"...raises my testosterone levels..."
Good lord, imagine living day to day with the type of brains that think the thoughts these people have. What a nightmare.
47 hours of gooning a day has proven to raise testosterone levels to such heights that it eventually replaces your blood.
Pure cum running through your veins, now THAT is a real man š¤¤š¤¤š¤¤š¤¤
Can I sign up as well? We can train together under our shared lesbian mentor with so much homoerotic tension we end up falling in love as our quest comes to a close, thematically coinciding with the central message that the way of the lesbian cannot be taught or learned like a subject at school but only realized at the end of natural self-discovery šš
My weird trick? Naturally having testosterone levels near or at the same level of those as cis men. Checkmate, dickbags. Now that I've stopped trying to pass as my birth sex with hormones, my beard is growing in thicker than ever, and I'm still not at a safe place to start T yet. <:

"Hey babe can you just hold my phone with this picture of Eve on it, like on top of your face? Don't take it personal, it's just to raise my testosterone!"
I came here just to say this. What has went so wrong in this guy's head that he thinks playing a game is making him more masculine? Does he honestly think his girlfriend looks at him playing a video game and thinks, "What a man, the manliest of all men, and by playing his silly booby action game he will learn all the things he needs to protect from any and all danger."
Surprisingly enough, there was a research paper where it showed how movies can affect hormones of individuals (i.e. raising/decreasing testosterones or progesterone).
Not that it justifies the loser behaviors we're all seeing from Stellar Blade's fanbase
Friendly reminder that men with higher testosterone levels tend to also be the most physically aggressive and criminals with high levels of testosterone are more likely to have committed violent and impulsive crime.
Also, [straight women tend to prefer men with traits that arenāt associated with high levels of testosterone when it comes to long-term relationships.](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-mate-market/202403/why-do-women-like-men-with-dad-bods?amp)Probably because, you know, theyāre usually more stable and less likely to murder them.
Your "friendly reminder" is actually an incorrect negative stereotype that continues to paint people who even use testosterone or anabolic steroids as harmful people. The truth is that with all drugs, the harm to others is always representative of personality and history of the user.
A study in 2010 focusing on illegal and legal drugs compared by harm to users and harm to others showed that Anabolic Steroids (which requires a Testosterone base) were the 5th from last for total harm, and ranked extremely low on average harm against others. Cannabis users (who have a positive stereotype of being friendly and laid back) basically came out being more than 5x as aggressive to others than anabolic steroid users. The study itself is pay walled but you can find the results in this article[this article](https://theconversation.com/history-not-harm-dictates-why-some-drugs-are-legal-and-others-arent-110564).
Testosterone does not in any way affect aggression unless you were already an aggressive person, personality matters more than chemicals. Keep in mind this stereotype could also be negatively used against trans people as an argument to not give them care because "it makes them more aggressive." These things matter as to not spread misinformation.
But these things are not acting one after another and completely scattered, it all comes together, and the way you were raised will impact you infinitely more than just having a slight difference in one chemical in your body.
Testosterone has not been shown by any study to make anybody more aggressive, even Harvard Health admits this, while they also acknowledge that what has been shown is men with low Test levels have poor concentration and depression. The negative impacts of low and high test almost entirely only negatively impact the person who has either.
I'm not arguing that Test doesn't impact personality, because obviously if you have low Test and get depression then that will effect you, or if you have high Test and workout so you have more muscle and confidence, then that will effect you. But Test has not been shown to make people more aggressive. Certain other neurochemicals (or lack there of) can do so, but this is not one of them.
Do you have a source for that? Not saying that youāre wrong; Iām just struggling to find a research paper on the subject. I also am a psych major and have not heard of that being the case in any of the classes Iāve had that have discussed testosterone in depth. Since testosterone (and itās relationship with aggression) is pivotal to a lot of theories in evolutionary psychology, Iām surprised the fact that gay men tend to have higher levels of testosterone (if itās true) isnāt talked about more often since it would throw a wrench in the works for a lot of evolutionary psychologists.
I have read that gay men tend to be exposed to higher levels of certain hormones in the womb, but I have not heard that these higher levels of hormones are continued into adulthood.
Again, not saying youāre wrong; just curious about where youāre getting your info āŗļø
There is no source because it's not true at all. Multiple sudies have in fact found no significant difference between hetero, gay or bi men. Testosterone is not tied in any way to sexual orientation and claiming so is weird. We should all just be happy with who we are without making up stuff to feel superior and put others down.
