James Gunn baffled over Fortnite’s Peacemaker dance emote controversy

In late September, news broke that Epic Games was pulling a Fortnite character emote drawn from the dance intro sequence of James Gunn’s Peacemaker season 2 over concerns that the choreography might be meant to evoke a swastika. That concern emerged after a point in the show where John Cena’s character learned that in the alternate dimension he was exploring, the Nazis triumphed in World War II, leading to a civilization built around white supremacy. The emote was eventually re-released in a modified form.
