Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 62342, member: 636"] Epic Games removed a Peacemaker dance emote from Fortnite after the character's television series revealed disturbing symbolism behind the movements. The Peaceful Hips emote arrived as part of a collaboration with the DC series written and directed by James Gunn. Episode six showed the dance imitating a swastika during a scene set in an alternate Nazi-controlled universe. The developer issued refunds to players who purchased the item. Epic investigated its partner's creative intentions following the episode's release. Gunn promoted the Fortnite crossover on social media before the show aired, but apparently withheld the gesture's meaning from the game studio. The incident raises questions about future partnerships between Epic and Warner Bros. Millions of players accessed the emote before its removal. [/QUOTE]
