RAGEY is an emote featuring a close-up of a cat's face with wide, intense eyes against a red background, conveying extreme anger, frustration, or rage. The emote is used to express intense emotions, particularly when viewers or streamers are feeling frustrated or angry about something happening in a stream.
Origin

It gained popularity on third-party emote platforms like 7TV, BTTV (BetterTTV), or FFZ (FrankerFaceZ) before becoming widely recognized in Twitch culture. The red background enhances the sense of rage or anger being conveyed by the cat's expression.
