TANTIES is a 7TV emote featuring a green Pepe the Frog character with an angry, tantrum-like expression. The emote portrays the frog with furrowed brows, an open mouth showing teeth, and raised arms in a position that suggests frustration or rage. The name 'TANTIES' is derived from the word 'tantrum,' representing a childish outburst of anger or frustration.
This emote appears to be one of many variations of Pepe the Frog that have become popular in Twitch culture. Pepe the Frog was originally created by artist Matt Furie in 2005 for his comic 'Boy's Club' and has since evolved into countless variations used across internet culture.
While specific information about who first created the TANTIES variant or when it was first uploaded to 7TV is limited, it follows in the tradition of other popular Pepe-based emotes like monkaS (which gained popularity around 2016-2017). The emote features the characteristic green frog wearing what appears to be a blue shirt, maintaining the recognizable Pepe style while conveying a specific emotional state.
TANTIES is typically used in Twitch chat in the following contexts:
The emote serves as a way for chat to comment on displays of frustration or anger, often in a lighthearted, teasing manner rather than with genuine malice.
