Fortnite Now Lets Players Block ‘Overly Confrontational’ Emotes, Sparking Vociferous Debate
23.04.2024 - 11:45 / ign.com
Epic Games has updated Fortnite to let players block certain emotes it said were used in “confrontational ways.”
The new 'Confrontational Emotes' setting, live as part of April 23’s v29.30 update, lets players toggle visibility on four emotes, including Fortnite’s famous ‘Take the L’ emote. Players who choose not to see certain emotes that are “sometimes used in confrontational ways” will instead see a player using the emote standing still, with no emote sound, Epic said.
“We want emotes to be a source of good vibes, but a few (*cough* Take the L *cough*) can sometimes feel a bit overly confrontational,” Epic explained in a tweet.
The 'See Confrontational Emotes' setting applies to four emotes:
The new setting can be found under ‘Social Privacy’ and will default to only show these emotes from friends in your party, Epic said. You can change this setting any time, so you can see these emotes from ANY player or not at all.
It’s a significant change for Fortnite, which owes much of its early success to revenue-generating emotes as the battle royale blew up in the late 2010s. Some of the emotes became world famous dances, with even footballers performing them as goal celebrations.

Fortnite will let you hide "confrontational" emotes, including the game's most popular
Royale-battler Fortnite will soon allow players to hide a handful of emotes the developers concede are "sometimes used in confrontational ways". This includes the emote reported as the most-used in Fortnite's seven-year history. That's either a worrying indictment of the game's players, or a (more?) worrying indictment of universal human psychology. What is the offending animation? Well, turns out people don't like being laughed at.
