Evilge

Evilge represents a mischievous, scheming, or playfully malicious mood. It's used to convey that someone is planning something devious, being intentionally provocative, or taking pleasure in chaos or trolling. The emote suggests a knowing, calculated evil rather than genuine malice - it's more about being a playful troublemaker than actually wishing harm. Chat members use it when they're about to say something controversial, when enjoying drama, or when the streamer is doing something sneaky or underhanded in a game.

Evilge is a variation of the Pepe the Frog meme, specifically based on the original 'Pog' or 'PogChamp' emote style. This emote depicts Pepe with a mischievous, scheming expression - featuring narrowed eyes and a slight smirk. The name 'Evilge' is a play on 'evil' combined with the common Pepe emote naming convention ending in 'ge' (like Sadge, Madge, etc.). This emote likely originated in the late 2010s or early 2020s as part of the broader Pepe emote family that became popular on platforms like BetterTTV, FrankerFaceZ, and 7TV. The Pepe variations exploded in popularity after the original PogChamp emote was removed from Twitch in 2021, leading to countless derivative Pepe expressions.

Evilge is commonly used when: a streamer is plotting revenge in a game; someone in chat is about to make a controversial or spicy take; viewers are enjoying drama or conflict (in games or otherwise); the streamer is being intentionally toxic or BM (bad manners) to opponents; chat is collectively trolling the streamer; someone admits to doing something morally questionable but funny; during 'villain arc' moments when a normally wholesome streamer does something mean; or when chat is anticipating chaos or mischief about to unfold.
