Posting a confession to a crime on social media is probably reason enough for the girl to not even let it go to courts and just pay before lawyers are even called.
You're assuming we're dealing with reasonable people. The fact that a game disc was even broken to begin with tells me that is perhaps the wrong assumption.
The fact that a game disc was even broken to begin with tells me that this was probably fake like a large number of other things that end up on Tumblr.
True, although I'm sure I've seen this faked before for other game releases. Variations of "my boyfriend cheated on me so I smashed his game disc" or "my girlfriend broke my copy of Skyrim because I didn't want to watch Dance Moms". So I wouldn't really be surprised if it was fake, but then again I also wouldn't be surprised if someone was crazy enough to do that and post it to social media.
It also suggests she's probably not old enough to have enough money to be worth suing. Cut your losses, dump her now, move on.

You'd be surprised how often social media is entered as criminal discovery and defendants still won't take the very good deal their attorney negotiated them.
I can't imagine its very different for civil damages cases
Guessing this isn't the first or last thing she'll break to control him.

Then he needs to re-evaluate his relationship. Suing her in small claims every time she breaks something is not an especially reasonable long-term relationship strategy.

This is one of those situations where, if you really need to claim a moral victory, you've already lost some of it.
If the situation really gets to the point where you're considering suing your girlfriend for $60 over a destroyed disk, you're much better off just breaking any contact and claiming the higher moral ground.

I've never been to civil court, but I thought the defendant pays fees if they lose.
No reasonable person would show up for such a ridiculously small amount. They'll lose on default of course but good luck getting them to pay up... They could ignore the judgement ad infinitum and nothing would ever happen.

That's an exception, rather than rule, in the American civil system.
I don't know what jurisdiction you are in, or whether you are basing it off one of those Court shows like Judge Judy, but in mine, lawyers are allowed to represent people in small claims.
$60 is a relatively small price to pay for a legitimate reason to completely cut this person out of his life rather than engaging in what is bound to be an exhausting ordeal to try and get any sort of compensation.
Edit: Besides, it's not like his save files are lost.

Or you could do what my brother and I do we wait 2-3 weeks after a game has come out get a preowned copy of it and if we return it within a week we get all our money back. We can it the GameStop rent.
Considering the inconvenience this bitch caused him, she can pay in full for all I care. I mean fuck, even a Redpiller doesn't deserve this level of cruelty..
Legal help? It's a fucking 60 dollar game... You'll be charged more than that for talking to a lawyer on his piss break. It's $40 alone just to file a small claim - not to mention it'll probably take half your day - and if that's worth the extra $20 then I think you are a lot closer to loser thinking this is worthy a violent response.

We're a weird mix of libertarian and liberal. Guns are ok, weed is ok, don't mess with us and we'll just sit here get drunk and ignore everything else.
If you're in the Denver, Boulder, CO Springs, or Pueblo metro areas where most of the people live the climate isn't so much cold as variable. We get snow, but it doesn't necessarily stay on the ground for more than a week or so. For context, in Denver the record high for January was 76 degrees (freedom units). Even in winter there are plenty of mild, sunny days.
Another thing to consider is that because it's so dry, 40 degrees in Denver doesn't feel as cold as 40 degrees in, say, Boston or Chicago.
I just don't like the cold at all, period. I live in Illinois and I absolutely hate our winters/late falls/early springs. Give me humid, sticky heat over dry cold any day.

My Ex broke my 2 xboxs', shattered a pair of Oakley sunglasses, cut some of my clothes with a knife and threw my phone off a 5 story parking garage because she thought I had cheated. Turns out she cheated...with 3 different guys. Not to mention repeated physical violence (think calling into work because your face is all scratched up) Didn't fully realize that I was the victim in an abusive relationship until months after we broke up. Decided to go to therapy and the whole 9 yards. She really fucked me up
Yeah you'd have to be some type of psychotic, controlling abusive person to wreck someone's stuff for not paying attention to you. But I mean to be fair, punching your s.o. in the teeth for breaking your shit isn't the best option either. Make them buy you a new one and leave their ass. Don't get thrown in jail over Fallout 4.

Men are far more unlikely to report abuse, most likely due to social norms. Women don't really have this problem. This can also explain the higher rate of suicide for men.
That's why you get digital download instead of buying discs.

can you really blame them? I'm surprised they even shipped physical cases to stores. downloads are more convenient for the buyer, don't scratch or break, and increase profits for the companies by preventing used game sales + use of resources on physical copies. It's a win/win, provided your internet works, which for most people PC gamers is true.
I know of at least 4 friends who use xbox who don't download games as it takes us sometimes a week to download. I get about .3gB/hr max download speed, so a game can take weeks of tying up my internet just to download. This is because I live in a rural area. Not everyone lives in the city.

Like I said, most people have this sort of internet. You're the unfortunate exception.
[deleted] · 3 points · Posted at 17:45:32 on November 18, 2015 · (Permalink)
Well, for most people, you have the standard 3 download/1.5 upload speeds (in megabits per second). Now consider as well that you have on average 5 to 10 devices on your home network (game consoles, cell phones, computers, smart TVs, etc.), and divide that traffic among all the devices. Even if you have the 3 Mbp/s download speed, when splitting the signal across the channel along all devices you may see it as low as 0.75 Mbp/s on average.
Even on a higher end plan, if you have a lot of devices connected, then your download speeds suffer. Looking at this national broadband map, we can see that very few areas are servicing >1 Gbp/s speeds, and those that do are a much higher price.
Going down to 25 Mbp/s is where you really see the numbers increase which indicates the majority of residential user plans.
It's still a bad business plan to write off 15% of your sales, which is probably close to the number of people who don't have stellar internet or data caps. I have lived in the cities, and I couldn't download games because each one used up 1/5 of my data cap.
Its an estimate. 15% America has no internet in the home, so I assume a similar amount has slow internet or a data cap. Chances are it is much higher. Yall thinking everyone lives in a city with cable internet speeds is hilarious to me. We just got "fast" internet here that is affordable. My parents had 56k until 2009. Then I went to college, and they finally got dsl, which is still slow as hell compared to what I had in the city. If you want better speeds where I live you have to pay around 220 bucks a month. That's ridiculous, and it also has a data cap. Something like 75% of America only has 1 provider option.
I love having physical discs. I also love reading physical books. I guess I like the feel of turning a page, and the feeling of watching a disk get sucked in by my xbox.
I even make a slurping noise when it does it. It's the simple things that keep me happy.
I miss the days when developers shipped booklets with every game and sometimes added extras. Loved looking ad the art on those and reading the bits of lore they added sadly these have gone the way of the dodo
Pro tip: Don't store expensive things which can be broken by stepping on them on floor. I've never stepped on a game disk because I don't keep them on the floor.
I'm surprised they even shipped physical cases to stores.
Boxes on shelves provide another form of advertisement. That's really the main benefit to manufacturers, other than the extra sales from people in rural areas with crappy internet.
It's for parents/grandparents buying games as presents mostly. As a steam gamer I know it's ridiculous. But stores like Best Buy or Walmart don't want to suddenly be left out of the games market and they don't want their employees to be trying to explain to 80 year old grandmas how Steam works. So they still stock boxes with bright colors and installer files.

This isn't the only reason. I want hardcopy of everything so it's easier for me to get that rather then re-download, and because mist if the time they are not cutting me a deal if I buy the digital(which cost a lot less to make) so fuck them, I'll take the box thankyou.

Safer to have a physical copy. When you buy software you buy the literal licence to the game. The supplier may change the terms of that licence/withdraw the redownload feature. Where you have a physical copy of the licensed software the supplier cannot so easily change the terms of your licence.
It's not so simple. Physical copies aren't always DRM-free. Windows is a good example of that, requiring you to purchase a license and enter a key after you install it.

Hasn't happened yrt. It has happened to other things. I've lost albums on music services because they were withdrawn from the service to be replaced with a slightly different mix of the album, which the provider then refused to simply 'exchange' (if that's the right word).
Just take good care of your possessions like a sensible adult.
That would only happen with a streaming service. If you buy an album from iTunes or Amazon then download it to your computer they can't magically change it over the Internet.

