Long-time avid gamers have been witnesses to how graphics became better throughout the years and through every update. There has been a large jump from pixelated surroundings and humans 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 is when gamers only focus on these games and take them as reality, they might miss out on learning about actual facts.

There's a gamer that went viral after he asked 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 a beard and it went viral after his question was reposted.

Turns out the said beard was actually peach fuzz or scientifically known as vellus hair. Both men and women replied under the tweet that featured the gamer's reply with memes, sarcasm, and confusion.

The majority of them questioned if this gamer has ever been near women enough 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 itself.

Jesse Cox was the Twitter user...

who reposted the gamer’s question

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

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

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

Might need glasses some time soon

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

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

Saw way past all of that beauty

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

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

We never know, even that might fly over his head

It’s unfortunate that stuff like a woman’s peach fuzz would get her such bad reactions

Missed the memo about evolution

The guy might be too stunned to continue gaming

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

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

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 where she was captured in her natural beauty

These two assumptions might be the most accurate

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

A good piece of advice from this Twitter user

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

*Presses upgrade button* No! Go back!

If he considered the peach fuzz as a mustache does that mean that he thinks eyebrows are also mustaches

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

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

It is gorgeous and it deserves to be appreciated by a lot of people

This says a lot about how ridiculous the question of the gamer is

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

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

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

Explanations like these are usually ones that create wrong assumptions from other people

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

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

A read and probably a fact

There are a lot of artists in the gaming industry that takes 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 following the beauty standards that society has pushed up. Also, this way, people would see the representation they want. 

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