Fortnite is not just famous for its BattleRoyale gameplay.
They are also mostly known for their emotes
especially their dance emotes.
So here are 5 best known dances in Fortnite
and Lawsuits.
Number 1
Dance Moves
This is the first and default dance everyone
gets.
So yes it is the best known dance in the game.
It might have been overused but its still
a good dance.
This dance originated from a dance by Turk
portrayed by Donald Faison from the tv series
'Scrubs'.
Though no lawsuits were filed, Faison made
it clear that he wasn't happy that his dance
got stolen without his consent.
Number 2
Floss
Floss is a dance move that literally became
viral overnight.
It became viral when performed by the infamous
"Backpack Kid" during Katy Perry's performance
in the 'SNL' season finale.
From some research, he's not the first one
to do the dance.
But he was definitely the one who made it
known.
Currently the dance emote is not obtainable
anymore and there's a lawsuit regarding it
happening right now made by his mother.
Number 3
Fresh
This dance came from Carlton Banks played
by Alfonso Ribeiro in Fresh Prince of Belaire.
It was said that it was inspired by Courtney
Cox in Bruce Sprinsteen's Dancing in the Dark
video.
Currently Alfonso Ribeiro, has also filed
suit against Epic games for stealing his dance
moves.
He was definitely not happy that his dance
is in the game.
Number 4
Orange Justice
There was a contest called the "BoogieDown"
contest for Fortnite fans to submit their
own dances in hopes to win a chance to be
added into the game.
The dance made my the Orange Shirt kid wasn't
the winner but that made the Fortnite community
unhappy.
So they apparently made a petition and gathered
thousands of people to sign it.
Thus, the Orange Shirt Kid was acknowledge
and the emote was made.
But now there's a lawsuit regarding it.
This time by the Orange kid's mother.
I think this one is uncalled for as his dance
was actually submitted for the contest which
means he knew it could be made into an emote
from the get go.
Number 5
Swipe It
Swipe it is another dance that has a lawsuit
filed.
2 Milly considered filing a lawsuit in November
and sure enough he followed through with it
in December 2018.
The same reasoning has been made as the other
lawsuits mentioned earlier.
Their reasoning is that Epic Games capitalised
their dances by copying the dances and movements
without any consent.
Interestingly, all these lawsuits are handled
by the same law firm.
They're definitely milking it.
*cow mooing sound*
But we'll see how it goes.
