Fortnite called \u201csoft\u201d after adding feature to block \u201cconfrontational\u201d emotes FortniteFortnite is rolling out a setting that allows players to toggle \u201cconfrontational emotes\u201d off in a decision that is being called \u201csoft\u201d by some members of the community. Fortnite has been trying to make the game more family-friendly since partnering with LEGO at the end of 2023. This includes limiting certain cosmetics from game modes and creator maps. The upcoming April 23 update will go a step further by limiting what emotes are deemed as \u201cconfrontational.\u201d \u201cWe want emotes to be a source of good vibes, but a few (cough Take the L cough) can sometimes feel a bit overly confrontational. Tomorrow\u2019s update will introduce a new Confrontational Emotes setting to toggle visibility on these Emotes,\u201d the official Fortnite Twitter\/X shared on April 22. This feature aims to prevent emotes like \u201cLaugh It Up\u201d, \u201cTake the L\u201d, \u201cWhipcrack\u201d and \u201cMake It Plantain\u201d from being shown if it is toggled on. The community has already started sharing their thoughts on the new update. With a majority of the fan base calling the decision \u201csoft.\u201d \u201cWhat\u2019s the point, who\u2019s getting offended by emotes lol,\u201d said Fortnite creator PeQu. \u201cLMAO we are so doomed,\u201d agreed former Fortnite streamer CourageJD. Fortnite notes that this setting won\u2019t prevent players from using any emotes. This is unlike the changes made to cosmetics which will prevent their usage in certain modes. However, for those curious about turning this feature on after tomorrow\u2019s update, it can be found in the social privacy settings. There will be three toggle options including never, from friends in party, and from anyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
