Popular Twitch streamer Emily "ExtraEmily" has garnered attention on social media after she was seen doing the viral "NPC" trend on TikTok. For those unaware, a wave of TikTok livestreamers have started the trend of impersonating Non-Player Characters (NPCs) from video games. Viewers can tip the content creators, which shows up as icon prompts. The TikTokers typically respond in a robotic manner, repeating certain phrases.
Earlier today (July 18, 2023), One True King (OTK) co-founder Matthew "Mizkif" showcased ExtraEmily's shenanigans on her TikTok broadcast. The latter was heard saying:
"Thank you for the rose. Thank you for the rose. Thank you for the 100 roses. Yee-haw! I'm a cowboy. Yee-haw! I'm a cowboy. Heart-heart. Heart-heart. Thank you so much. Heart-heart. Heart-heart. Ice cream so good. Yum, yum, yum!"
Hundreds of community members on the r/LivestreamFail subreddit shared their thoughts on Emily participating in the ongoing TikTok trend. Redditor u/Raa1n commented:
