Bracken-Hucks tells Allure that she wants her avatar to look more like her — that means adding hairstyle options that she and other Black women often choose.
, dropped in March, I couldn't escape the memes that started appearing on my social media. The popular video game is a hit with players of all ages because of its super cute avatars and the necessary escapism it gave people during the early stages of lockdown.
As fun as it is, the game isn't without its imperfections. One player named Taniesha Bracken-Hucks noticed a lack of Afro-textured hairstyles available for the customizable characters, and she's since created a petition to hopefully spark a change. The petition, titled "Allure that she wants her avatar to look more like her — that means adding hairstyle options that she and other Black women often choose. "When I finally decided to embrace and love my natural hair, I was so sad to see that I still didn't have that option to do so in a virtual world, too."
Players are able to customize their character's eyes, lips, hair, and more throughout the game. To start off, everyone has the option of eight different hairstyles in eight different colors. As you play, you can earn Nook Miles — a form of currency — to unlock the other 22 hairstyles available.Courtesy of Taniesha Bracken-Hucks
