Twitch Removes PogChamp Emote Following Riots at the Capitol

Yesterday was a page in history textbooks. While the world watched, many people in the gaming community shared thoughts on the actions taken by a mob of frenzied Trump supporters as they broke through a police barrier to reach the Capitol building. One of those people was Gootecks, a voice in the FGC, and the face of the PogChamp emote. Following his tweets in support of the insurrection, Twitch decided to remove the emote from the platform.
