I recently realized that GunRun isn’t available as a global emote on Twitch anymore. I remember seeing it frequently across various channels, but now it seems to have vanished. Can anyone explain what happened? Was there a controversy or situation that caused its removal? I’m puzzled since it was such a widely used emote. Has Twitch made any formal statement regarding this change, or did they remove it quietly without any notice? I’m also curious to know if others are experiencing the same thing or if it’s just an issue with my account.
Yeah, GunRun got axed when Twitch cleaned up their global emotes. They’ve been quietly removing ones that don’t fit their current brand or guidelines. I used GunRun all the time in chat - losing it really sucked and left a weird gap in conversations. What’s annoying is how Twitch handles this stuff - they just delete emotes without warning or explaining why. Your account’s fine; the emote’s gone for everyone. Classic Twitch move - make changes behind closed doors and expect us to deal with it.
yeah, i noticed it too not long ago. it’s strange how twitch has been takin away popular emotes without a word. gunrun was a fave for many! you might wanna see if it’s still around as a BTTV or FFZ emote on some streams.
GunRun was indeed removed from the global emote list not long ago, and it seems Twitch chose not to provide any formal announcement regarding the change. This isn’t a rare occurrence for Twitch, as they sometimes update their emote roster based on their evolving guidelines. While there wasn’t a particular controversy surrounding GunRun’s removal, it likely didn’t align with their current policies. Many users have been expressing their confusion over this, and you’re definitely not alone in noticing its absence.
This happened a few months ago and caught tons of streamers off guard since GunRun was basically part of regular chat culture. Twitch did a big sweep of their global emotes around that time and axed several without explaining why. It wasn’t because of any drama - just seemed like part of their usual content moderation changes. I’ve seen some channels using custom versions through third-party extensions, but you can’t use it globally anymore. Really annoying when popular emotes just vanish without Twitch explaining what’s going on.
