PLEASE

The "PLEASE" emote depicts a cat with teary eyes and clasped paws in a begging or pleading posture. This emote conveys an exaggerated sense of desperation, pleading, or begging for something. The emotional, sad-looking cat face amplifies the dramatic nature of a request, making it a perfect visual representation of someone desperately wanting something.

The "PLEASE" emote originated from a widely circulated internet meme featuring a cat with a tearful expression and paws that appear to be clasped together in a begging position. This image format became popular on the internet in the late 2010s and was frequently used with captions expressing desperate or exaggerated requests.

The image was later adopted as an emote on 7TV, an open-source emote platform that allows streamers to use additional custom emotes in their chats beyond what Twitch natively offers. 7TV hosts over a million public emotes, with "PLEASE" being one of its popular offerings. The exact date of its first upload to 7TV is not specified, but it gained traction as part of the broader cat-themed emote culture that's particularly popular in Twitch communities.

The "PLEASE" emote is commonly used in the following contexts:

• When viewers want to playfully beg a streamer to do something specific (like play a certain game, character, or song)
• During giveaways or when requesting something from the streamer
• To humorously emphasize a request in chat, making it feel lighthearted rather than demanding
• During tense or high-stakes moments in streams, such as clutch gaming scenarios
• When viewers are collectively pleading for the streamer to make a particular decision
• To express mock desperation in a humorous way

The emote adds a dramatic but comedic tone to requests in chat, making it a popular choice across Twitch, YouTube, and other streaming platforms that support 7TV emotes.
