The SCATTER emote is a variation of the popular Pepe the Frog meme featuring multiple green Pepe frogs clustered together. This emote is used to represent a chaotic dispersal or scattering of people in a chat, often in response to something alarming, shocking, or when viewers are fleeing from a situation.
The emote shows several Pepe frogs with wide, sometimes concerned eyes, giving the impression of a crowd or group that's about to scatter or is in the process of scattering. The multiple frogs create a sense of movement and chaos.
SCATTER is derived from the iconic Pepe the Frog character, which was originally created by Matt Furie in his 2005 webcomic "Boy's Club." The original Pepe character gained immense popularity online, particularly on platforms like 4chan, before evolving into countless variations.
This specific multi-Pepe variation appears to be a community-created emote that gained popularity on third-party emote platforms like 7TV, BTTV (BetterTTV), or FrankerFaceZ. While the exact creator and first upload date of this specific variation isn't definitively documented, it emerged as part of the broader Pepe emote ecosystem that flourished on Twitch in the late 2010s.
Like many Pepe variations, it was likely created by the streaming community to fill a specific expressive need in Twitch chat that wasn't covered by existing emotes.

The emote effectively communicates a humorous "everyone run!" sentiment in Twitch chat.