If you change device (which everyone does pretty frequently) they could refuse to let you redownload.
The girlfriend sounds like she has untreated borderline personality disorder and the blogger thinks all women have untreated borderline personality disorder probably because his ex's did.
I dunno know what kind of borderline that lady has, but not even my own darkest BPD moments resembled this. I'd hurt myself before I hurt others or their things.
This is why I specified "untreated", generally people who know they have BPD and care to treat it are not at risk of acting like this - they actually care about fixing their behaviour and realise it's a disorder. It's the ones who don't get any help who act out.
Pfft, you have to get a girlfriend to have an ex girlfriend man.

I honestly believe that most of the extreme red-pillers have had girlfriends, or been in some sort of relationship with a woman, and have either been expecting something completely different or ended up with a complete psycho that left a lasting impression. I don't think guys who haven't been in a relationship would act that violently unless they've been rejected like a zillion times, but even then I don't think they'd be this violent and more just really pissed off.

women: not even once
I believe the commenter conceded your point there.
They're extremely similar disorders, borderline is the female version and narcissism is the male version. Srsly look up the gender ratios for diagnosis.
How is that relationship going if you don't mind me asking? It must be quite... interesting.
Males can be borderline without being narcissistic and females and be narcissistic without being borderline. Borderlines still care about others and overvalue others opinions. While Narcs only think about themselves and often completely lack any empathy.
Using my relationship as an example, I recently was promoted into management. My boyfriend has been trying to undermine it (we work at the same store) and has told me to my face that he hates the fact I make more than him. He also told me that my schedule better not change because it affects how often we carpool (I work 5 days, he works 4, I drive to his house and pick him up for work everyday he works because our schedule over laps.) He only thinks about how my promotion affects him and his plans.
Less than an hour ago I was out to dinner with one of his clients. I took a stumble in the parking lot. When I told him about it he simply asked if I was able to close the deal. Not if I was okay, did I break or bruise anything, just if I managed to get him his money.
Narcs are cold, borderlines are hot. That's the best way I can describe the difference.
I can't laugh at "slice her throat", that's way not fucking okay.

Apparently her boyfriend doesn't have a job so she bought it for him and then when he didn't appreciate it she broke it, but that's what she's saying so I don't know how true it is. She's also telling people they can just buy him a new Fallout if they feel so strongly about it and even went so far as to give his PayPal account. She also completely changed that pictures caption to something about him being the "sweetest guy in the world" which seems extremely disturbing when you realize the original caption.
That would be some crazy elaborate shit for a new game. I mean she's getting threatened and told to kill herself but at the same time she's still got her profile as public which strikes me as a red flag because if she wanted it to stop it would make sense to make her account private. It's confusing as all hell but I guess that's what you should expect with things like this.

Yeah, but the way he's supported himself is terrible. He's got his shoulders and arse against the chair, with the mid- and lower-back just hanging between them. That's bad for the muscles, man.
Threats have always existed. So yes it's worse than property damage, but it was said somewhat anonymously and without specification. As such it's a low-level threat.
Property destruction and then threatening future property destruction of more property is serious, criminal and grounds for at least a visit from police and a civil court case. If I was the boyfriend I would have told her to fuck off and don't come back.
Ditto. You don't respect my property, you obviously don't respect me. And I don't hate myself enough to stay with someone who obviously has no respect for me.
I kind of feel bad for the dude, but honestly, I feel like he's kind of a pussy for just taking it. I would have asked her to pack her shit up and leave. Especially if she's going around bragging about it online. Girls like that aren't worth the shit they have plastered to their faces.

