peepoKiss is used to express affection, love, appreciation, or wholesome feelings towards streamers, other chatters, or moments during a stream. It's a way to send virtual kisses and show endearment in a cute, non-romantic way. The emote conveys warmth, support, and positive vibes, making it popular for expressing gratitude or showing love to the community. It's considered one of the more wholesome and friendly emotes in Twitch culture.
peepoKiss is part of the "peepo" emote family, which are variations of Pepe the Frog drawn in a cuter, more wholesome style. The peepo variants were created by Discord user Adjagas in 2017. The peepoKiss emote specifically features the adorable peepo character making a kissing face with hearts floating above, representing affection and love. It became popular on Twitch through third-party extensions like FrankerFaceZ (FFZ) and BetterTTV (BTTV) starting around 2018-2019, and has since become one of the most widely used wholesome emotes in Twitch chat culture.
