Give users an option to not show certain emotes
Give users the option to remove certain emotes so they don't show up in chat, like hiding all the Kpop emotes

Please let us remove emotes we don't want.
I'm sick and tired of getting dumb, ugly emotes that I'll never use from Hype Trains or holiday events like the Christmas emotes or Pride emotes - I don't care about them, I don't use them, yet when I start writing an emote they pop up as the first choice if there's a similar streamer-related word for the emote; I follow someone who has their own KEK-emote, so when I go to write in :kek to quickly access the emote I want I instead get a stupid kpop or other global emote I've unlocked for some reason I don't care about.
It's great that there are so many global emotes available and unlockable for real world events, but if I don't care about them and actually DO NOT want them, why do I get them?

I would prefer not to see emotes from channels that I've followed or subbed too in the past. Some of these channels are either long gone or of some bad past nature. I do want to keep some for example: I know this channel is on vacation I want to continue supporting this channel. However I know of this other channel that no longer streams and they are not planning to return.

@ultrafist0 I wonder if you and I are talking about the same person!

And yes, as a streamer, I have been bullied several times by this one mod. The channels she mods for keep showing up in my list. It really makes me ill to see this person’s own emote show up as well in some of those lists too. Agreed that Twitch should have the option to do this!

I second and third the comments by @crowley_87 and @BotLizz below. If you’re no longer interested in certain streamers for whatever reason, you shouldn’t have to see their ‘leftover’ emotes in your list every time you want to select an emote to use! Twitch, please pay mind to this!

Please make this an option. Having to be reminded of a toxic/manipulative streamer I mistakenly supported in the past is very exhausting. Honestly very demotivating to use Twitch/other emotes when I see those I can't remove/hide.

This needs to happen!! I nor anyone else should have to see their abusers emotes!! There should be an option to opt out of it considering we paid to get it!! It makes no sense how you could allow this when we've blocked said person

For the love of everything that is great and holy, make this a thing, Twitch. You guys ask us for what we want and this is one of many small things we ask for. I was manipulated,Gaslit and abused by a user whom I blocked and was blocked by them. I don't want to see their emotes on my list anymore. It literally TRIGGERS me seeing their name pop up on my emotes list. Heck, I don't want ANY of their emotes shown on my channel. There's absolutely NO WAY you guys can't do this. You guys have the resources and technology, make this a thing please. Care for us users, who were victims from other streamers abusive behaviors, etc.

Please make this a thing. I unfollowed and BLOCKED a twitch user and his follower emotes are still showing in my emote list. I can’t stand this dude.

I really hope this can become a thing. Everytime I log on to twitch and have to see somebody's emotes it causes so many mental issues.

Honestly yeah. Its already bad enough to see someone's emotes who was abusive to show up in chat. Just, feels like you're briefly relieving a moment from looking at something so innocent yet behind it, its used by a user whose toxic to themselves and to other people. Rubs me the wrong way that this option isn't allowed for streamers (or anyone in general)

Would love to see this become a possibility. If I block a user, it's for a reason. That users emotes should not be able to be used in my channel, nor should I have the option to use them/see them in my list.

I would really like to hide emotes of people I do not want to see anymore.

New Hype Train emote with the spider freaked the **** out of me. I'm terrified of spiders. Whoever allowed this to be an emote, I hope a spider crawls on your face and you have the worst nap ever.

This really isn't just a matter of convenience or even clutter. There's also an element of safety and well-being involved. Personally, seeing TotalBiscuit's face for the L U L emote every time I open up my emote list is a literal trigger for a panic attack for me because of his sexist cult harassing me off other social media platforms. I already use Nightbot to remove it from my stream's chats, but being able to hide the emote outright, both in my emote selection screen and when people use it in other's stream chats would be immensely helpful in not being forced to dredge up old memories of harm being inflicted upon me every time I use the platform.
I'm sure there's other emotes that have similar effects on the mental health of marginalized people. There's a lot of pepe emotes floating around that are most widely used by neonazi groups, so being able to at least keep these emojis out of our streams would be wonderful since Twitch clearly appears intent on keeping said neonazis on the platform because profits. >.>

yo what the heck I was just going to support this suggestion because I didn't like some of the emotes I currently have unlocked, but after seeins the comments it seems that this idea can help tons of people as well, please Twitch add some sort of feature to let us deleted already unlocked emotes or hide them into oblivion.

Cmon Twitch! Let us remove emotes of people we block/unfollow. I have to look at the emotes of someone who emotionally abused me and caused my anxiety levels to spike to levels I never want to be ever again. It makes me hurt just looking at them... Do us all a favor and implement this!