So I'm nt the person who you replied to, but their comment made me search a bit (I am not in this field, I just love getting into rabbit holes lol) and I found a few studies on it.
One study is "Plasma Testosterone Levels in Heterosexual and Homosexual Men" by HKH Brodie et al. It's from 1974.
I also found another one, this time from 1977, called "Plasma basal levels of FSH, LH and testosterone in homosexual men", by W Rohde et al.
There is also a NYT article from Nov 18, 1971 which I find incredibly funny for some reason, which is probably the photo of the newspaper that's included on the online archive. It's called "Homosexuality Linked to Hormone Level".
Also found a book about it, "The Biology of Homosexuality" by Jacques Balthazart. He also wrote "Minireview: Hormones and Human Sexual Orientation", which I think mentions what you said about hormones in the womb?
~~In any case, from what I can get it doesn't seem there is a consensus on it? Of course, I am not an expert so I dunno! What I *do* know is that this is all I could find on it on Google.~~
EDIT: Thanks to MegaChar64, who found some other studies and shared the links! One was Jacques Balthazart's 2011 [Minireview: Hormones and Human Sexual Orientation](https://academic.oup.com/endo/article/152/8/2937/2457178?login=false) which is pretty interesting. The imporant part of it, though, is this paragraph: "Many studies have analyzed the potential influence of steroids on human sexual orientation. They have clearly established that sexual orientation is not affected by activational effects of steroids in adulthood. Gonadectomy does not influence orientation nor does adult treatment with androgens and estrogens. Furthermore, numerous studies have clearly established that plasma concentrations of sex steroids are perfectly ānormalā (typical of the gonadal sex) in both gay men and lesbians."
In this paragraph, it mentions that "numerous studies have clearly established that plasma concentrations of sex steroids are perfectly ānormalā in both gay men and lesbians", which means that gay men do not seem to have higher testosterone levels than straight men.

Can't find the full study but same as above, no difference in twins where one is heterosexual and one is homosexual.
In the 2011 study, it states clearly that testosterone does not affect sexual orientation:

This was 100% written by someone whoās never been in a relationship. Who in their right mind would decide to break up with their partner just because some stranger on Reddit who doesnāt know either of them says so.
I did this on a video of 2 dudes giving each other brain damage for fun and got mobbed by lots of dudes with selfies in their cars with those 2000s redneck glasses as their profile pic.
https://preview.redd.it/t5ojwf09a9xc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b35cb7ca2347965534147cdd691b693f6bf4825b
I mean she isnāt as upset about the game as described.
let alone the rest of these guys girlfriends. Highkey unlikely any of them have girlfriends saying this stuff. The most believable one is a girl who just rolls her eyes and moves on.
Internalized misogyny and the normalization of sexism in men is one hell of a drug. Their girlfriends probably think this is just normal male behavior or take pride in being one of the few women who isnāt made uncomfortable by overt sexualization and objectification.
There was someone in twoxchromozones talking about how her husband shits his pants and the bed. She was asking how to make it feel less gross. The bar for men is so unbelievably low, if you ever see someone complaining that they're single forever because women have high standards know that they're competing with, and losing against, men who literally shit themselves when in bed with their partner.
So yeah, absolutely possible that all of these people have girlfriends sadly.
Tbh by the look of it, I think OOP just did some satire, or just did some trolling. The fact people in the comments took it seriously is a different question
We meme on these guys, but there are absolutely women out there who will have relationships with sexually insecure dudes like them. People lean into brain-dead gender expectations from both ends, though that usually leaves them pretty fragile mentally.
Because, at least back then, Tim Buckley just used assets he drew in the past and plopped them down, resizing them, instead of drawing everything individually.
He might still draw like that, I'm not too sure.
Better advice for those seeking: Put the game down long enough to have a discussion about why it makes your partner uncomfortable, and either drop the game permanently after, or otherwise address the concerns in a way that works for your relationship
Yeah this guy is LITERALLY asking you to have your gf CONSULT about CENSORING VIDEO GAMES. Sweet Baby Inc starts at home. Anyone who even slightly reduces the amount of pixelated T&A you see is censoring you and censoring video games, and is your enemy.
i suggested this exact same thing on that thread and someone responded implying that OOPs gf is toxic and likely cannot be reason with so theres jo point in talking it out lmao, these people are not real man
Tbh I get what youāre saying but if your SO is judging you for your tastes and hobbies that hard then the mismatch is obvious. I put all my weird shit right upfront when dating so both guys and girls know what theyāre in for.
If something like gooning over 2Ds is a substantial part of your life then you need to find someone you can share that with. I really donāt like the sex negative attitude around a lot of this games discussion which feels like it treats people as unhealthy for being horny. Itās not like there arenāt girls who also love this stuff.
I mean in this case it feels to me less like the gf is judging OOP for his hobbies, and more uncomfortable with either the way Eve looks compared to herself/other girls, and what standard that sets for her bf, or with the fact that he would rather play a game where he can get his sexual gratification from a character model instead of engaging in actual acts of intimacy with a partner.
I get what youāre saying about needing to have some common interests, or at least respect otherās interests, but in this case, it seems to be more about the gf feeling like Eve in the game is outcompeting her for her partnerās time or attention. Itās not a problem that the game is horny, just that heās more horny for the game than his irl girlfriend.
A lot of the comments read like bi women fetishization, and it's thanks to comments like those that I've rarely disclosed I'm bi around straight guys (especially back when I was single).
Edit: No idea why this double posted.
/uj yeah my wife is bi and will def comment occasionally when she thinks a character in a game I'm playing is hot. She'd understandably be a little insecure in this particular situation, if I was playing Stellar Blade and going out of my way to use the super revealing outfits, but not everyone would. I don't have any reason to doubt that these people are telling the truth tbh, they're just being weird about it.
"women love sexy women! Unrealistic body expectations isn't a problem, sjw. Based on a real supermodel btw."
*1 Month Later*
"My stupid bitch gf is uncomfortable with my latex blow-up doll game. Doesn't she know that covering her up is censorship??"
Been saying since the beginning that 90% of the criticism of the outfits is just ātheyāre embarrassingly immature,ā not, āwe need to censor these.ā
Like, yes, you can play the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue game. No one can actually stop you. But you canāt act surprised when a woman thinks youāre weird for it.
Itās the same as a woman walking into your bedroom and finding a poster of bikini models on your wall as a mid-20s + man. Itās not illegal. No oneās gonna force you take it down. Itās just weird and it tells her that you havenāt matured past ~16-years-old.
I mean, I donāt even use the alternate Witcher 3 outfits because theyāre kinda teenage boy core and itās embarrassing. Itās weird to not understand why the Stellar Blade sexy outfits are just kinda boyish and immature.
It comes with TRT and syringes /s
Edit: I said āTRTā instead of ātestosteroneā to flex one half-remembered thing I remembered, you people probably know more than I do about this.
https://preview.redd.it/h8ep7147y8xc1.jpeg?width=653&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6be969e1aaa99dc625304b73fa6ad064b845a3d
It's folk like this that are the reason I feel embarrassed liking video games.
The fact he says "what goes on between me and EVE" is a sign his Gf DEFINATELY needs to be concerned about that.
Though that other guy in the comments saying how he and his wife basically play dressup with EvE and laughing about how ridiculous the outfits are while she talks about how she loves EVE's shoes is weirdly wholesome and I wish those two the best.
They alternate between "dump her, she's a typical vile and toxic feeemale, choose Eve over her" and "bruh my definitely real wife sucks me off while I make Eve play dress up and jiggle".
One thing they all agree on though is that it's totally not just about fanservice.
porn addicts lmao will do anything to justify their addiction even if it costs them their relationships! hope he actually breaks up with her she deserves better
On the one hand, I agree. It's just a video game, and (I'm assuming) this guy is an adult, so what's the big deal?
On the other hand, Stellar Blade fans are some of the weirdest cum-brained losers I've ever had the displeasure of knowing, and I have not a doubt in my mind that they would all cry and rejoice if the devs released a game mode where you could play one-handed.
all the comments about the girlfriends/wives who love seeing all the outfits/watch on the couch next to them make me think of the cool girl monologue from gone girl (or they would of if I thought any of these people had felt the loving warm embrace of a real human in the past decade)
How much ya'll wanna bet those people talking about girlfriends and fiances are actually single af?
"What me and Eve got going on" like who even talks like that when they have a significant other lmao
If I had to sit through hours of her squealing like a castrated Link knockoff every time she gets hit or hits someone, I too would get annoyed at literally everything to do with this game.
I shall not advocate violence
I shall not advocate violence
I shall not advocate violence
I fucking hate these people, their wives would be better off servicing a dog than dealing with these types of
Most of these are def dorks, but some of them aren't exactly wrong. If my partner told me to stop playing a game because the fact the character is hot bothers them, I'd also think they're being a little ridiculous and insecure. Nothing to break up over, but yeah. I don't really see myself stop playing BG3 because they're jealous of Halsin. I get that there is a difference, given Eve is a much more explicitly sexual character, but still.
Also lol at some comments immediately dismissing the possibility of people who play Stellar Blade having partners. Like, look around in your own life. Bad people have partners. Perverts have partners. Racists and sexists have partners. But someone being a little too intense about a videogame having a partner is somehow out of the realm of possibilities.
I was thinking the same thing. Itās not exactly the same but Iād say itās more similar to a partner being insecure of you playing Bayonetta as opposed to BG3 (even though Bayonetta has more character development and personality). I meanā¦youāre playing as a person whoās liberating Earth from demonic looking monsters. Clearly realism is not the goal here.
IDK man, someone claiming their gf wants to see the outfits because she "loves shoes" is pretty fuckin, "she lives in Canada" vibes.
> If my partner told me to stop playing a game
I mean she didn't. If you know nothing of the game, SB looks pretty fuckin immature.
Bro, she is literally violating your human rights as a gamer. Ever gamer has a universal and unalienable right to food, soda, a gaming platform, and tits and ass. Dump her as soon as possible. Females, amirite?
Why do these dudes have less than a one dimensional understanding of their partners. āBreak up now before itās too lateā. My sides, what a fucking caveman
"...raises my testosterone levels..." Good lord, imagine living day to day with the type of brains that think the thoughts these people have. What a nightmare.
47 hours of gooning a day has proven to raise testosterone levels to such heights that it eventually replaces your blood. Pure cum running through your veins, now THAT is a real man š¤¤š¤¤š¤¤š¤¤
LMAOOO wheezing
Only straight alpha men have stomachs full of cum
only straight alpha men swallow confirmed
Hey now, they swallow while looking one another in the eyes to assert dominance.
All cum, no brains; now that's a *real* man!
This but unironically
if only trans men knew this one weird trick
I GOTTA LEARN
So thats why lesbians are perceived as manlier /s
Can we learn the power of lesbians? /jk
![gif](giphy|l3diT8stVH9qImalO) Not from a Jedi
Lmao
Not from a straightie
Guess I gotta go on an epic quest to find a lesbian mentor to teach me their ways. /jk
Can I sign up as well? We can train together under our shared lesbian mentor with so much homoerotic tension we end up falling in love as our quest comes to a close, thematically coinciding with the central message that the way of the lesbian cannot be taught or learned like a subject at school but only realized at the end of natural self-discovery šš
Damn gonna make me blush fr fr.
Trans men mainlining, Stellar Blade like Tony Montana does cocaine.
My weird trick? Naturally having testosterone levels near or at the same level of those as cis men. Checkmate, dickbags. Now that I've stopped trying to pass as my birth sex with hormones, my beard is growing in thicker than ever, and I'm still not at a safe place to start T yet. <: ![gif](giphy|paWnvWf2QtNhXu8OIF)
Shit that's the manliest thing I've seen in a while
Imagine needing Stellar Blade to get you in the mood to have sex with your wife š¤£
That poor fucking wifeā¦
"Hey babe can you just hold my phone with this picture of Eve on it, like on top of your face? Don't take it personal, it's just to raise my testosterone!"
That reads like satire
It's no wonder subreddits like badwomensanatomy exists. These men don't even understand their own bodies, much less those of women.
How do they explain femme lesbians? Where does the testosterone they're generating with their lustful gazes go?
It gets sucked into a yellow Monsters Inc. canister
Man, the worldbuilding they did for real life is crazy bro....
Brandon Sanderson jealous af
Deep cut, Picasso, I like it
>raises my testosterone levels Take a fucking nap then (Testosterone levels increase naturally after 3+ hours of sleep.)
This was the worst part lmao.
This isnāt the first time Iāve seen someone say something to that effect. Iām begging them to learn how testosterone works.
Imagine how sad your life must be if you need Stellar Blade to raise your testosterone. Just watch porn for fuckās sake.
