WutFace

WutFace shows esports host Alex "Goldenboy" Mendez staring open-mouthed at the camera during MLG Anaheim on June 22, 2014. The broadcast camera cut to Mendez in the audience during game three of OpTic Gaming against Team EnVy in Call of Duty and caught the exaggerated reaction.

On October 27, Mendez announced that the face had become a new Twitch global emote. "Wut" is internet shorthand for "what," so the command turns the expression into a compact reaction for shock, confusion and the feeling of asking what you just saw.

Type WutFace in Twitch chat to use this emote. Viewers use WutFace for sudden surprises, bizarre decisions, jump scares, loud or uncomfortable moments, gross reveals and anything confusing enough to make chat react with an open-mouthed "what?"
