What does PopCorn mean?

PopCorn Twitch emote

PopCorn is a red-and-white bucket of popcorn. Chat posts it when drama starts, when a fight is entertaining and they are not in it, or when a story is about to get good and they would like everyone to sit down. It is the spectator emote. HSCheers is a drink with the players. PopCorn is a snack with the audience.

Origin

Drawn global. The bucket is the classic movie one, which is why it means 'I am watching' even in a game that has no theater. Post it when you are opting out of the argument and into the broadcast. Posting it in the middle of your own argument means you think you are the show. Sometimes you are.

When to use PopCorn

  • Drama, a fight, or a story getting good
  • Watching, not participating
  • A reveal, a confrontation, or a patch-note reading
  • When you want a seat and not a side
