Clash Royale, Supercell's mobile strategy game released in 2016, lets players send emotes during battles instead of typing messages, and the crying Boohoo emote quickly became one of its most recognisable taunts. Players tap it after winning an exchange, taking a tower, or watching an opponent waste elixir, and clips of those moments spread through gameplay videos and short-form edits. Because the sound is short and instantly readable as mock sympathy, it has stayed in regular use long after its debut as a quick way to celebrate a comeback or rub in a close win.
