'Gooning has been vaulted in Fortnite'—Epic stops certain emotes being used in proximity so that horny teenagers can no longer mock-hump each other

A screenshot of a fish man fromo the Fortnite Diner Tycoon trailer.

Fortnite has finally taken action against the scourge of hormonal teens everywhere, and stopped certain emotes in the game being used in close proximity. The emotes in question are all moves that, when combined with certain other moves, may make it look like the avatars are engaging in a sexual act. Despite being fully clothed and having no genitalia.

The new limits appear to apply to specific emotes such as "poki" and "party hips" being used in conjunction with the moves "bring it around" and "ride the pony." This is across all modes, and my favourite description of the change comes from one of the many unofficial Fortnite news accounts: "gooning has been vaulted in Fortnite."
