A Gamer Guy’s Misconception About A Character’s Peach Fuzz Was Put On Blast On Twitter

Long-time avid gamers have witnessed how graphics have improved over the years and through every update. There has been a significant leap from pixelated surroundings and characters to realistic animation.

Game developers take pride in how well the graphics of their characters advance. These characters are often marketed beyond just gaming if people like them.

Cosplayers and even animation fans usually marvel at the realism they possess. The problem arises when gamers focus solely on these games and take them as reality; they might miss out on learning actual facts.

There's a gamer who went viral after he questioned an unusual feature (for him) of a female character in a PS5 game. He asked why Aloy, a protagonist in the Horizon game series, has facial hair, and his question went viral after being reposted.

It turns out the so-called beard was actually peach fuzz, scientifically known as vellus hair. Both men and women replied under the tweet featuring the gamer's comment with memes, sarcasm, and confusion.

The majority of them questioned whether this gamer has ever been close enough to women to know that the hair on their face isn't a beard or if he walks around thinking that his own peach fuzz is a beard.

If he needs an easy explanation of why Aloy has hair on her face

ladymaelucy

No one really knows if this gamer is just pulling a stunt or is actually serious

says_rights

Some are suspicious that he’s never come close to a woman because of his question

cianmaher0

Might need glasses sometime soon

coil780

It’s hard to prioritize shaving and waxing when the world’s ending, realistically speaking

azrielen

Maybe this gamer guy is still stuck in these types of games

thisisgilbs

Saw way past all of that beauty

PoisonedInkProd

The memes have started in response to the meme-able question

TheHer0Infinity

Give the guy a break; it might be the only beard he knows

Ruu_Muur

We never know; even that might fly over his head

anekistimulans

It’s unfortunate that something like a woman’s peach fuzz would elicit such negative reactions

kristinkuffner

Missed the memo about evolution

MayorofGaming

The guy might be too stunned to continue gaming

_chunkyb_

Women come in all types and shapes. There is beauty in how Aloy was envisioned

galactic_ariel

They wouldn’t be able to survive the wilderness if they constantly had to look for shaving and waxing supplies

shoshanasachi

Someone modified Aloy’s picture into this meme as a response to those who judge her

Lesbians have entered the chat

This is an unretouched photo of Marilyn Monroe, captured in her natural beauty

foxforcefleur

These two assumptions might be the most accurate

GayatriJoshiMD

Artists would agree that it takes a great amount of skill to create something so realistic and detailed

mikeBithell

A good piece of advice from this Twitter user

sandrasansansa

Maybe this is finally the explanation behind the gamer’s cluelessness

AriaTempest

*Presses upgrade button* No! Go back!

dspot4lyf

If he considers peach fuzz a mustache, does that mean he thinks eyebrows are also mustaches?

Skibrym

There seems to be a collective group of men who grew up thinking that women are consistently flawless

is_surviving

It takes one question and a few seconds to disregard all of the artist’s hard work

justicar

It is gorgeous and deserves to be appreciated by many people

DataAngel

This says a lot about how ridiculous the gamer’s question is

eetijerino

The peach fuzz that Aloy has is very normal, and there could be different explanations for someone’s body hair

Ladlien

Again, people are assuming this guy hasn’t been too close to a woman

GameDadJP

With everything the game has to offer, is Aloy's body hair the one thing he can’t get over?

JamesOhBurn

Explanations like these usually create wrong assumptions among others

Defoni

There are women who actually have beards, and that can be natural too

zajanatural

Every little thing that doesn’t fit their ‘perfect’ perception of women is likely to be marked as a flaw

BatlaxePrincess

A read and probably a fact

blueshellhater

There are many artists in the gaming industry who take into consideration what real features look like. This means that it’s not always the polished and doll-like features that others expect.

This is actually refreshing to see in an industry where people have been emphasized to be too perfect and to follow the beauty standards that society has imposed. Also, this way, people can see the representation they desire. 

Do you think the gamer guy is just joking? Tell us your opinions about what you think of realistic game characters.
