Crtical reception
Meowscles was well received upon release. Raymond Woodsmall of Comic Book Resources described him as having “an undeniably adorable face paired with the body of a young Arnold Schwarzenegger”, a combination he found worked particularly well with Fortnite‘s dance animations. He further emphasized that the character’s appearance represented “goofy” skins in the game which were often avoided due to how highly visibly they made players, he found that most players tended to use such skins and that it was often simultaneously hilarious and humiliating to be killed in game by players using such.[1]
Riley MacLeod in an article for Kotaku stated that the character “looks like someone slapped that colon-three uwu emoticon over the stylized gay art of Tom of Finland“. At the same time, he voiced approval for the character’s friendly appearance, as well as his outfit and physique. MacLeod emphasized that while he was not a furry, he found the character design very attractive, and found elements such as his harness resembled attire seen at gay bars.[2] In a later article for Aftermath he stated that several commentators on Kotaku argued that Meowscles could be read as transgender, as most calico cats are female. He appreciated this interpretation of the character, and found it helped him to come to terms with his own identity as a trans person.[3]
