“We will work with the community to design a new emote for the most hype moments on Twitch,” Twitch said on Twitter Wednesday. Earlier Wednesday, pro-Trump protesters stormed the Capitol building, delaying a vote to certify the results of the 2020 election. Twitch’s decision to ban PogChamp was made after the face depicted in the emote, professional Street Fighter player Ryan “Gootecks” Gutierrez, published tweets Wednesday questioning whether more “civil unrest” would take place after a woman was shot at the Capitol. Mark Zuckerberg applied a ton of sunscreen to ride a 12,000 electric surfboard, and memes have compared him to everything from the Joker to Mrs. “Poggers,” the shortened version of the emote, has taken off as a general meme expressing surprise over the last few years. PogChamp, or “poggers,” has become synonymous with gaming culture and streaming platforms like Twitch due to its popularity. The PogChamp emote is one of the oldest on Twitch and is widely used by viewers to display excitement in stream chats. We've made the decision to remove the PogChamp emote following statements from the face of the emote encouraging further violence after what took place in the Capitol today.- Twitch January 7, 2021
