This isn't actually a thing; just a circle of losers all begging for attention (IGN included)

No way 😂

I’m sure those Canadian girlfriends will be real pissed

don't let them play stardew valley

lol i hate monogamous people (not really but god)

Ima just mute gta6 until release because these stories are too pathetic to indulge.

Yall should go outside and get some fresh air.

Are the angry spouses in the room with us right now

smh he had a whole separate family in "The Sims"

Okay, let them

Pervy hobbit-fancier.

The Iron Bull is superior. I’m currently replaying Inquisition after playing Veilguard, and decided to try Solas…who I haven’t actually successfully romanced before. (I want to see how everything holds up with what I now know. It’s…interesting.)

Most people’s ideal partner these days:

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Y’know, I greatly respect your self-awareness.

“Emotionally” stunted?

Fenris is right there!

That's okay, he needs a partner that he can make worse.

*looks back at my Cullen romance with dawning realization* Huh. I guess that makes sense now.

I'm judging her for being part of the HOA. We are not the same

And yet, Paladins.

#RideTheBull

Correct opinion.

I have absolutely referred to myself as a 'happy little juice box' after playing BG3...

okay but let’s be real that was an insult to hobbits on his part. hobbits are generally speaking better adjusted in addition to having actual hobbies that are not Brooding Broodily!

Spouse confessed to me that he romanced Astarion in his first BG runthrough, despite Astarion being Very Much Not His Type, but ended up dumping him because he was *too* emotionally unstable XD

If the in game couple have a healthy relationship and he gets in trouble if he is a doofus, said girlfriend might benefit from gameplay 

good thing this is the first game to have a mechanic like this, and that there's no genre of games primarily about this sort of thing

i do agree that were someone to believe this it would be worth breaking up over

Did this "bunch of angry spouses" come from twitter?

Outrage factory go brrrrrrr

But not their digital libraries of "Dominated By The Werewolf Alpha" books, huh?

Thats some 8th grade lunch shit. Grow up

50 shades of red flag

A) I doubt it's a "bunch." A scattered few, maybe B) If they feel that way? Just break up with them now. Anyone who can't tell the difference between fantasy and real life is a major problem waiting to happen. Get out now and save yourself the trouble

Two things: 1)wtf?? 2) why the guy looks like BG's Gale?? 🤣

five women with bpd screaming on tiktok does not a trend make

Fake news, plus dead game. 0 Players on Steam.

This feels like just another example of things still being in the literal age and people really have lost any media literacy. Along with a bunch of other unsettled, problems.....

True equality is when both men and women find previously unfathomed ways to be dumb assholes about a video game.

Rockstar couldn’t imagine centering a game on a female protagonist without pissing their male fanbase so they’re going to let them meat puppet both sides of an interracial relationship which is sure to produce some super normal cogent reasons for enjoying gta6.

*cackles in ERP*

I've been jacking off to Mario for years and my wife has never said shit.

Heyyyy look everyone, it's another GTA ad!!!

Controlling, insecure people are and have always been controlling, insecure people. And there have been accusations of "emotional cheating" with fictional characters before.

My husband, meanwhile, not only bought me a Gale of Waterdeep body pillow pillowcase, but also helped me put it on said body pillow. He understands a virtual wizard isn't going to come through the computer screen and ruin our marriage because I romanced him while playing a lizard man. I love him.

Yeah and overwatch won game of the year, awards mean nothing but hype And fifa and call of duty also sell millions every year, sales and awards are not a sign of quality

I’m so glad Keiko is cool with your holodeck simulations.

She worships the goddess of Nothing Mattters I Don't Care Go Die In A Hole, and you e pect self-respect?

Which is funny because Wrath of the Righteous lets you romance a sickly rizzless mutant who thinks basic hygiene is a sign of weakness, and it's quite easy to fumble her if she feels condescended to.

She is such a vulnerable character cuz of it… though it makes sense as she was basically raised to be that way. When trying to be good in the game (if that’s a want for folks) encouraging her to find out what she wants wants is something!

Shart when I dump her in Act 2 for Bae'zel:

we don't actually need an article about every type of weirdo that appears on the internet

And here I was Wishing it would teach men to be better boyfriends

These little piss ant babies would perish in the sacred house of Dragon Age lmao

"a bunch" is straining credulity in this sentence

This is not a thing, you're being lied to.

But realistically, it’s probably more like a few loud handfuls of people if this is happening rather than like the majority of people who would not give a shit.

Valid!

No.

You might want to sit down for this one, but it turns out people can post stuff on the Internet that they don't actually believe.

Hm. Still waiting I see

Yeah, its clearly just marketing.

I’m still skeptical that the bpd supersoldiers are experiencing more player immersion in what is happening in the game than the people playing

Sounds like a lot of people shouldn't be married

I did have an ex that got mad at me for having a "girlfriend" in Mass Effect

This is such obvious marketing bullshit

....this just feels like a advertisement for the game. "Look! Our game is so in-depth and realistic that it's causing people to call it cheating!"

There’s a worldwide Being Normal About GTA VI contest going on and a lot of stiff competition.

no they don't

What a world we live in

Name one. Your wife doesn’t count.

I know sadly. It’s just embarrassing to think.

don't sign your posts

No they do not. That is not true. Liar.

....what?

A "bunch". On social media. Such is the state of video game news in 2026.

3, plus whatever dumb non-influencers bought into it in the comments manufactured outrage is always great advertising

Heterocentric nonsense 😂

Meanwhile my wife and I get excited when we decide to date the same character 😂

You probably don't have to publish everything that stupid people tell you.

The kids aren’t all right.

Yeah, Ok that's enough now IGN. Bye bye

You have to understand that most people only play Call of Duty, the latest sports titles and GTA.

Next you're going to tell me that a bunch of angry spouses on social media believe that Charlie Brown had hos

Skill issue. All relationships could benefit from a problematic latina baddy.

If they actually believe that, its a red flag in your relationship

I kinda hate this modern media trend of finding a popular thing, then highlighting a small subsection of randos online who dislike it. These spouses have insecurity and probably either neglect or emotional dependency. Their problems are much bigger than gta if this is an actual concern for them.

Are they seriously doing a "your mom doesnt like Dantes Inferno" thing? How out of touch ARE these losers

No they don’t

Why would i ever care? Why would anyone?

no disc no buy

My sister is very much like this. Kissing on screen is fine for her but anything more is crossing the line. I'm unsure about novels. There is a whole saga with her about how she thought porn bots were real people talking to her husband. (I'm talking spam bots in DMs before gen ai)

You'd only have to watch '50 Shades..' once, I wager.

Those aren't real people you idiots

Someone being made angry by their spouse cheating on them in a dream was a cliche long before COVID. Insecurity has been a thing for a long time.

These are very insecure people who clearly don’t think their relationship is very stable as it is.

Most medias get paid for advertisement but if you get it for free 😂

A bunch of comments saying that this is a made up thing. I've seen at least 10 different TikToks stitched by mutuals, all about how GTA 6 is going too far. And as someone who was in a relationship where my ex was upset about Haley from fuckin' SDV & refused to play it, yeah. It is real.
