"This whole thing started after the alternate universe that John Cena's Chris Smith has been exploring this season was revealed to be one in which Hitler's Germany won WWII and America is now run by Nazis. If you then went back and looked at the dance in the Peaceful Hips Fortnite emote, which is supposed to be the one Cena does in the season 2 intro, you can sort of see that maybe there's a swastika in there somewhere if you overlay multiple freeze frames."
""We've worked closely with our partners at Warner Bros. Games to confirm there were no creative intentions to connect the Peaceful Hips Emote and the current Peacemaker storyline," the Fortnite account on X posted on Wednesday. "To avoid any confusion, we're modifying the Emote choreography in next week's update. If they prefer, players can return the Emote without using a ticket.""
Epic Games removed the Peaceful Hips emote amid concerns it resembled a swastika after Peacemaker season 2 revealed an alternate-universe Nazi-run America. Epic investigated the emote with Warner Bros. Games and concluded there were no creative intentions linking the emote to the Peacemaker storyline. Epic will modify the emote's choreography to avoid confusion and will return the emote to Fortnite during the October 9 reset. Players who prefer can return the emote without using a ticket. Observers pointed out the possible resemblance by overlaying multiple freeze frames, suggesting a coincidental alignment rather than deliberate design.
