I met a grown adult the other week that told me she liked playing Fortnite

So what? I'm not a fan of Fortnite as well, but let people enjoy what they want.

Right, so why downvote me and not this insipid image macro?

Because I'm not mocking people for enjoying things?

in the context that wasn't very clear

Lemmy often assumes the worst about comments. I think people interpreted* your comment as "can you imagine this woman I know enjoys this kiddy game?!". While you really meant, I think, "some adults like to play Fortnite, too, actually".

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I join my boomer squad nearly every night. I'm the youngest at age 43. We win 1 in every 4 games, so that's not awful. Depending on the mood we w-key or we just have fun and giggles.

It is a very well made game with fun mechanics and plenty of content.

Game is game. Play whatever brings you joy. Except FIFA, of course.
