[QUOTE="Admin, post: 68713, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2025/09/29/g16oi6gxgaawo0e-1759136445687.jpg[/IMG] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/fortnite']Fortnite[/URL] has swiftly disabled the game's Peaceful Hips emote, a collaboration with James Gunn and John Cena's DCU [URL='https://www.ign.com/tv/peacemaker']Peacemaker[/URL] TV series, following a bombshell twist at the end of the show's most recent episode. [I][B]Warning![/B] Spoilers for Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 6 follow.[/I] Fans were left stunned when Peacemaker's latest episode revealed that the show's alternate "Earth-2" setting was in fact "Earth-X," a fascist, Nazi world where the U.S. flag features a swastika. Many fans now say Peacemaker had subtly pointed to this twist the whole season, as Cena's dance in the show's opening credits includes arm movements suggestive of a swastika — the same dance moves seen in the Peaceful Hips emote. But none of this seemed likely before the last episode aired — and judging by a statement released by Fortnite maker Epic Games over the weekend, the developer was just as surprised to discover what looks to be the true meaning of the emote it now had in the game. "We're disabling the Peaceful Hips Emote in Fortnite as we inquire into our partner's creative intentions in this collab emote," Epic Games [URL='https://x.com/FortniteStatus/status/1972168326551138447']wrote[/URL] on its Fortnite Status social media account. "Assuming it's not coming back, we'll issue refunds in the next few days. Sorry folks." Epic Games' statement doesn't sound positive for the emote remaining in Fortnite, but what's even more extraordinary is the suggestion that developer — who worked closely with DC Studios on the collaboration — was left to discover the dance's true nature alongside audiences, and was now scrambling to get an explanation. Fans have already begun to fret over what any potential schism might mean for the future of DC's popular collaborations within Fortnite, and whether the two companies would continue to work together. IGN has contacted Epic Games for comment. In general, fan response to the emote being pulled has been mixed, with some acknowledging the potential for the "Nazi emote," as it's been dubbed, to subsequently be misused by players to grief others. Others, however, have questioned why Epic Games has acted here but not in other similar situations. For example, Fortnite recently raised eyebrows by adding the Tylil Dance, an emote collaboration with rapper Kai Cenat which features music by Kanye West. West, who now refers to himself as Ye, previously made numerous comments deemed to be anti-semitic and in 2022 said he identified as "a Nazi." In another example, Fortnite has notably shied away from reselling an in-game skin, Rue, whose costume players widely likened to the design of a Nazi uniform. The skin remains within the game, though is now one of Fortnite's rarest — as Epic Games has chosen not to sell it in over five years.
