“#Twitch\u2019s rotating PogChamp is a clever replacement for the banned emote<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Days after Twitch removed the popular PogChamp emote, the streaming platform has announced that it will roll out a new face to replace it every 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Twitch got the idea from gaming personality Sean \u201cDay9\u201d Plott, who suggested plucking a random picture from a database of faces whenever someone types PogChamp.<\/p>\n

You know what? In the spirit of figuring out 2021 together, let\u2019s just roll with it for now! <\/p>\n

Get ready for a new PogChamp every 24 hours, starting today. https:\/\/t.co\/R16EyASsFx<\/a><\/p>\n

PogChamp\u00a0was banned last week after the person depicted in it called for further \u201ccivil unrest\u201d from the US Capitol rioters.<\/p>\n

Twitch pledged to work with the community on a replacement. But until a permanent successor is selected, the company will feature a rotating line-up of new faces.<\/p>\n

The first face to have the honor was that of Kenny \u201cUnrooolie\u201d McWild, a streamer who\u00a0announced his candidacy on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dear @Twitch<\/a> I would like to throw my name in the hat for the replacement of Pogchamp. it\u2019s a great idea from @SpawnOnMe<\/a> of replacing that emote pic.twitter.com\/FXmTBQCAYs<\/a><\/p>\n

The rotating replacement is a nice way of engaging the Twitch community that should protect the people featured in it from online harassment. It will also be easy to remove any individual emote if necessary.<\/p>\n

While a permanent replacement for PogChamp could still be on the horizon, Twitch\u2019s interim solution will help the spirit of Pog live on until then.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
