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.
It’ll be easy enough to hide, according toa post by the developers.
Or they can change it so only friends can visibly perform the emote.
Alongside the laughing emote, three others qualified for the “confrontational” filter.
“Take the L” is a dorky dance featuring the dreaded loser’s L to the forehead.
“Whipcrack” is - surprise surprise - a snapping whip.
The general theme seems to be anything that evokes humiliation and/or suggestiveness.
Here’sa short video showing the emotes in action.
It’s not yet clear if other emotes will join those already on the naughty list.
But if it makes some player’s games a little less toxic, then fair play.
This isn’t the first time Fortnite’s emotes have made the news, mind.
