pepePoint

pepePoint is a variant of the popular Pepe the Frog emote that shows a crudely drawn Pepe pointing his finger, typically to the right. This emote is used to draw attention to something specific in a Twitch chat or to highlight a particular moment during a stream.

The emote features the distinctive green face of Pepe with exaggerated features, including bulging eyes, a wide grin showing teeth, and most importantly, an extended arm with a pointing finger. The pointing gesture is the defining characteristic that gives this emote its name and function.

pepePoint is derived from Pepe the Frog, a character originally created by artist Matt Furie in 2005 for his comic series "Boy's Club." Over time, Pepe evolved into countless variations across internet culture.

This specific pointing variant belongs to the "Peepo" family of emotes, which are simplified, often crudely drawn versions of Pepe. The Peepo style traces back to the "Apu Apustaja" (Help Helper) meme featuring a poorly drawn Pepe, which became popular around 2016-2017.

pepePoint specifically gained popularity as a third-party emote on platforms like 7TV, BetterTTV (BTTV), and FrankerFaceZ (FFZ), which allow Twitch users to add custom emotes beyond the official Twitch offerings. While there isn't a documented specific date for pepePoint's creation, it became widely used in Twitch communities around 2018-2019 as part of the broader explosion of Pepe/Peepo variant emotes.

pepePoint is commonly used in the following contexts:

• Directing attention: When viewers want to highlight something specific in the stream or in chat
• Reactions to noteworthy moments: When something interesting or significant happens that deserves attention
• Indicating agreement: To point out that someone else in chat has made a good point
• Creating chains: Sometimes viewers will spam the emote to create a pointing chain, especially when something is happening at the edge of the screen
• Referencing memes: Often used alongside text to emphasize a point or joke

The emote is particularly popular in gaming streams where viewers want to highlight specific gameplay moments, mistakes, or achievements.
