What BigPhish means on Twitch — the red kanji for love, and a very large affection.

What does BigPhish mean?

BigPhish Twitch emote

BigPhish is the kanji 愛, love, in red brush script. Chat posts it for a big love: a wholesome moment, a pet on cam, a charity push, a creator they actually like. The name sounds like a fish joke. The picture is the word for love. Read the picture.

Origin

Twitch added it as a global alongside other non-English marks. 愛 is read 'ai' in Japanese and means love. The code BigPhish is the English joke layered on top. It is not bleedPurple and it is not a pride flag.

When to use BigPhish

  • A sincere 'I love this' that a heart emoji would undersell
  • Pets, reunions, charity, or a clip that is just nice
  • Japanese, anime, or language-learning streams where the kanji lands
  • Ironic love for something terrible, if the rest of the sentence is clearly a joke
