Many popular streamers, especially on platforms like Twitch, have unique "emotes" that their viewers can use in chat. One of the most famous and widely recognized is the "Kappa" emote. This greyscale image of a smirking face is actually a photo of Josh Desano, a former employee of Justin.tv (the predecessor to Twitch) who worked on the platform's chat client! It's a little inside joke that became an iconic part of streaming culture.
