What does MonkaW mean on Twitch?
MonkaW is used during high-tension moments in a Twitch stream, usually, a bit after the MonkaS emote was used prior.
MonkaW is typically used at high-tension times in a Twitch stream, generally after the MonkaS emote has been performed.
MonkaW is used before MonkaS since it is a ‘evolved' version of the MonkaS emote. In case you've forgotten what it implies, it's used (usually spammed) in high-stress situations.
Whenever anything tense happens on a Twitch stream, the chat will begin spewing MonkaSes. If the tension persists or increases, the MonkaW emote will be utilized as a follow-up.
In terms of design, the MonkaW is a zoomed-in version of the MonkaS emote, implying that we are now in greater misery than previously.
Origin of MonkaW on Twitch
User VoparoS_ uploaded MonkaW to BettertwitchTV and Frankerfacez in 2017, only one year after MonkaS was uploaded to both emote libraries.
Better Twitch TV and FrankerFacez are Twitch emote libraries, in case you didn't know. They are available as a browser plugin and allow users to utilize additional emotes than those offered with Twitch.
MonkaW is a Twitch emote in the W emote series. W emotes are variants of a single emote, in this example the MonkaS.
MonkaS debuted on BetterTwitchTV/FrankerFacez in 2016, but it wasn't widely recognized until 2017, when Forsen's conversation made it popular. Following that, as the popularity of MonkaS grew, the Twitch community recognized they needed an evolved emote to represent EXTREME agony, thus the MonkaW was born.

Origin of Pepe the frog Meme
Pepe The Frog is an anthropomorphic frog created by Matt Furie that first appears in the 2005 comic ‘Boy's Club.' Pepe became an online meme after Matt Furie shared the cartoon on his Myspace site in 2008; it rapidly went viral and was republished on 4chan. By 2015, it had become one of the most popular internet memes, with several versions of the frog appearing online.
Pepe the Frog had become a symbol of the alt-right and white supremacy groups by 2010. Matt Furie has now sued a number of similar radical organizations for seeking to profit on his illustration.
Matt, on the other hand, applauded the usage of Pepe the frog during the Hong Kong demonstrations.
The use of Pepe the frog and monka emotes on Twitch has nothing to do with alt-right activities.
