WutFace is a Twitch emote used to express shock, disgust, confusion, or surprise. The emote features a man's face with a wide-open mouth and a look of horror or disbelief, making it perfect for moments when something unexpected or unsettling happens on stream.
Origin
The WutFace emote is based on the face of Alex Mendez, also known as Goldenboy, a well-known esports host and commentator. The emote was added to Twitch in 2014. The image was taken from a reaction Goldenboy made during a live stream, which quickly became popular due to its expressive and exaggerated look.
When to use
When something shocking or gross happens on stream (e.g., a jump scare, a disgusting food challenge).
Reacting to unexpected or confusing moments.
Expressing disbelief at a surprising event or announcement.
Used humorously when chat wants to exaggerate their reaction to something minor.
