SadgeCry

SadgeCry is a variant of the popular Sadge emote, which itself is derived from the Pepe the Frog character. This particular emote shows Pepe with a dejected expression and blue tears streaming down his face, representing an intensified version of sadness or disappointment. The blue tears and exaggerated sad expression make it more emotionally charged than the standard Sadge emote.

The emote is used to express extreme sadness, disappointment, or emotional distress in Twitch chat. It's essentially the crying version of Sadge, conveying a more dramatic emotional response to unfortunate events happening on stream.

SadgeCry is based on Pepe the Frog, a character that originated from Matt Furie's "Boy's Club" webcomic in the early 2000s. The base Sadge emote (without tears) was created by Twitch user Redshell and gained popularity in January 2020 when it was introduced to Twitch streaming culture.

The SadgeCry variant emerged as users wanted a more emotionally expressive version of Sadge, adding tears to emphasize deeper sadness. Like many Pepe variants, it evolved through community modifications and became popular on third-party emote platforms.

SadgeCry is not a native Twitch emote but is available through third-party extensions like 7TV, BetterTTV (BTTV), and FrankerFaceZ (FFZ). These platforms allow streamers to enable custom emotes like SadgeCry for use in their chat.

SadgeCry is typically used in Twitch chat in the following situations:

• When a streamer experiences a particularly devastating loss in a game
• During emotional moments in a stream, such as a sad story being shared
• When a streamer's favorite team or player loses an important match
• When something goes terribly wrong during a stream (technical issues, missed opportunities)
• To express empathy when a streamer is visibly upset or disappointed
• Sometimes used ironically to overreact to minor inconveniences for comedic effect

The emote is often spammed in chat during these moments, creating a collective expression of sadness or disappointment among viewers. It can be used both sincerely to express genuine emotions or ironically to add humor to a situation.
