DansGame is a Twitch emote used to express disgust, disapproval, or general distaste towards something happening on stream or in chat. The emote features a man's face making a grimacing or disgusted expression.
Origin
The emote originates from the Twitch streamer DansGaming. The image is a reaction from DansGaming himself, captured during one of his streams. DansGame was added to Twitch's global emote list in 2010, making it one of the platform's oldest and most iconic emotes. The emote quickly became popular due to its clear expression of revulsion or displeasure.
When to use
DansGame is typically used in chat when something gross, cringeworthy, or otherwise unpleasant occurs on stream. Examples include a streamer eating something unappetizing, encountering a bug or glitch, or when chat finds a topic or action distasteful. It can also be used sarcastically to exaggerate minor annoyances.
