My male cousin (10M) is pressuring my uncle (38M) to change his age on Fortnite from 10 to 13 and we explained to him how this is wrong and he got mad. What should we do?

Let him be mad
Let him be mad, he shouldn’t lie about his age especially if he’s playing in public servers with (im assuming) kids
Omg half of yall haven’t even played fortnite before he’s probably trying to change his age so he can go on voice chat with friends not talk to random strangers but you guys know best so in my opinion ask why he wants to change his age and then monitor him while he plays
Let him be mad and don’t change it
Let him stay mad. lol. Like wtf. He is a kid.
If your 10 year old cousin doesn’t know how to change his own age on fortnight, he shouldn’t be playing it.
The gaming world is not a safe place for a 10 year old let alone a 13 year old these days. Please keep protecting him
I would consider taking away the option to play Fortnite. He is lucky he gets to play at all.
I would suspend his Fortnite account, and remind him it’s a privilege and not a right.
Fortnite as a 10 year old is better than no Fortnite at all.
Let your uncle handle it. There is no "we", that involves you, in this issue.
Tell him if he complains any further, he can kiss goodbye to playing Fortnite at all. The fact he’s pestering your uncle and getting mad is proof he can’t be trusted.
On the side note, there are a lot of resources out there that teaches internet safety that’s age appropriate.
E.g. https://beinternetawesome.withgoogle.com/en_us
Go through that with him.
I read this as your uncle is posing as a 10 year old on Fornite and your cousin is trying to get him to change it to posing as a 13 year old!
