Fortnite Introduces Option to Block 'Confrontational' Emotes

Epic Games rolls out a new feature allowing players to hide specific emotes deemed toxic, enhancing the gaming environment.

Epic Games introduces a setting to block four specific emotes in Fortnite, including 'Laugh it Up' and 'Take the L', in response to player feedback on toxicity.
The new 'See Confrontational Emotes' setting allows players to choose visibility options for these emotes, ranging from no restrictions to completely blocking them from view.
The update aims to reduce toxic interactions in-game, providing a friendlier atmosphere for players.
Affected emotes have been associated with negative behaviors and, in some cases, prejudice, prompting the change.
This feature is part of a broader effort by Epic Games to promote positive interactions within Fortnite's diverse player base.
