Kadse is used to express coolness, confidence, or a laid-back attitude in chat. Similar to other "sunglasses" emotes, it conveys a sense of being unfazed, chill, or nonchalant about a situation. The emote can be used to react to impressive plays, smooth moves, or whenever someone wants to express that they're being cool or casual about something. It's essentially the cat equivalent of the "deal with it" meme, allowing chatters to respond with feline swagger to various situations in stream.
Kadse is a custom emote featuring a cat wearing sunglasses, creating a "cool cat" or "deal with it" style image. This emote appears to be a community or channel-specific emote, likely originating from a German-speaking streamer or community, as "Kadse" is a dialectal/colloquial German word for "Katze" (cat). The emote follows the popular internet meme format of animals wearing sunglasses to convey confidence or coolness. While the exact upload date and original channel are not definitively known from the image alone, this style of emote became popular on platforms like BetterTTV, FrankerFaceZ, and 7TV throughout the 2010s and early 2020s, as custom emotes featuring pets and animals with humorous accessories gained widespread adoption in Twitch culture.
Kadse is typically used when: a streamer or player pulls off something impressive or smooth; someone wants to express confidence or coolness; reacting to a chill or relaxed moment on stream; responding to drama or controversy with a "whatever" attitude; celebrating a win or success with casual confidence; or when the chat wants to collectively express a laid-back, unbothered vibe. It's particularly common in German-speaking Twitch communities but can be used in any context where a "cool cat" reaction is appropriate.