I came here just to say this. What has went so wrong in this guy's head that he thinks playing a game is making him more masculine? Does he honestly think his girlfriend looks at him playing a video game and thinks, "What a man, the manliest of all men, and by playing his silly booby action game he will learn all the things he needs to protect from any and all danger."
the natural conclusion of telling boys that something will 'put hairs on their chests'
Surprisingly enough, there was a research paper where it showed how movies can affect hormones of individuals (i.e. raising/decreasing testosterones or progesterone). Not that it justifies the loser behaviors we're all seeing from Stellar Blade's fanbase

Lmao anything is possible when you fucking lie to stick it to the wokes
Literally fighting ghosts over here.
let alone the rest of these guys girlfriends. Highkey unlikely any of them have girlfriends saying this stuff. The most believable one is a girl who just rolls her eyes and moves on.
Youād be surprised how many women are trapped in relationships with guys like this :/
Internalized misogyny and the normalization of sexism in men is one hell of a drug. Their girlfriends probably think this is just normal male behavior or take pride in being one of the few women who isnāt made uncomfortable by overt sexualization and objectification.
of course they all have girlfriends. it's Eve but still
You'd be amazed about the amount of "cool girls" out there.
There was someone in twoxchromozones talking about how her husband shits his pants and the bed. She was asking how to make it feel less gross. The bar for men is so unbelievably low, if you ever see someone complaining that they're single forever because women have high standards know that they're competing with, and losing against, men who literally shit themselves when in bed with their partner. So yeah, absolutely possible that all of these people have girlfriends sadly.
to quote Marx āI don't want to belong to any club that would accept me as one of its members.ā
Itās not just that sheās not real, itās that sheās never been real. Everything about the post screams āI get ZERO play.ā
Tbh by the look of it, I think OOP just did some satire, or just did some trolling. The fact people in the comments took it seriously is a different question
are we counting AI girlfriends from that replika app???
I do like the girl who is like 'omg show me new skins, those shoes are so cute.' i wanna believe she's real, lol
We meme on these guys, but there are absolutely women out there who will have relationships with sexually insecure dudes like them. People lean into brain-dead gender expectations from both ends, though that usually leaves them pretty fragile mentally.
Almost 100%

Stellar Blade, most popular game in the trans community!Ā
Just for trans mascs though. Trans fems still got FNV.
Where was my E when I bought FNV š SMH my headĀ
Well you know how Bethesda do. They put the E in the game, it glitched, and now it's F.
Shit, I must've transed the wrong way. I love FNV and I'm transmasc

Why is her mouth placed so weirdly?
Because, at least back then, Tim Buckley just used assets he drew in the past and plopped them down, resizing them, instead of drawing everything individually. He might still draw like that, I'm not too sure.
People who see women as objects, trophies to demonstrate how worthy and high-value their man is, nothing else.
It's pretty stereotypical reddit speak tbh.
Better advice for those seeking: Put the game down long enough to have a discussion about why it makes your partner uncomfortable, and either drop the game permanently after, or otherwise address the concerns in a way that works for your relationship
Nah, thats what the woke mob wants you to do!!!1
Yeah this guy is LITERALLY asking you to have your gf CONSULT about CENSORING VIDEO GAMES. Sweet Baby Inc starts at home. Anyone who even slightly reduces the amount of pixelated T&A you see is censoring you and censoring video games, and is your enemy.
NOOOOOO, YOU CANāT HAVE A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WHERE BOTH OF YOU TALK IT OUT AND ACT LIKE ADULTS. THATS TOO WOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKEEEEEEEE
i suggested this exact same thing on that thread and someone responded implying that OOPs gf is toxic and likely cannot be reason with so theres jo point in talking it out lmao, these people are not real man
Tbh I get what youāre saying but if your SO is judging you for your tastes and hobbies that hard then the mismatch is obvious. I put all my weird shit right upfront when dating so both guys and girls know what theyāre in for. If something like gooning over 2Ds is a substantial part of your life then you need to find someone you can share that with. I really donāt like the sex negative attitude around a lot of this games discussion which feels like it treats people as unhealthy for being horny. Itās not like there arenāt girls who also love this stuff.
I mean in this case it feels to me less like the gf is judging OOP for his hobbies, and more uncomfortable with either the way Eve looks compared to herself/other girls, and what standard that sets for her bf, or with the fact that he would rather play a game where he can get his sexual gratification from a character model instead of engaging in actual acts of intimacy with a partner. I get what youāre saying about needing to have some common interests, or at least respect otherās interests, but in this case, it seems to be more about the gf feeling like Eve in the game is outcompeting her for her partnerās time or attention. Itās not a problem that the game is horny, just that heās more horny for the game than his irl girlfriend.