If my girlfriend were to give me an ultimatum between Fallout 4 and her, I choose Fallout 4, because I don't want to date someone psychotic enough to feel actually threatened for my attention by a video game.
This reminded me of something that happened to me about a week ago.
I asked someone at work who games if they got Fallout 4. He told me his wife only lets him buy one game a year because she doesn't like him playing them. This older woman who was also there said "Good for her! I like her! Tell her I like her!"
I'd say what the fuck to the dude more than the woman. I can't have respect for a man that beaten down by his wife. My wife is my partner, not my boss or my mom.
EDIT: To clarify, I mean beaten down as in taking the "happy wife, happy life" mantra to the "set yourself on fire to keep her warm" level. If the relationship is genuinely abusive, that's all on the opposite party (the abuser)
I've seen this a lot with my friends. They fall head over heels for a girl and just do whatever they want whenever they want. A year later the honeymoon phase is over and she's still being bossy and controlling, all while he's complaining to me.
What he doesn't realize is that he created the monster, he basically conditioned her to have an expectation of him to do whatever she says, and when those expectations aren't met she naturally gets upset. Now she looks like a controlling bitch, he looks like a big pussy, and it's all because of the expectations he created in the beginning of the relationship.
Seriously though, you're spot on. What's even worse is that a lot of guys think that it's the norm for you to have to cave to every demand, or that demands are normal in the first place. A few weeks ago, my wife was feeling under the weather the same night I was going to head to a beer tasting at the local zoo, a cold or something. Ended up seeing a few of her co-workers there. They next day, one of them approached her at work and said "thanks for letting ligerzero come out last night". She actually laughed and told him "Let him? I don't let him do anything, he does what he wants."
I guess we must be friends besides my girlfriend has been doing exactly this to me for a year.
Did the whole honeymoon phase thing and moved on from it expecting relationship to continue as normal. She makes me feel like shit since I don't constantly shower her in compliments / long text messages about my undying love for her anymore.
and it's all because of the expectations he created in the beginning of the relationship.
Odd, I thought women had agency. So it's the guy's fault whenever the woman is a controlling piece of shit? I'll admit that a guy makes a mistake in hitching up with a chick thinking she'll "calm down", but I wouldn't pin her personality on his doings. He didn't create anything, the spoiled sack of entitled manipulative shit was raised to be a princess by her parents since day 1, and he was too blindsided by hormones to see she wasn't going to deviate from that anytime soon.
I'm not trying to make the argument that she has no blame, but it was the situational insincerity in the beginning that led everything to get as bad as it is. If he had never acted like this personal servant and just been honest about how he expected to be treated she would have either never become so controlling or the relationship would have failed early on and they would have split.
If you're a man who grew up with a ridiculous helicopter mom who always took away your agency at every turn, I think you're likely to 1) not realize this isn't normal and 2) find a gf taking away your agency comforting or familiar, in a weird sense
A lot of dudes don't get this. They get into a relationship with some hot, tomcat in the sack sexy girl and then they stay because they think that's the best they can get even though they are being treated poorly. They don't care as long as they can say "She's mine"... but not in front of her.
i'm sorry, but can you have respect for a woman "beaten down" by her husband? if yes, then your contempt for men in similar situations makes no sense. it's hard to get out of an abusive/controlling relationship, both for men and women.
If I came off as downplaying men in abusive relationships, my bad. Definitely wasn't my intent.
The reason I have a lack of respect for some men in these situations is because it usually isn't actually a controlling relationship. It's more of a case of the guy putting his wife before himself to the detriment of everything else in his life instead of balancing everything.
Basically the men who take the "if mama ain't happy, nobody's happy" and the "happy wife, happy life" mantras to the "set yourself on fire to keep her warm" levels.
My brother's ex was super controlling and "made him sell" (read: sold it while he was at work one day for $400) his project car, which was an 84 V12 Jag. He had done enough maintenance and retrofitting to this car to make it actually somewhat reliable, which, if you know old jags, is no small feat. It was his baby, and
Fast forward to his new girlfriend, she doesn't like it when he spends one weekend a month working on his new project car (96 Roadmaster Wagon with a built up v8) instead of spending time with her like the other three weekends, and almost every other day of the month. He told her straight up, the car was here before you, so you're gonna have to deal with not seeing me every single day while I take some time to do my hobby.
I was so proud of him for standing up to her, I didn't want to see him have the same issue before. When his ex sold his Jag, it destroyed him. He loved working on and driving that thing.

JESUS FUCK SHE SOLD A WORKING 84 V12 JAG FOR $400??????? NO. FUCK NO. NO. FUCK. WHAT. NO.
She is the only person I have and will continue to call a cunt to her face. Honest to god, worst human being I have ever met, with zero exaggeration whatsoever. I know we like to use hyperbole online a lot, but no. This one, no hyperbole. Fuck that cunt.
Apparently she was a freak in bed though, hence why my brother stayed with her. Dick in crazy, etc etc etc.

