What does the sideLook emoji mean?

The ultimate reaction for when you're trying to act like you didn't just see that.

This is the iconic 'Awkward Look Monkey' puppet from the Japanese children's show 'Ōkiku naru Ko'. It has become a staple internet meme used to express discomfort, guilt, or the desire to avoid a conversation after something embarrassing happens. In Discord, it is the perfect tool to signal that you are silently judging a situation or pretending to be oblivious to a chaotic message.

When to use it

  • Reacting to an incredibly awkward chat message
  • Pretending you did not see the ping
  • Avoiding responsibility for a recent server mistake
  • Showing discomfort during a heated argument

Also known as: :Hmmm:
