Empty emotes not showing correctly (nightly)

[Van0m]

Checklist

• I'm reporting a problem with Chatterino
• I've verified that I'm running the most recent nightly build or stable release
• I've looked for my problem on the wiki
• I've searched the issues and pull requests for similar looking reports

Describe your issue

Empty emotes don't render correctly. For example this emote https://7tv.app/emotes/01F6Z8HP5G000FYTFDA0V44NGF
At first it just shows the emote name in slightly darker text and then loads properly if I colon complete it and send it.
This emote doesn't render at all, just shows as text and doesn't show up in the colon complete https://7tv.app/emotes/01FMPX72JG0001J9AENJAK57PJ

Screenshots

OS and Chatterino Version

Chatterino Nightly 7.5.5 (Commit 758cd72)

[Nerixyz]

At first it just shows the emote name in slightly darker text

This indicates that the emote image failed to load. I can't test this right now. It would be interesting to see which images are available for that emote. You can shift+right-click a message to copy it as JSON and paste it here in a code block:

```json
{ "your": "json" }
```

The PR didn't fix the Issue f97e67d

It did not intend to do so.

[Nerixyz]

This is still a problem on Linux, but should be "fixed" on Windows by using avif over webp. Either Qt or libwebp don't accept the 1x1 and 2x2 images.

[Van0m]

Can confirm that it is fixed on windows.
