Chonkikage, a full-time non-binary streamer and graphic designer, decided to create some alternative Twitch emotes to combat Pepe the Frog
When streamer Chonkikage first joined Twitch, she knew already that Pepe The Frog was a hate symbol used by the alt-right.
Yet the prevalence of the little green frog across the platform made her question whether it had been reclaimed.
“When I first started streaming on Twitch and I saw Pepe emotes everywhere I was like, this is very weird,” she says. “But I noticed people were using it in friendly ways from my experience, so I was like oh maybe it’s reclaimed, maybe it’s been adopted, it’s part of the culture.”
