A simple tweet flew out of the Fortune Twitter account. “The squad that emotes together, stays together.” But somehow, this tweet initiated a massive community meltdown. The replies? Absolute craziness. The players are demanding everything from classic old animations for emotes to Darth Jar Jar skins and honestly, that vibe.
Now about the emotes. Just the tweet teasing a now scrapped version of Crazy Feet, an emote usually not really associated with dancing silliness, is enough to send these people into frenzy. @sooper_sage commented: “Why would anyone buy this? The current version is far better.” Meanwhile, @dan42418180 begged, “Can we have that audio instead of the current one please?” That was it: Epic Games just pulled out the nostalgia bait and ran away, leaving the players in tears.
Then there are the skin requests. Oh, boy. @Ethan_Midoriya screamed, “PLEASE ADD NEW MY HERO ACADEMIA SKINS!!” Meanwhile, @Tea1075 mysteriously trolled a little with the words, “Devil may cry.” Just vibes. And let’s not forget the sarcastic @Dankmemeboi5684 who said, “Unlike how my Vbucks don’t stay together when Darth Jar Jar comes out,” relentless alright.
But wait, there’s more. Fixes! @ZeropointB called out Epic for ranked backblings that don’t show ranks in normal BR mode, and then @quargehb was like, “Give us OG mechanics, like moving while chugging minis.” Then @InvestorHex got even angrier with, “No they don’t stay together when one of them crashes out! Fix your game!” Ouch.
Then…and there were the bots. Random accounts began spamming Chinese text (roughly translated as: “the squad that emotes together, stays together”) and sketchy links. Classic Twitter.
The funnies? @Lil_ECMC jumped in all the while with, “Petition to use our Jam tracks as MVP in Ballistic?” Because, why not really? The Fortnite community is a fabulous mess of chaos, nostalgia, and sheer desperation for collaborations.
So now what? Probably nothing. Epic’s Twitter squad is probably chilling with lattes while watching the circus go down. But hey, when Darth Jar Jar would drop, we’ll know who to thank.
Meanwhile, put on the good hats, spam the emotes, and pray your game doesn’t crash. That’s how to speak Fortnite, baby.
