Pepe is actually a reclaimed racist meme. Most of this 4chan racism about the frog is from 2016 or so. If you're ever on twitch, you'll see it all over the place because it's a huge part of their culture.
Weird. I spend a nontrivial amount of time on Twitch and I don't see that at all.
I'm speaking particularly of chat emotes. I still see it all the time, but it may vary by channel.
That's fair. Chat emotes can vary wildly from streamer to streamer.
