KKomrade Emote Meaning
“Камрад, твой медведь проснулся? Вы пьете водку вместе?”
What?
Okay, here’s a funny one!
Are you aware of the Twitch emote that pokes fun at American (redneck) culture?
Yes, it is, Kkona!
Now, we have a very similar situation; we are simply making fun of the “typical” Russian culture.
Thus, the meaning of kkomrade is generally defined as follows.
The Kkomrade emoji is a FrankerFaceZ emote that streamers can use to tease another streamer of Russian origin by poking fun at things that are stereotypically associated with Russians.
You will encounter the same mockery and undermining tones.
However, to use it properly, you should look beyond bears and vodka. There is so much more to Russians and Russian culture than just these stereotypes.
The Story Behind
As we can see, Kkomrade is based on the Kkona emote, meaning the face behind both is the same.
Once again, we see Konas “Kona” Korner, a former streamer, in action. This time, however, he is in a saluting pose, wearing a typical Russian commissary hat adorned with the iconic red five-pointed star, making him truly “look Russian.”
It originated in 2018, although it is not entirely clear when it was first used.
Nevertheless, it remains quite popular today, thanks to the long-standing Russian-American “friendship.” Thus, whenever an American and a Russian player confront each other, they use Kkomrade and Kkona, respectively, to mock each other’s culture and the cultural differences between them.
