Fortnite players are upset after Epic Games quietly restricted the use of certain “freaky” emotes. Popular moves like Bring It Around and Ride the Pony can no longer be used when standing too close to other players, particularly if they’re doing emotes like Poki or Party Hips. Instead of performing the emote, characters now either stand still or shake their heads. Epic hasn’t explained the change, but many speculate it’s tied to Roblox facing backlash for suggestive emotes earlier this year. Fans have blasted the move as censorship, with some arguing it ruins the fun and creativity that emotes bring. Others believe it’s only a temporary fix, as players will likely find new ways to mimic the same behavior with different emote combinations. #fortnite #gaming #epicgames #emote #emotes