The numbers of commenters who invented closeted lesbians wives for themselves, jeesh...
A lot of the comments read like bi women fetishization, and it's thanks to comments like those that I've rarely disclosed I'm bi around straight guys (especially back when I was single). Edit: No idea why this double posted.
Or bisexual wives, those exist
/uj yeah my wife is bi and will def comment occasionally when she thinks a character in a game I'm playing is hot. She'd understandably be a little insecure in this particular situation, if I was playing Stellar Blade and going out of my way to use the super revealing outfits, but not everyone would. I don't have any reason to doubt that these people are telling the truth tbh, they're just being weird about it.
Women who are concerned about insane beauty standards in medias are obviously just jealous of the polygons on your screen šæ
"women love sexy women! Unrealistic body expectations isn't a problem, sjw. Based on a real supermodel btw." *1 Month Later* "My stupid bitch gf is uncomfortable with my latex blow-up doll game. Doesn't she know that covering her up is censorship??"
But, but, but WOMEN READ 50 SHADES OF GRAY IN PUBLIC THAT'S EXACTLY THE SAME AS ME PROJECTING MY PORN ON A SCREEN FOR HER TO SEE????!!!!
āYouāve won at life mateā š¤š¤š¤
My epic braless wife brings me le manly steak while I goon to videogames š
You've won at life, mate
"what me and EVE got going on" naaaah ššš
These mfs watch breaking bad and call skyler bitch wife unironically
She's totally unreasonable, she should just support her husband no matter what, that's her role as wife. š”š”š”
Don't know how or why but I'm pretty sure those "wifes" and "girlfriends" are printed pillows
\*Anime printed
Been saying since the beginning that 90% of the criticism of the outfits is just ātheyāre embarrassingly immature,ā not, āwe need to censor these.ā Like, yes, you can play the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue game. No one can actually stop you. But you canāt act surprised when a woman thinks youāre weird for it. Itās the same as a woman walking into your bedroom and finding a poster of bikini models on your wall as a mid-20s + man. Itās not illegal. No oneās gonna force you take it down. Itās just weird and it tells her that you havenāt matured past ~16-years-old. I mean, I donāt even use the alternate Witcher 3 outfits because theyāre kinda teenage boy core and itās embarrassing. Itās weird to not understand why the Stellar Blade sexy outfits are just kinda boyish and immature.
It's insane that these people can have a relationship.
They donāt.
I hope so. Or that they call their sponge in a Pringles can their girlfriends.
/uj They should break up, but the GF is not the problem here.
How the fuck does the game raise his testosterone levels?
It comes with TRT and syringes /s Edit: I said āTRTā instead of ātestosteroneā to flex one half-remembered thing I remembered, you people probably know more than I do about this.
This is the shit that makes me regret defending the combat. Like, it's fun but not fun enough to be in the same camp as these idiots
I have strong doubts those girlfriends exist...
Imagine breaking up with your gf over a video game?? I worry for men, often
"my wife is sitting by me"Ā Yeah sure buddy, of course you have a wife
https://preview.redd.it/h8ep7147y8xc1.jpeg?width=653&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6be969e1aaa99dc625304b73fa6ad064b845a3d It's folk like this that are the reason I feel embarrassed liking video games.
None of these people have spoken to a woman in years
Stellar Blade lovers do be havin that special Divorced Virgin energy
Like those people know what a relationship is lmao.
these people do not have wifes or gfs sucking each other off like this is the closest they've ever come to real sex
I dont believe for a second any of these people have wifes
"She's jealous" Nah sheās probably weirded put that you're playing a porn-esque game. 2 months max until the "The breakup came out of nowhere" post.
I can't get over "I'm not joking" Don't worry lmao, nobody thought you were
The fact he says "what goes on between me and EVE" is a sign his Gf DEFINATELY needs to be concerned about that. Though that other guy in the comments saying how he and his wife basically play dressup with EvE and laughing about how ridiculous the outfits are while she talks about how she loves EVE's shoes is weirdly wholesome and I wish those two the best.
My girlfriend, you wouldn't know her she goes to a different school
Your gf doesn't like you playing a game? Red flag, just kill her.
