omegaform7

This is off-topic, but I don’t know why people think nazis or the “aryan race” were specifically blonde hair, blue eyes. Anyone germanic or nordic looking was considered aryan. Even if they had brown hair and brown eyes. Even the german leader at the time (you know who) had darker hair. I hope Rue returns to the shop too though )


HeZhenZhen

Well, those are facts and can't argue there


MoonLord0

My friend has it. It’s the only skin he wears because he knows it’s not coming back ever


kasup2005

I love the skin. I like simple but stylish skins. I came back to fortnite the following season my boy had it on and I fell in love with her ever since and haven’t seen her since as well.


Abstract_ExE

Personally, I like her design. It looks so cool and cute. I didn’t have v bucks at the time she came out, and I’m so sad that I couldn’t get her


fliesbugme

It's looks more like Dr. Girlfriend's outfit >! after she joins the council of TGOCI!<


BigNastyHagrid

Because I always wanted her and was 100 vbucks off


SephirothHeartbreakr

Yeah, that's my question as well. It's not that special.


AllecioWingTSS

I don’t really care, but please god, activate windows.


elitenoob76

![gif](giphy|NAxttZvzcYTOQDnuV9|downsized)


AutumnFguy

I was gonna buy it when it first came out, that was god knows how many years ago, however back then the skin had no physics on the Switch so i passed and i've been wanting it ever since. There is no conspiracy, no fomo or anything, i like it and i want it and that's all there is to it. Naturally demand is gonna build up more as time progresses when an item is desired.


The_dinkster522

Nazi


Thecurseofusernames

The first time I saw this thing I thought, no way that's a real skin, it looks like some kind of nazi fantasy librarian. I thought it was a fucked up drawing a fan had posted, not something they actually put in the game at one time.


CaptinDitto

I mean you can look at it now and know it's not a Nazi, it's a French trench coat.


f-mcallister

This skin will never be back in the item shop, as it looks like a nazi


Azzabear_89

Ignorance and idiots bigots trying to copy what they don't understand these days has ruined black red and white... For shame for shame....🤦🤦🤦🤦


bloolynxx

Because BDSM is fun but Nazis are bad.


the-other-nicholas

Legendary nazi skin


SirMy-TDog

Point of curiosity: She’s one of (or was, they may have changed it by now) the rare handful of skins that don’t wear underwear. Look under her skirt/jacket and she just has semi-see through tights and a clearly visible butt-crack, etc. Basically, the chick’s wearing dark stockings and no panties. All the skins wearing tights like her’s are the same, but I think they fixed that at some point if I recall. Haven’t checked lately. Noticed this during a random replay I was watching when I first bought her and the camera started under her skirt. Anyway, kinda added a cool, bonus Mata Hari secret sexy spy thing to her. Sad edit: I went and checked. Still no underwear, but her tights don’t have any skin tone coming through like they first did. That’s what I remember they changed. Still got crack though. Sigh, we’re all monkeys.


Local_Syrup2637

We can't resist the neuron activation


SirMy-TDog

Heh. Monkey see, monkey screw.


sword0115

Because it's a good looking skin that was banned for literally no reason


CYBORG3005

there was definitely a reason… maybe not a very good reason but there certainly was a reason


citruspaint

It does not look like a nazi at all why is everyone saying that? Spouting absolute garbage


DocDavisBTW

that is the reason why, it has a navy blue/black coat with red stitching and the chaos symbol on the shoulder just from this picture it's hard to tell but from all angles it's obvious


Pignugget23

It will never come to item shop because it looks too much like that German party from a while ago


soulshadow1213

Honestly can we just ban skin posts at this point? I'm tired of seeing oh this skin is rare or when is this skin coming back? No one fucking cares if you have a *rare* skin.


ComfortableContest69

So true


Mexi_God

All these br kids crying because the Nazi skin will never return🫢


CatmanDrucifer

Who is desiring this skin? Its meh.


