What VirtualHug means on Twitch — a gradient heart, a hug, no ticket required.

What does VirtualHug mean?

VirtualHug is a soft gradient heart. It is a hug. Chat posts it for comfort, a thank-you, a rough day, a goodbye, or a kind clip. It is the plain one. ModLove names the mods. bleedPurple names the platform. The pride hearts name flags. VirtualHug does not name a side. It is the arms.
Origin
Drawn global, deliberately generic so it would work in any channel. That is a feature. A hug with a logo on it is a campaign. This is just the hug. ThankEgg if the thanks should be weirder. PJSugar if it should be a jar. The heart is the default kindness in the official set.
When to use VirtualHug
- Comfort, thanks, and goodbyes
- A kind clip
- When you do not mean a flag, a brand, or a mod team
- With ThankEgg if you want one sincere and one strange
