Add an option to disable auto emote when typing things like :/ :) :( :D

I’d like there to be a toggle to enable or disable auto emotes for text emotes like these; :/ :) :( :D
Normally when these are typed it’s automatically turned into a twitch emote but I don’t want that :/

    @twitch
    Please consider this idea.
    Discord did it this way.
    Now can you??
    I like your emotes, but i wanna do text sometimes..

    I totally agree—an option to disable auto-emotes would be super helpful. I love to watch game live streams such as Roblox (https://robloxrobuxapk.com/), I often face this issue when chatting quickly, and unintended emotes can confuse the message. A toggle for this feature would make communication much smoother!

    This would be so much better. The classic :) has so much more soul than any company could ever design.

    I've had to resort to doing =D and =) and :> and :< and all sorts of replacements just to avoid it. It really sucks because they just don't convey the same emotions

    As an old school internet user, I like my emoji and emoticons being separate. My emoticons are special to me and hold specific meaning that default emoji don't convey. I feel like I'm being forced to use Newspeak when my intended, and inoffensive, text is translated to website-approved images.
    Also some common words themselves just turn into emoji due to this feature.
    Earlier in chat someone liked the song that was playing, and so meant to say "This song is a BOP!", but ended up sending "This song is a [mallet emoji]." =\

    2024 and still too hard for twitch to add such a good option :p

    Reason I hate it is when using 7tv and such, I love some of the emotes but it just changes to the emote every time I use the same word as the emote, gets kind of annoying
