Valkyrae reacts to carrot emote

Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter is currently one the most famous female streamer in the world. She is known for her gaming livestreams and vlogs. But there is one legendary moment in her career that no one forgot, including fellow streamer Foolish Gamer. He even made an emote dedicated to that moment, which Valkyrae later compared to Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.

Valkyrae’s YouTube channel has over 3.95 million subscribers, and the numbers are growing every day. Her crazy and loud personality is one of the reasons fans love her content. But this personality often leads to some crazy moments, and one even made its way to her Streamy Award nomination video.

Recently, Noah “Foolish Gamers” Brown presented Rae with a funny emote. He drew that emote, which captured one of the most iconic Valkyrae moments. Later, the YouTube Queen compared that emote to one of the greatest art pieces in history, the Mona Lisa.

Valkyrae compares her emote to Mona Lisa

Even those not interested in art know about Mona Lisa. It is one of the most renowned pieces of work by the legendary artist Leonardo da Vinci. This painting was made during the period of the Italian Renaissance. This masterpiece is currently kept in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

In a recent live stream, Valkyrae compared emote made by Foolish to this masterpiece. She claimed that the emote presents various expressions, similar to Vinci’s masterpiece. Mona Lisa is famous for her ambiguous facial expression, which conveys different emotions depending on the viewer.

“I compared it to the Mona Lisa. Like how it gives off different expressions, like it looks scared but also confused. But also like uwu (a slang for cute), you know.”

Even Rae’s fans complimented Foolish for creating this emote in the livestream’s chat. They even claimed it looked like Valkyrae. But some didn’t agree with these reactions, as they found the emote scary.

The iconic carrot incident behind the creation of the emote

Fans who have been following Valkyrae since her early days need no explanation behind the carrot design of the emote. But for the new fans, it is from a viral clip from her early days as a streamer, where she was rapping about vegetables.

It has been years since the 31-year-old made that fun rap, but fans and her friends still troll her about it. Even this “carrot” emote by Follish Gamers is a reference to that legendary “it’s Valkyrae here with some carrots” moment.
