As a concerned player and parent, I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact media can have on young minds. I'm deeply troubled by the partnership between Epic Games, the creators of Fortnite, and VivziePop, the makers of Hazbin Hotel. Fortnite, a game with a substantial young audience, could inadvertently expose children to the mature and potentially distressing content of Hazbin Hotel, a show known for its adult themes and graphic imagery.

Fortnite has always been more than just a game; it's a vibrant community where players connect, collaborate, and have fun in a safe and inclusive environment. However, by associating with VivziePop, Epic Games risks introducing a darker element that is not suitable for their core demographic—children and teenagers who make up a considerable portion of their user base.

The consequences of such exposure are not trivial. Hazbin Hotel features themes of hell, demons, and adult humor, elements that can confuse and traumatize young players not equipped to process such content. Numerous mental health professionals and media researchers emphasize the importance of age-appropriate content for the psychological well-being of children. As parents and guardians, we must safeguard our children's mental health from unnecessary exposure to harmful media.

Hazbin Hotel fans are some of the most hateful people I have ever met, they will literally threaten you for not having the same opinion as them and Vivienne isn’t any better than her fans who treat her like Jesus Christ but the hellish version of, the harassment I’ve received has become a massive burden to my normal life because no matter what I do I can never escape from this horrible show!

Epic Games prides itself on innovation and creativity, always pushing the boundaries of what's possible in gaming. Yet, partnership choices can have far-reaching implications. By severing ties with VivziePop, Epic Games would be taking a commendable step in reaffirming their commitment to family-friendly content and the safety of their younger audience.

Join me in urging Epic Games to dissociate from VivziePop. Let's protect our children and the integrity of the spaces they love. Sign this petition and help ensure Fortnite remains a safe haven for young players everywhere.
