The presence of D4vd's 'Feel It' emote in Fortnite is deeply personal to many, including myself. To some, this emote is not just a harmless digital dance; it represents a painful reminder of trauma endured through past abuse. Fortnite is supposed to be an escape, a digital paradise where players can immerse themselves in creativity, competition, and fun—far from the harsh realities of the world. However, with this emote, the safe haven is shattered by an unwelcome reminder of past horrors.

While it might be an entertaining feature for many, we must be considerate towards those for whom it unleashes distressing memories. Growing evidence supports the idea that games are supposed to be inclusive and considerate environments, safe for players of all backgrounds and experiences. According to research, immersive environments like Fortnite must foster safety and empathy, ensuring everyone can play without fear or anxiety.

We urge Epic Games to reconsider the inclusion of 'Feel It' and act towards removing it from the game. This action speaks volumes about prioritizing player welfare and creating an inclusive environment. It is crucial to accommodate those who face trauma and make Fortnite a sanctuary again.

Please join me in signing this petition to urge Epic Games to take these concerns seriously and act swiftly to remove D4vd's 'Feel It' emote from Fortnite, making it the peaceful escape it's meant to be for everyone. Your signature can contribute to reshaping Fortnite into the positive refuge it has always strived to be.