Well, if nothing else, this thread is making me feel better about striking out yesterday.
My wife lays in bed and reminds me "I HATE video games. I HATE them." Well, you knew I played them before we got married and I only really play when you're on the phone / asleep, so it's not like they're taking time away from spending it with you. Even then I talk to you in-between multi-player matches.
I guess what I'm saying is she can hate them all she wants to, it's not really going to change my attitude.
I'm pitiful at video games. I like a few, but I just can't get the hang of shooter games like COD. Not to mention, when I relax, I like to relax, and those games put me on edge.
But I'll lay on the bed and watch my boyfriend play for hours. I love watching! I love talking shit to the people he "kills" and I love humoring him when he blames his own "deaths" on the game / internet connection (even though we both know it was his fault.)
Tbh it seems a hell of a lot more fun than laying on the bed and repeating that I hate them. They help him unwind and feel good, and that's a good thing! I can choose to spend time with him while he does it, or I can choose to be upset. I like the former.

I'm a grown ass man. If some woman ever told me I am only allowed to buy one game a year it would be terminal to the relationship. What kind of man lets his wife treat him like a child? Does she give him an allowance too?
Like its shitty, but video game addiction is a real thing. Everyone's bragging about playing 67 hours in 3 days just like college kids who brag about getting fucked up every weekend and some weekdays.
And just because you're in college doesn't mean you aren't an alcoholic.
I know its probably not what happened, but the part of me who wants to see the good in everyone sees this as the compromise of a spouse with a drinking problem letting them drink on their birthday.
One of my college roommates spent over 500,000 hours in World of Warcraft. His in game time was over 1 year. He also played Runescape and said that it was about the same.
I think /played is the cruelest thing blizzard ever did to wow players.

My girlfriend spent 20 minutes convincing me that I should play some Space Engineers last Thursday (I have work and a class until 8pm on Thursdays) after The Big Update instead of spending all night with her, and it was fine and that'd she'd just watch.
My girlfriend went out and bought an extra long hdmi cable to connect my computer to the TV so she could watch me gaming more comfortably. Mine loves watching people stream so we sometimes spend time together by me playing video games for her. It's a truly hard life.
Woah man, you've got a real psycho on your hands there. I applaud how strong you are to endure in such harsh conditions, but if you want, I can take her off your hands.
Since we are on the note of Fallout with this topic chain, My girlfriend/soon to be fiance LOVES Fallout just as much as I do. In fact, I talked it over with her and rather than a diamond ring, she would rather have a sterling silver "Vault 111 cog door" ring. And for actual wedding ring, just plain gold band, which will then be turned into a necklace (<---she was never big on jewelry anyway, and prefers bracelets and necklaces to rings). Now if only they made a multiplayer Fallout, we would be inseperable.

Be wary of such things. Seems awesome and cute now but it might seem dumb when you're older. Or maybe not. Maybe it will just retain value as something cute and dumb you did together :) Just think about it properly.
Trust me, I have already put thought into that, and it will most likely stay in the "cute and dorky" category, though we have never let that stand in our way before. Even if it she doesnt wear it all the time, it will still be a funny story we can tell friends, family, hypothetical children, etc. If nothing else, we will certainly remember it, and I doubt we would look back poorly on something as happy as proposing and will say "Remember how I gave you a Fallout-themed ring? That sure was goofy."
I'm a gamer myself, which is why I found the whole thing so fucked up. I would never restrict my boyfriend's gaming and I'd grow to resent him if he restricted mine. I hate that the hobby is so demonized in some circles that restricting a loved ones access is an amazing thing to be praised. Like his wife is a brave strong woman for it or something. So bizarre.
Totally, I feel like the guy has to be to blame for this too, at least a little. I made it clear to my girlfriend that there would be weekend that I couldn't hang out because I'm sitting home with my friends smoking and playing video games. She wasn't exactly fine with it, but she accepts it and doesn't take offense to it.

