emotes
Overdoes theatrical display
Emotes are small images or animations used in online communication, especially on gaming platforms and streaming services like Twitch.
They function like emoji but are platform-specific and often feature faces, characters, or inside jokes from internet culture: Chat was spamming emotes during the stream.
The verb emote means to express emotion dramatically, often with theatrical exaggeration: She emoted wildly during her monologue.
