Twitch has removed the popular PogChamp emote from its platform after community uproar over a series of Tweets from Ryan "Gootecks" Gutierrez, whose face is the basis for the emote.


The emote was removed because the statements from the face of the emote encouraged further violence after what took place on January 6 in Washington DC. Gootecks claimed he had a gruesome video that he aimed to make public, but Twitter wouldn't allow him to post the link. Some questioned whether his tweets were meant to show sympathy for rioters who disrupted American politics and forced evacuations. The tweets about the video were quickly circulated, and Twitch community members called for its removal. A few hours later, Twitch pulled the emote from the site.

This isn't the first instance in which Gootecks has written concerning tweets, but it is the one that seemed to be the breaking point for the Twitch community. Gootecks has previously railed against the proliferation of masks despite unaminous scientific agreement that they are helpful in keeping people safe.

witch removes PogChamp after Gootecks draws controversy
Twitch has said that they will work with the community to find a new emote for the most hype moments on Twitch, but PogChamp is no longer available.

Gootecks was the co-founder of Cross Counter TV and a former pro Street Fighter player. The emote came to be after a video uploaded in 2011 that featured him. In the video called "Pogs Championship," which was for a MadCatz-brand joystick, Gootecks played a popular disk-flipping game in the early 1990s. At the end of the video, Gootecks wins by dropping a joystick onto a stack of Pogs, making him the Pog champion, which is where the emote's name originated from.

In 2012, Twitch added an image of a surprised face of Gootecks and called it PogChamp. The face was made after some expensive camera equipment was nearly knocked over on the set. "PogChamp" has since become one of the most used bits of slang in the Twitch community, with people often shortening it to "Pog" or "Poggers," and even saying it out loud during broadcasts. Gootecks even capitalized on the popularity of the emote by selling a t-shirt with the image.

Twitch has announced that it will remove the popular "PogChamp" emote from its service following a tweet made by Ryan 'Gootecks' Gutierrez, whom the emote is based on, which "encouraged further violence" following today's insurgency on Capitol Hill.
Today, during the legislative confirmation of the electoral votes for Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 Presidential Election, President Trump's supporters rushed, and briefly occupied the Capitol building, forcing Senators and House legislatures to barricade themselves or leave the premises for safety.

During these events, Gutierrez tweeted a statement about the events on Capitol Hill that appeared to call for further violence during the takeover.
Will there be civil unrest for the woman who was executed inside the Capitol today or will the die in vain?" Gutierrez tweeted.

In a statement to IGN from a Twitch spokesperson, the company announced, "We've made the decision to remove the PogChamp emote following statements from the face of the emote encouraging further violence after what took place in the Capitol today."
The company added, "We want the sentiment and use of Pog to live on — its meaning is much bigger than the person depicted or image itself — and it has a big place in Twitch culture. However, we can't in good conscience continue to enable use of the image. We will work with the community to design a new emote for the most hype moments on Twitch."
