Revert / Re-evaluate the Fortnite age restriction system


Revert / Re-evaluate the Fortnite age restriction system
The Issue
In the most recent Fortnite update (Nov 16, 2023) Fortnite implemented a new age rating system. This mostly applies to Fortnite Creative / UEFN. This petition has been created as a majority of the community is finding this to be more of a hinderance than a help.
Epic Games has stated "While there are thousands of Fortnite cosmetics available for all experiences, a small portion are not compatible with E or E10+ (or regionally equivalent) game ratings. In these cases, players will notice a new icon in their Locker and in the Item Shop indicating which Outfits and accessories cannot be equipped inside islands below a certain ratings threshold."

Immediately after this update went live, players noticed rather ridiculous cosmetics being "age restricted" due to the detailing of the cosmetic. Myself and many others in the community feel this system is already causing problems, hence this petition has come to light.
