Despite never having streamed outside of YouTube, her likeness is being used to wave at other streamers. Emotes are a way for the chat to communicate with a streamer without having to use actual words. In fact, many streamers have emotes that viewers are intended to use during specific moments, such as when a streamer does something embarrassing or funny. On Twitch, viewers can use universal emotes provided by the platform, or they can use channel-specific emotes if they are a paid subscriber. The number of emotes a streamer has available depends on how many subscribers they have. However, users can download a the BetterTTV browser extension to gain access to a large library of user-created emotes. These emotes can be used on both Twitch and YouTube. The extension also includes one of Gura\u2019s now-deleted emotes. Gura feels \u201cweird\u201d about the GuraWave emote Gawr Gura is a Vtuber who joined YouTube in 2020 and has amassed a following of 3.7 million subscribers. She\u2019s also a member of Hololive, and can be found regularly playing games live to thousands of viewers. At the end of a recent stream, Gura discussed her feelings about Twitch and why she prefers chatting with her viewers on YouTube. \u201cI feel like Twitch chat is less conversation and more just massive walls of emotes. It\u2019s just different.\u201d During this discussion, Gura shared her thoughts on the GuraWave emote. \u201cI do know about the GuraWave emote on Twitch. I have seen it before. GuraWave, that\u2019s always a bit weird.\u201d GuraWave emote history The GuraWave emote isn\u2019t one of Gura\u2019s current emotes, but it was for a brief period of time in 2020. During the rise of Gura, they had received emotes from an artist who was known for tracing artwork of others and passing it off as their own. Gura\u2019s community was quick to notify both the streamer and Hololive that the new emotes were traced. Within an hour, the emotes \u2013 along with the original GuraWave \u2013 were removed from the channel.

While the emote artist wanted to remain anonymous, their work will live on via BTTV regardless of whether Gura wants them to or not.
