What Does This Mean?

[ SLANG ][ MEME CULTURE ][ TWITCH CULTURE ]

A Twitch chat message that rates a streamer's joke as good, paired with -2 for a joke that fell flat. It began as a scoring game in streamer Jerma985's channel and has been picked up in other streamers' chats.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

""Chat answered the pun with a wall of +2 and one lonely -2.""

LORE & ORIGIN

A Jerma-focused Tumblr answer describes a 2017 stream in which Jerma and Etalyx tried to beat Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days within four hours, with two minutes added for every good joke and two minutes removed for every bad one, and chat reacting with +2 or -2. Search-result text says the habit spread to other chats such as those of Northernlion and Vinny. The exact stream date was not given.
