Earlier today, Epic Games announced that it collaborated with Time Magazine to create a virtual Martin Luther King Jr. experience within Fortnite.

The event, called "March Through Time," was announced on the official PlayStation Twitter to the bewilderment of many.

Now, understandably, many were perplexed at this addition. Some took this emotion a step further and went on the offensive, attacking the idea and sharing memes that call to question why it was made, as well as what it will do to younger kids who associate MLK and his historic movement with Fortnite, which is typically known for in-game events like the Travis Scott concert or the recent Ariana Grande concert.
