Fortnite Emote disabled after the hilarious discovery of NSF
Fortnite: Battle Royale is a game filled with emoticons - it is a key element of the monetization of the game. Flashy and stylistic artistic direction is adopted by these emoticons, many of them (especially dances) becoming pillars Internet culture. This is one of the main reasons why Fortnite has become the emblematic game we all know today.
But an abundance of emoticons has a disadvantage. When communication options are limited, players will endeavor to exceed these limits. And in an environment like this, it was just a matter of time before players do what they do best. The Emote Bear Hug provided the opening that people were looking for.

This interesting scientific discovery was created by combining the hug with a crouching at the right time - two simple ingredients with an unforgettable result.
Needless to say, Epic Games was not very happy. The players took a very healthy emote and gave him a sudden and less healthy turn. The corrupt emotion existed only a few hours before EPIC unplugs the outlet, disabling it and deleting it from their shop at stake.
Given the target demographics of Fortnite, it was probably a reasonable choice.
The publication on Twitter announcing the suppression of the emotor was not very detailed (for obvious reasons) and a refund policy has been put in place for those with the misfortune to be removed.
The Emote Bear Hug will remain disabled while we solve a problem with the emote.
Players who have already bought the emote will be able to make a rebate without token next week.

This announcement, however, disappointed number of players. The emote has been withdrawn so quickly after its release that many have never had the chance to use it. Some players even stated that they preferred to keep the emotive now disabled on their account, for various reasons.
At the very least, they said that the emotive would be disabled only temporarily. Once the NSFW elements of the Emote Bear Hug cut out, the players will be welcomed again in the healthy pleasure of a cozy hug.
