Gearbox narrative director Sam Winkler wants to reduce the amount of “toilet humor” in the upcoming Borderlands 4 game, citing examples like a gun called “Hawk 2A” and a reference to a “skibidi toilet.” This comes after criticism for similar jokes in Borderlands 3. Winkler made his stance clear on Twitter, stating that he will not tolerate such humor if it makes an appearance in the new game.
Winkler did not provide any details about the game’s content but reiterated his dislike for excessive “toilet humor.” The statement also referenced a joke from Paul Tassi, who joked about including a gun with this name. Winkler jokingly threatened to cry real tears if he found out such a reference was included in the game.
The comments from Winkler have sparked interest among fans, particularly regarding the tone of the new trailer and potential references to “toilet humor.” Despite not being able to discuss the game’s content, Winkler’s stance on the issue has left players with mixed reactions.
