‘Fortnite’ Disables Alleged Nazi ‘Peacemaker’ Emote After Show Reveal
Epic Games disabled the Peaceful Hips emote after fans noted its arm movements resembled a swastika, reflecting concerns tied to Peacemaker’s recent Nazi-themed storyline.
- On September 28, 2025, Epic Games disabled Fortnite's Peaceful Hips Emote following controversy over its dance design linked to Peacemaker.
- The removal responded to fan concerns that the emote's arm movements resembled a swastika, prompting Epic to investigate their partner's creative intentions.
- The emote was part of a DC Peacemaker collaboration coinciding with an episode revealing a Nazi alternate dimension, which increased scrutiny of the dance's symbolism.
- Epic announced that it will provide refunds to players who bought the 400 V-bucks emote after disabling the Peaceful Hips Emote while investigating the creative intentions behind their collaborator's design.
- The investigation is still underway, but both industry experts and Epic indicate that the emote probably will not be reinstated due to concerns about cultural insensitivity connected to the collaboration.
