He might win. But everyone else hates him for being a. . . . well, he's your son, so. . . 
But then, TECHnically, it was your idea, so.

"And fuck your mom, too." Classic.
My son and I were talking about that phenomenon this morning on the way to school, how every online gamer in the world has "done your mom." He knows the meme.
Anyway, I told him that I had a lot of girlfriends in the 80s, before I got married. And I said, "Conceivably, many of them have gamer kids, now. So when I tell someone online that I did their mom, there is a non-zero percentage chance that it's actually true."

I've had the same thought many times. "You're just talking shit, but I could, in fact, be your father."

Dunno if you’re following the incoming comet storyline. Looks like they’re planning to destroy Tilted Toeers. My son saw several meteors hit today. Lots of tvs on roofs and stuff.

Obviously fake, but even Musk retweeted it.

My kid has turned against that fandom.

Yep. He's pretty sensitive to the whims of the internet.

But didn't he just steal his dance from Courtney Cox?

No idea.
I do know these lawsuits are piling up. Everyone and their brother is now suing Epic Games over these dances that were created with the intent of selling them to players. Point being, they made money off of these dances without permission from the creators. It would be much different if they were just in the game, but these are specially purchased items.
Here's just a top 10 list of fortnite dances and where they're from...keep in mind that I believe there are around 131 dances...
So one has to wonder what effect these lawsuits could have on the Epic Games store?

That's probably going to hurt his lawsuit.

Are dances moves even considered IP?

First, unless he had a very unique contract, the IP would belong to the production company that employed him at the time.
And second, I'm pretty sure you can't trademark a simple dance like that. See: https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ52. ... cle_inline
e: and third, as posted above, there appears to be prior art out in the wild (Courtney Cox's dance in that Bruce Springsteen video) The owner would have to prove they added something novel to that original dance
Only people making money here are the lawyers filing briefs on both sides.
