Overview

• Fortnite’s status account said on September 28 that the Peaceful Hips emote was disabled as Epic inquires into its partner’s “creative intentions.”
• The emote recreates a portion of Peacemaker season 2’s opening dance tied to John Cena’s character.
• Media coverage and fans have linked a pose in the choreography to apparent extremist symbolism, though Epic has not provided a specific reason beyond the ongoing review.
• Epic stated it will issue refunds in the coming days if the emote is not reinstated, after the item spent less than two weeks in the Item Shop.
• Reporters note the review may reflect limited advance coordination on the show’s latest episodes, a point raised as speculation rather than a confirmed cause.
