Fortnite's Chapter 4 Season OG has been a massive hit, breaking player count records with over 44 million participants in a single day. The nostalgic update brought back the OG map, weapons, cosmetics, and more, creating a wave of excitement among long-time players. However, amidst the positive reception, a heated debate has ignited over a seemingly divisive skin – the Geometrik outfit.
This controversial cosmetic, first introduced in Chapter 2, Season 8, has become the center of attention as players express shock and disbelief that others are willing to spend $15 on what they describe as a "trash" skin.
The debate gained traction when a user, imalonexc, posted a screenshot of the Geometrik skin on the FortniteBR Reddit with the caption: "I wanna know how many of skins like this are being sold and who exactly is saying YO that skin is fire take my $15."
Despite some players slamming the Geometrik skin for its perceived lack of appeal, a significant number came to its defense in the Reddit comments, sparking a passionate conversation among Fortnite enthusiasts.

"My friend absolutely loves this skin. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s bad," one user responded. Another chimed in, emphasizing the subjective nature of preferences: "Did u forget everyone has different opinions?"
A prevailing sentiment among defenders of the Geometrik skin was the diversity of tastes within the Fortnite community. "That’s the beauty of Fortnite in my opinion; another person’s trash can be someone else’s treasure. For example, I know a lot of people don’t use the Sleuth skin, but he’s one of my favorites!" explained one player.
Several users highlighted the nostalgia factor for older players, noting that the skin's design is reminiscent of the iconic Kevin The Cube, a fan-favorite element that recently made a comeback as a classic Point of Interest (POI) on the map.
As Fortnite Season OG comes to a close, the Battle Royale community is gearing up for Chapter 5, which promises an exciting conclusion with "The Big Bang" live event and the introduction of three Eminem-themed skins. The controversy surrounding the Geometrik outfit serves as a testament to the diverse preferences within the Fortnite player base, where what may be considered "garbage" by some becomes a cherished item for others.
