Dude, if see my friend's avatar in-game, and then when I see her in person she looks very similar to how she made her avatar look, I'm obviously gonna make that connection
It was very obvious to me as a reader
Yes as a
reader it is made clear because these kinds of connections mean something in a story. "Color coded for your convenience" is a big trope. Search it
Stories are made so us readers can easily identify and draw connections between things. Else we would complain a story is confusing half the time.
Just bear with me think through this with me:
In a game where you can change traits, race or even names at the drop of a hat, is it really strong evidence?He has even made his hair blonde in game.
He doesn't even know his sister's friend plays mmos.
How would he not
you come to this conclusion? That "my sister's friend who has purple highlights in her hair must play a purple cat girl in the
same mmorpg I do?"
In game her style is girly while irl she leans more into cool
It would be such a reach from his PoV to equate the two.
It's like if you attacked me for wearing a black shirt because black is the color of evil so I must be a villain.
If we changed her character & her irl hair to all black, the argument doesnt work with the immense amount of people with black hair.
