Where does the BibleThump emote come from?

The BibleThump emote comes from The Binding of Isaac, a 2011 roguelike game created by Edmund McMillen and Florian Himsl. In the game you control Isaac, who must find his way through procedurally generated dungeons and fight demons and monsters to escape his murderous mother.

In the play, based on the Bible story of the same name, Isaac regularly curls up in a ball and cries, with tears streaming down his pink face. That’s exactly how this emote was born. The BibleThump emote has been one of Twitch’s most used emotes since 2013 and is often used to express sadness or disappointment.

McMillen, one of the game’s creators, from his social media account: “We can agree to find a good solution to keep or replace Emote.” he said. McMillen said they could talk to Twitch about royalties, but it seems like Twitch won’t be willing to pay for this issue.
