MonkaS is one of the most recognizable Twitch emotes featuring Pepe the Frog sweating profusely, used to signify intense anxiety, nervousness, or high-pressure situations. The emote first appeared on the 4chan board /lit/ in 2011 but gained massive popularity around 2016 when it was uploaded to the FrankerFaceZ Twitch extension. It became a staple in the community of streamer Forsen and has since transcended Twitch to become a universal internet shorthand for being in a pickle. Whether a gamer is facing a difficult boss or someone is waiting for a risky text reply, MonkaS perfectly captures that feeling of impending doom and overwhelming stress.