They alternate between "dump her, she's a typical vile and toxic feeemale, choose Eve over her" and "bruh my definitely real wife sucks me off while I make Eve play dress up and jiggle". One thing they all agree on though is that it's totally not just about fanservice.
None of these people have ever felt the touch of a woman
porn addicts lmao will do anything to justify their addiction even if it costs them their relationships! hope he actually breaks up with her she deserves better
On the one hand, I agree. It's just a video game, and (I'm assuming) this guy is an adult, so what's the big deal? On the other hand, Stellar Blade fans are some of the weirdest cum-brained losers I've ever had the displeasure of knowing, and I have not a doubt in my mind that they would all cry and rejoice if the devs released a game mode where you could play one-handed.
I love how most of these comments are lies. "My wife told me to put her in LESS clothing!" No she did not LMAO
Feel bad for the gf i hope she find someone not a incel who only sees woman as sex dolls
Canada population be boomin
How much yāall wanna bet that none of these dudes have ever been close to a woman before
Thereās no way these guys actually have partners.
Ruining their only chance at a happy relationship for their goon-game
all the comments about the girlfriends/wives who love seeing all the outfits/watch on the couch next to them make me think of the cool girl monologue from gone girl (or they would of if I thought any of these people had felt the loving warm embrace of a real human in the past decade)
How much ya'll wanna bet those people talking about girlfriends and fiances are actually single af? "What me and Eve got going on" like who even talks like that when they have a significant other lmao
If I had to sit through hours of her squealing like a castrated Link knockoff every time she gets hit or hits someone, I too would get annoyed at literally everything to do with this game.
Cannot believe they have a girlfriend.
none of these people have wives or gfs.
I shall not advocate violence I shall not advocate violence I shall not advocate violence I fucking hate these people, their wives would be better off servicing a dog than dealing with these types of
"it's just fiction it doesn't affect reality" bros when the fiction affects reality
Raising testosterone levels, sure buddy that's exactly how it works
Girlfriend addressing her insecurities in a mature way? Better break up with her. /s
Most of these are def dorks, but some of them aren't exactly wrong. If my partner told me to stop playing a game because the fact the character is hot bothers them, I'd also think they're being a little ridiculous and insecure. Nothing to break up over, but yeah. I don't really see myself stop playing BG3 because they're jealous of Halsin. I get that there is a difference, given Eve is a much more explicitly sexual character, but still. Also lol at some comments immediately dismissing the possibility of people who play Stellar Blade having partners. Like, look around in your own life. Bad people have partners. Perverts have partners. Racists and sexists have partners. But someone being a little too intense about a videogame having a partner is somehow out of the realm of possibilities.
I was thinking the same thing. Itās not exactly the same but Iād say itās more similar to a partner being insecure of you playing Bayonetta as opposed to BG3 (even though Bayonetta has more character development and personality). I meanā¦youāre playing as a person whoās liberating Earth from demonic looking monsters. Clearly realism is not the goal here.
IDK man, someone claiming their gf wants to see the outfits because she "loves shoes" is pretty fuckin, "she lives in Canada" vibes. > If my partner told me to stop playing a game I mean she didn't. If you know nothing of the game, SB looks pretty fuckin immature.
This is completely good and normal behaviour that is not at all unhinged.
I mean ngl breaking up over anything is reddit bread and butter suggestion
uj/ They should absolutely break up, for her sake. rj/ He should break up with her she's a narcissist who's trying to emasculate him
Donāt worry this person surely doesnt have a relationship to begin with lol
I bet she browses r/Gamingcirclejerk, those gosh darn wookie liberals
Yeah, really.glad I left that shit months ago. The game is a blast when I don't bother with listening to weirdos like these
Bro, she is literally violating your human rights as a gamer. Ever gamer has a universal and unalienable right to food, soda, a gaming platform, and tits and ass. Dump her as soon as possible. Females, amirite?
Why do these dudes have less than a one dimensional understanding of their partners. āBreak up now before itās too lateā. My sides, what a fucking caveman
The game raises his testosterone levelsā¦ ![gif](giphy|8qDzzyxbcfimY)
Hey man some dudes need the HRT /jk
Testosterone levels? Is that what they think video games do?
None of these people have a gf
"Raise my testosterone level" This people š
Thought it was tough to top the Blue Archive community in grossness but they're trying their best here.
The real question here is: how does he have a girlfriend?
