The New "Woman's Day" Contains a "Fortnite" Guide to Educate Your Parents

Will you come home to find your mum on Fortnite?

Parents and video games have long been at odds with each other, but perhaps it's just due to a huge misunderstanding that a little bit of education can fix.

That's why people took note when Woman's Day released their latest issue with a whole section dedicated to hints and tips for Fortnite.

Not only was there a handy guide to put your parents at ease over the whole Fortnite hysteria, it also gave them the option to win some pretty neat prize packs.

It's a big deal because coverage of hyped games like Fortnite (and Grand Theft Auto in previous years) tends to skew towards alarmism, with headlines often suggesting that the games are damaging or addictive.

Video gamers across Twitter gave a united fist pump toward Woman's Day great leap in a positive direction.

We call out crappy treatment in the media of video games a lot, so it's worth highlighting when someone gets it right. Bravo Women's Day! https://t.co/zuqHToOdvk

Next time someone tells you that combat videogames are the domain of teenage boys and men, I want you all to show them this picture of a 'lady magazine' that features a guide to Fork Knife (and the chance to win merch).

Show them it and then draw your power from their despair. https://t.co/dFoPJBt3qP

Women's Day on the face of it seems to be taking a more measured and considered approach to fortnite than half the media in Australia https://t.co/Ol4TL54AZP
