NOPERS

NOPERS is a popular Twitch emote that expresses strong disagreement, rejection, or refusal in a humorous way. It's essentially an emphatic way of saying "nope" or "absolutely not" to something that appears uncomfortable, frightening, or undesirable on stream. The emote features Pepe the Frog (a widely used internet meme character) with an anxious expression, turning away as if wanting no part in whatever is happening.

The NOPERS emote was first uploaded to BetterTTV (BTTV), a third-party Twitch extension, by a user named Quieto on May 19, 2020. The emote is part of the broader "Pepe emote" family that has become deeply entrenched in Twitch culture. While not a default Twitch emote, NOPERS gained popularity through third-party extensions including BTTV, 7TV, and FrankerFaceZ (FFZ), making it widely accessible to users with these add-ons installed.

The emote features Pepe the Frog, a character created by Matt Furie that has evolved into countless variations within internet culture, particularly in streaming communities. This specific variation shows Pepe with a worried expression, turning away from something undesirable.

NOPERS is typically used in Twitch chat in the following situations:

• When a streamer suggests doing something risky, dangerous, or potentially embarrassing
• In response to uncomfortable or awkward moments during a stream
• When viewers want to express strong disagreement with an idea or suggestion
• During scary gameplay moments when something frightening appears
• As a reaction to bad decisions or poor gameplay choices
• When rejecting an unfavorable proposition or suggestion in chat

The emote effectively communicates a sense of avoidance or wanting no part in what's happening, making it a popular choice for expressing rejection in a humorous way.
