peepoIgnore

peepoIgnore is used to express intentionally ignoring something or someone in chat. It conveys a sense of deliberately looking away, avoiding a topic, or pretending not to see something. The emote can be used playfully to ignore bait, drama, or controversial topics in chat. It's often used humorously rather than maliciously, representing a conscious choice to disengage from certain conversations or situations.

peepoIgnore is part of the "pepe" family of emotes, derived from the original Pepe the Frog character created by Matt Furie in 2005. The "peepo" variant specifically emerged around 2017-2018 as a cuter, more innocent version of Pepe. This particular emote shows peepo deliberately looking away or turning his back, and became popular on platforms like BetterTTV and FrankerFaceZ around 2019-2020. It's a community-created emote that spread across various Twitch channels as streamers and viewers added it to their channel emote collections.

Common usage scenarios include:

• When chat is trying to bait the streamer or other viewers into drama
• Ignoring spoilers or unwanted information
• Playfully ignoring chat when they spam or act up
• Avoiding controversial topics or arguments in chat
• When the streamer or chat collectively decides to move past a certain subject
• Responding to cringe moments by pretending they didn't happen
• When someone is trying to get attention and chat collectively ignores them