That is a good choice. While I was dating my ex, I actually had quite a few days where I was worried that I'd come home to my monitors being smashed. Meanwhile... she would be always playing Borderlands 2 with her fuckboi. So I guess it was only OK to play games if you were not me. Meanwhile, I was working my ass off and playing maybe a couple hours a day.
In contrast... my boyfriend and I are both playing the hell out of Fallout 4 and we are having a good time talking about all aspects of the game. We pretty much decided that we needed to buy it when it came out... so we did. It's a really good time and even if he had bought Battlefront instead (his first choice), I would've sat back and watched him since I am terrible at Battlefront. Even if I wasn't a gamer myself. Why? Because it is something he enjoys and I love seeing him happy and occasionally salty.
What I can't fathom though is people thinking that someone being hyped for an inanimate object must mean that they don't love anything else. It is like these people think games are something to compete over or something.

Now you just sound like you're looking for an excuse to play Fallout 4 and/or dump your girlfriend.
IDK, I had to have an intervention with my s/o when he was playing Black Ops 2 too much. Granted, we went two weeks without talking because he was too busy playing that shit before I got fed up.

Yeah granted I've never prioritized video games so much that I don't see people. That's what depression is for.
I mean this lady is obviously a little psycho but there is definitely such a thing as too much video game time in a relationship. If you spend more time with a console than your girlfriend, then you either need to not have a girlfriend, find a girl that plays videogames, or find one that doesn't actually enjoy your company.
Terrible girlfriend who defines playing video games as abuse + ridiculous Redpiller whose immediate reaction is physical violence plus sweeping condemnation of women
These two would make an excellent dysfunctional married couple

I thought redpillers were into seducing women and treating like sex objects. The not even once attitude is more in line with the forever alone crowd who pretend their sad perpetual virginity is actually a choice to be celibate because women so crazy etc.
Yea, that attitude doesn't strike me as Redpill. They're more apt to have finished with a "NEXT" than whatever that outburst was.

Pretty much. Redpillers would look down on letting a woman get a rise out of you, let alone with threats of violence. It's amazing how much free traffic they've been given by Redditors invoking their name unnecessarily.
Edit: Ironically, there's a bunch of beaten down men further down in the thread that might actually benefit from the non-sexist parts of the red pill, but I'm guessing it won't get invoked there.

How so? If people hadn't brought them up needlessly, fewer people would know of them and fewer people might have found a home there. By giving traffic to TRP specifically, it's been given more exposure as well.

Where do you guys get that this is a red piller? From my readings of TRP, they are very anti-violence, and are very very against on-woman-violence, because they know if they hit a woman, they are fucked.
Not sure why you'd conflate red pill with hating women. I absolutely love women. TRP is a great way of learning how to interact and have good success with women.
I'd equate hating women more with "MGTOW" or "MRAs". But a guy learning how to have success and fuck lots of women is not going to recommend throat punching them or anything ridiculous like that.
Generally redpill advice teaches stoicism (not getting angry and especially not sharing or showing your emotions to a woman), and not playing video games at all (or sparingly).
He's not red pill if anything he is a sorry beta. That's disgusting if that is such a big deal red pill philosophy tells you to walk away and find a better woman not beat her because you got angry.
This is redpill so your girlfriend went jealous and shit tested you by breaking fallout 4, first off you shouldn't even get angry just walk away and never talk to her again. If you ignored her texts for a day by tomorrow she should be offering to repay for the game you can either take that or just close that door, entirely up to you but do not make amends since she has shown to be possessive and jealous over innate objects. Overall she is just too needy to be a good partner so either drop or plate her if she's good in bed if she isn't you're an idiot for tolerating her so long.

You should have stopped after the first sentence, bro. Don't teach other people about trp. The trp thing to do would have been to ask her calmly(stoic) if she's going to buy you a new one. When she does, or doesn't you still bail the out. You don't want that kind of negativity, and crazy in your life.

Basically he's saying:
"You should have enough self respect to realize that this isn't the type of person you want to be with. Cut her loose and find someone better."
To be fair I did fuck a legitimately batshit girl who got turned on from cutting herself, cut my name in her leg, and randomly cried all the time, because she was soooooo fucking hot, like so far out of my league it's ridiculous. Stayed with her right until she left me for another guy who was over 50 years old.

