Let me remind you that this smug face belongs to former Twitch developer Josh DeSuno. In 2009, when Josh was developing a chat client, he decided to create an Easter egg with his image. In fact, many of his colleagues did the same thing, but they did not become as popular. The image was opened only when someone typed a given word in the chat.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
But the original meaning of the emote name does not coincide at all with either the image or the meaning of the meme. Kappa is more than just a Twitch emoji. It is unlikely that DeSuno wanted to put any meaning in the “Easter egg” (except for his fun). However, the expression on his face in the photo came out a little smug, and it became a visual cue for users. It is not known who was the first to use Kappa to express sarcasm and ridicule, but over time, the smiley began to mean just that. DeSino says that it took about six months to establish the generally accepted meaning in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, Justin.Tv was the predecessor of Twitch. The origin of Kappa dates back to this time. It was a very early live streaming website. It was named after Justin Kav. With a camera attached to his face, he was one of the first leaders of life streamers. The Internet site was created to broadcast his stream and allow people to watch his interesting life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Team Kappa’s choice is based on DeSino’s love of Japanese mythology. Initially, a kappa is a water imp with a beak, shell, and a dish of water on its head. It seems harmless, but it is a monster, pulling out the mind and souls of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mythic Emote Kappa Twitch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Ultimately, the popularity of Kappa allowed the developers of the Twitch platform to create versions of the Easter egg called Golden Kappa. Few people know how to get a Golden Kappa. However, it is worth noting that it is given to users at random. It is available within 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many rumors about how to get a gold Kappa. The safest way is to try writing Kappa every day in different threads. Surely it will be your turn to get it. It should be consumed in moderation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Currently, Kappa’s use is limited to Twitch, however, the culture of the meme continues to grow, as does its global presence. It took too little time for the picture, which accidentally became the most popular on the portal, spread throughout the Internet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
