I checked on him to see if he'd posted any thoughts and him being a Dota2 streamer now was not what I was expecting to find.

Twitch has removed the PogChamp emote (Update: Permanent replacement now chosen)
- Thread starter TheChungusAmongUs
- Start date
So did they ban gootecks himself from the platform?
I remember he was on one of those big twitch podcasts last year talking anti-vax nonsense.

So he somehow managed to sink even lower than Gootecks....my god.
As someone who has a variant of the original one as an avy, I'm glad they removed that guy.
Also, the self nominations of "influencers" are kinda cringe. The next Pog should be found, as always, organically.

I honestly wish we could take notes on who - among the biggest streamers - didnt say a single word about yesterday's events. Make a list. And then talk about how many of those people shot their shot with AOC. Because, again, I'm utterly frustrated with Ninja and Jessica. Angry even.
This stuff isn't an escape. Twitch isn't an escape. You have six million plus followers on Twitter. Tell them Trump's platform is wrong. You literally have 50+ million in your bank with nothing to lose.

Regarding Mike Ross, he isn't actually much better:

Mike Ross appears on Cross Counter TV w/ Gootecks and Slasher in "The Untitled Esports Show ep. 13"
If you're into fighting games or Cross Counter or Mike Ross at all this is a much watch. They cover what Mike Ross has been up to, Atika drama, Rick Fox drama, and OWL. They have very unique takes on race and outrage culture and I wonder what ERA has to think... anyway Mike + Gootecks are...

Mike Ross has some probably not super kosher opinions on things, but that's probably also part of the reason he self-ejected from the scene. He felt he was having to play a role/persona to get by instead of himself, whatever that meant. I think he considers (considered?) Gootecks one of his only real friends, so I wouldn't be super shocked if Mike stood up for him in all this.

many people on this very website thought the same thing ross did about etika
He might not, but he still showed up on Trainwrecks podcast 8 months ago going on his anti-vax rant and streamed last year on crosscounter.
yeah, as a guest
you would have to deplatform the people who invite him on, since deplatforming gootecks himself doesn't do what you think it does
So tell me what it does do because from my knowledge any banned streamer is not allowed to show up on any twitch streams, unless you're implying something else.
Surprised it took this long. I was actually kind of surprised that pogchamp resurfaced as a meme recently because all I ever really knew about the emote was that the guy was a shit head. Though I admittedly didn't remember why.
You just didn't know what to look out for; it was always there. I bet you could go rewatch Excellent Adventures and notice a bunch of questionable stuff.
Maybe! But again, Excellent Adventures never delved into politics. So it's hard to know if it was always there and he was sending off "dog whistles" that I (and many other viewers) missed, or if he was — as other posters have mentioned — more recently radicalized.
The thing is, Trihex did apologize. And he's definitely learned from his mistake.
Streamer Trihex Apologizes For Homophobic Slur After Twitch Suspends His Channel [UPDATE]
That the Trihard emote is being used by racist assholes should not be on him, the racists are the one who should be banned. Don't put this on him, one of the few Black people represented through emotes on Twitch itself.
There's a great interview with him that was taken around the election, by another Twitch channel, Hyper RPG.
Fair enough, I honestly did not know much about TriHex, and I agree that the racist use of the emote is not on him, no matter what he did. I'm glad he apologized for it and seemed to mean it though.
Possibly a DDOS by those fucknutsLooks like Twitch got hacked about 5 minutes ago. Retaliation by the alt-right?
This has been going on for days now before all this, site traffic is at an all time high. Not pog related.Looks like Twitch got hacked about 5 minutes ago. Retaliation by the alt-right?

Twitch has been breaking like this for like the past week or longer

I've seen the emote being used outside of Twitch before. Just out of curiosity, who is the guy being depicted in the emoji?
Always thought it was pretty shortsighted of Twitch to have so many emotes of actual people who could potentially damage their brand if they do anything stupid since their emotes are so synonymous with Twitch at this point. Sure enough, here we are. They should ditch all of those and get a graphic designer to create fictional ones not based on actual people.

ERA has no leg trying to call Ross out for Etika when so many people mocked him while he was having his mental breakdown
Trihex didn't learn or mean shit. He grifted his audience days later with a completely insincere stream event hyping up his own ass, refused to donate any of his raised funds from the event to any organization and to be completely honest, having been around him personally at events, he acted entitled to anything he wanted and his language matched up with how he got banned.
He isn't calebhart levels of shit because he needs to be banned from every event and stream for his gamergate styled transphobic bullshit but Trihex sure uses the same playbook to grift (not to mention how buddy buddy he is and has always been with Caleb).
BTTV won't be removing them, so I'd imagine a lot of people will just use that over FFZ.
I never understood how the extensions worked on Twitch. People who don't have them just see text?
Twitch could just ban those words from being typed into chat I suppose, if they cared about stopping its use.
BetterTTV
betterttv.com
They are user added so it would be a lot of effort to even try and do this, not worth the effort at all.
You can associate any word with the image on a per channel basis... for example I could upload a Pogchamp image to BTTV and use the keyword fireHawk12 when uploading then chose that to display on my channel when the word is typed
In that case, are there any rules on what extensions streamers can use while streaming?
I'd assume deliberately circumventing a banned emote should amount to some kind of rule violation, but I guess maybe not.