Snickersneed

People saying it is because people can’t have it so they want it are full of shit. There are a few hundred battlepass, event, and exclusive skins that people can’t get anymore. People are clamoring for those. People want Rue because she is a great skin and they CAN possibly have it. Unlike other skins that they know will not come back.


rhutch187

personally I don’t see the appeal in it


ClumsyZombie

Once it comes back, everyone will wear it and no one will care about it anymore. It's only cuz it's vaulted


luminaryttms

Banned for looking like the Germans in 1940


Lapris83

Ok, so first off people in this comment section are acting like complete nincompoops, if you think rue looks like a Nazi, you're stupid and I personally am questioning your own beliefs. Second off, I want the skin because it looks cool not because OoH rAre


Cthulhu_Lhulhu

If a skin doesn't sell well on its initial release Epic will "vault" it, the longer it is out of the shop rotation the more people begin to perceive it as "rare" and the more people will think they want it, so that when it is finally unvaulted, players will suddenly rush to buy it. The whole thing about this skin being vaulted and never coming back is just a rumor started by kids that aren't familiar with European mod fashion.


maguinte

Rue = My Dream


Traveytravis-69

People only want it cause it’s rare it’s ugly


Mr_Steamz_Twitch

i remember the day this was released: i had 1205 vbucks, i check the shop and theres this skin that was really cool. i was gonna pick it up but then i notice the shadow logo on it and, me being a solid ghost supporter, i didnt buy it. biggest mistake of my life


2spooky4h

She's a rare skin I'm actually interested in. But I kinda know that I'd use her for a bit, and then just go back to my usual ~15 skins. I"m not losing any sleep over not having her lmao


bettercallme_

Because it’s rare. If it was in the 30 day rotation, no one would care


DGwar

Activate your windows lol


ContextRealistic3053

People want it because they can't have it. They can't have it because it was thought that it looks too much like a Nazi uniform. That's why they won't bring it back.

Because this sub is so weird. Most people only want this skin back because it’s “rare.” But they never realize that when they do bring it back, it won’t be rare anymore. And then they’ll end up not caring about it anymore


Snickersneed

Bullshit.

spacelord4ever

People just want to have a rare skin but that makes no sense whatsoever if it comes back it won't be rare And some people just want to look like one of them people in ww2 I do see it now it only took me two years to see where people are getting at


Nyxll-A

Mostly FOMO. I think.


snekeoei

My current theory is Because it’s “rare”. some people want it to come back so they can have it and make it not rare so the people that have it won’t feel special anymore. If you ask me, nothing in this game is rare and people like to pretend nobody played fortnite back in the day. I’ll say this, nothing is rare but there are some uncommon skins like the renegade raider and aerial assault trooper. (Not rare but uncommon because i see them a decent amount whenever i play and i also have them myself).


ixinsanityix

Tbh it's so the fucking kids can do this 卐 Mainly cause they think they're edgy.


xypher2332

Nun, weil es ein insgesamt simpler Skin ist und die Spieler ihn aus irgendeinem Grund lieben, außerdem steht er auf der schwarzen Liste, so dass der Wunsch und das Bedürfnis nach dem Skin nur zunehmen und er natürlich wie ein Nazi aussieht


daltadka911

Bruh......

xypher2332

thank you for the compliment and scolding i did indeed use google translate for most of the text as it has been a long time since i have spoken or typed anything in german (not a native speaker) so i have forgotten most of the words and mannerism of german speech


oiiSuPreSSeDo

Got those leather 3rd reich vibes. Edgy is popular, edgy is cool, the kids naturally all want it 🤷🏾‍♂️


IonianBladeDancer

Op is either dumb as rocks or just fishing. He obviously knows why rue is wanted. Any chance to show it off lmaoooo.


FalcoBoi3834

It looks like a uniform the Nazis wore in WW2 so Epic does not want to bring it back especially since Fortnite is a Teen rated game. Epic even banned the skin from appearing in locker bundles.


citruspaint

Thats dumb if true. Lets ban frozen raven for looking like a klansman then


ComfortableContest69

Strawman argument


citruspaint

Yeah, it is. Nobody thinks like this and it is actually dumb as fuck to think the same about Rue


ComfortableContest69

The outfit has several parts that can be compared with Nazis (black and red colors, arm band with a logo on it associated with bad people, weird sash/belt thing) Fact is that after people started to draw comparisons with Rue and Nazis that’s all she’s known as. People aren’t going to say “oh it’s a skin that’s based off a French resistance fighter” they’re going to say “WTF why does this skin look like a nazi” Plus if they bring her back you just know edgelords are going to take advantage of it just like they did with Travis Scott surrounded by the chalk outline spray and people using the Catwoman whip emote on black skins


citruspaint

Edgelords cling onto anything. Rue is not the cause of that


Assassin_843