You are wrong. TRP is where betas go to get better, but then they clog up the drain. Then they become the TRP "extremists" who bend, and twist the main reason trp exists with their anger towards women. TRP isn't a gospel. It's a place to find out how to be a better man. To self improve, to figure out not just how women think, but how men do too. A big part of TRP is stoicism. So any guy that seems angry, and says he's TRP is full of shit. He's another one of the many who read a few posts, and thinks he has it all figured out. Kind of like a lot of women who preach feminism. They twist the message, and ruin it for the rest of us.
I actually love women more than ever since I found TRP. More importantly I love myself, and realize nobody can make me better except me.
Ironically this is also what she should have done instead of breaking someone else's stuff. If he wants to play fallout instead of spending time together, she should have ignored him and go out, have fun by yourself. Ignoring him until he notices. If he doesn't, walk away and find a man that's better suited.
you'd be surprised how pathetic some people are. I know a guy who's been with a girl for 2 years (she has no job, is 39 and lives with her ex husband) and when they fight she has been known to just start breaking his shit....I've heard this happening when we lived together.

This fact ALONE sets off some crazy red flags. That poor guy needs help.
Wow there has to be something seriously wrong there for him to allow himself to be in that situation. The sad part is that people in that situation will not listen to reason. Had a friend who would get into these kinds of relationships with women
Had two firends who were flatting together and one of them had a gf who would do the same shit. They were both playing the other's xbox when she decided to flip the fuck out and she picked it up and threw it out the second story window, also fucking an SCART port on the TV. So he called the police, pressed charges and kicked her out of the house.

As dumb as it is to say, there sometimes are cases of 'beta males'. I knew a guy who would be constantly dumped by a girl, only to get back together with her after a few days. He stopped hanging out with his friends and pretty much spent all of his time with his girlfriend. The girlfriend would get very nasty if anyone tried to pull him away from her or the guy wanted to hang out with us. Sadly he was too meek to actually do anything, and sort of wishy-washily gave up trying.
Some people feel like they need a relationship to have an identity, like co-dependency issues. Those are the people who are reeled in by those controlling fuckers. Happens to both men and women.
Or combine the two hobbies. My girlfriend laid next to me in bed constantly trying to talk to me about Facebook stuff and Snapchats. It was actually quite obnoxious but I got to play fallout for a couple extra hours and she seemed happy cause I still have her attention.
Everyone was a winner

Ok, just to be clear, the guy suggesting she deserves to be beaten, shit like that? Completely out of line.
That said.
Fuck this pervasive notion that casual acts of aggression and/or destruction by women are part of the expected social contract between the genders, that guys are just expected to take it in stride. Breaking a guys things for "ignoring" you (which, news flash, is not "abuse" in any event), slapping him for saying something that offends you, whatever? It needs to fucking stop. It doesn't do any side of this any good.
A few more criminal charges filed might start to wake people up, but of course nobody is going to bother for "trivial" stuff.

How many times have you seen the trope of the woman throwing the cheating boyfriend's belongings out of the window, or burning them?
Well, never honestly. No one I know has ever gone though this ordeal, but I'm willing to bet the perpetrator would face consequences for property destruction. My friends are real people and not characters in a poorly written romantic comedy, so that might be the issue.
People in my life also say "goodbye" when hanging up the phone. It's weird.
Or rape as a joke when the victim is a man? Its pretty fucking pervasive.
I get what you're saying now. We need to find a way to make popular media more politically correct. This sort of humor is certainly damaging to society. They should at least preface those kinds of jokes with a trigger warning or something.
The jokes in a lot of media often have kernels of truth somewhere. And it's getting better. A lot of it is ugly, leftover "man up" bullshit that we're slowly working our way through.
It's never so much been "women should behave this way", but rather an all-to-common refrain "guys shouldn't behave this way", where "this way" means "complain about being mistreated by women".
Beyond that, what can I really say? I could give examples, but they wouldn't match your experiences, so we'd just be trading anecdotes back and forth and accomplishing very little.
Growing up with the abuse from a mother that had BPD, I only see this one way:
They picked up a weapon to use against your things. How long before they pick up a weapon to use against you?
In my life experience, not long. You break my shit instead of talking, you're out the door. Relationship over. Length of time is irrelevant. Nothing you can say will change this. You have 10 seconds to leave before I call the police. Anything in the house that is yours can be identified as a list forwarded to my attorney. At an appointed time and date in the future, you will be allowed to remove it from the property with a police escort. I'm not afraid to cut off the leg to save the body.
Most likely fake. His PayPal account was posted and I imagine it's to try and scam people into giving money for a "new game" to replace the one she "broke".
Yeah definitely fake then. Just seems a little too shady.

