Thanks for this, a lot.

TL is like the Helm's Deep of the internet, the last stand of sane people versus the endless hordes of twitch chat trolls and other breeds of evil internet creatures.

All of this had me thinking... Does Kappa actually know what his name has become, since he doesn't work at justin.tv since quite a long time now ?

Twitch chat has to be gamers at their absolute worst, glad to see it won't spill over here.

it took me so long to figure out what Kappa was, I stopped using twitch chat in like 2011 T_T

I learned what Kappa was from this thread ... I had searched for it like a geek, no luck. I'm not surprised it's as stupid as it sounds.

I still don't know what it represents or what the joke is. Is it an emote of a Justintv staff guy that stuck it there for a laugh never expecting it to be spammed?

"Kappa" is (probably the nickname of) a former Justin.tv employee, called Josh in real life (no idea about family name). Here is his twitter: https://twitter.com/KappaJTV

Many emotes on JTV are the faces of current or former employees, but this guy's particular photo resembles somewhat the "trollface" meme. So JTV chat has accepted it as equivalent. It has grown outside of Justin or Twitch, and can be seen now in other text-based internet communication.

p.s. Notably, in Rollplay Warhammer 40k Dark Heresy (with JP, djWHEAT, iNcontrol & TB), Totalbiscuit's character is called Engelbart Kappa - although, of course, one could very well argue that it just fits the W40k theme, as TB gladly would.

Never noticed them on TL (then again I don't read the LR threads anymore due to work commitments and WCS killing ESPORTS), and never noticed twitch chat being anything but a fun place, although I do watch more speedrunning streams than sc2 nowadays. Cannot understand this other than that TL isn't twitch chat so posting FrankerZ has no real context.

Twitch chat is almost as bad as YouTube comments. I wish I was joking.

How about hashtags? Or at least posts that contain nothing but hashtagged insider phrases?