Kingdom hearts was the main reason I got a PS2 back in the day (then I had a hayday with everything else on that glorious console) I bought a DS for Kingdom hearts, PSP for kingdom hearts And a 3DS for kingdom hearts. I think I'll keep the trend going for the PS4.
I always wondered why stereotypical neckbeards and tumblerinas are always insulting each other. I mean they have so so much in common.
Both groups are over entitled narcissists who think they deserve nothing but the best (jobs, mates, treatment from others). They really only differ in the why of it. Neckbeards think they're entitled to it because they're such misunderstood nice guys in a world that values 'alphas'. Tumblerinas think they're entitled to it because the world is out to get them and they're the lone champions of the 'oppressed'.
Although I suppose this is what would happen if they ever got together.

I had a woman throw my Nintendo SNES out on the street once. She also threw a remote control at my head and made me bleed once. I never responded back with violence. I say that guy is a jerk for his response, but no more of a jerk than she was. The idea that he needs to held to a higher standard than she does is not valid though if you ask me.

Agreed. Everyone should be held to a high standard. Regardless of genitals.
As a lawyer, anyone who goes straight to "Lawsuit!" And starts listing causes of action and crimes that they think are relevant makes me chuckle. There's no lawyer in the world who will take your $60 video game lawsuit and it'll cost you more than that just to file in most small claims courts. Plus, any prosecutor will laugh you out of the room when you say you want her in jail for breaking your video game. It's shifty that she did it, but you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the average stakes in our legal system.
Hate to disagree with you, bud, but I've seen misdemeanor malicious mischief domestic violence cases(intentional destruction of property of another worth less than $750 belonging to a family or household member) prosecuted through jury trial over broken dishes worth less than $60. Every element of the charge is met in the photo and description. Talk about an easy job for a prosecutor.
By the by, thanks for calling it a legal system. I cringe when it's called the justice system.

I'm 100% sure that OP has no actual clue of what TRP is actually about, and simply dismisses it as a bunch of violent, women-abusing misogynists.

Oh, violence against women isn't part of the Red Pill? Someone should go let their sub know that, because they are always pushing, smacking, pinning down, grabbing, and dragging women in their pathetic "FR"s. There was that one guy who forced his fingers down his GF's throat.
FRs' point isn't boasting about how you handled the situation, it's more about opening the newcomer's eyes. So that guy from the beginning has done it wrong, his actions do not represent redpill and majority of redpill knows that violence isn't a part of the idea.
Even if it was, doing anything other than defending yourself (not even self-defense violence) is not advised by TRP since if the ground is equal, it is believed that people will declare the man at fault.
So either way, violence is not advised. As /u/shuritsen said, people don't know shit about RP.

It was a GayLubeOil post from about a month ago. The tone was, counter to the comment I replied to, very much a bragging tone about "getting things done".
Edit: I am trying to find it to post an actual source. It is no longer in his post history, which makes me think I am misremembering the poster, and it wasn't GLO but another endorsed contributor. I know for a fact I commented on the BP write up for it so it won't be long till I find it.
EDIT2: I still cannot find this damn post. I know it exists. I have limited capabilities on mobile and I'm going crazy. If anyone has seen this post and can find a link, whether to the actual TRP post or the write-up on TBP, please let me know.
Right but the word the super trusted red pill vanguard actually used was "raped."
Maybe you could argue he wasn't being literal... except no, wait, the first line of the post says "Not pussyfooting around this one. Title is literal." Oops.
Well I'd rather not defend a post that was upvoted to a lofty score of 95 as we're discussing what a "red pill" ideology entails and not this one mediocre post ... Every woman I've been with has absolutely loved being "taken" by me. Usually not abused or hurt but dominated.
For example, my wife goes nuts when I slap her and pin her arms down. I don't do it for me I do it for her lol. All I mean to say is that TRP by definition is simply the confrontation of truth and the truth can really hurt for a bit. eg. when we see the man come out of Plato's cave and is blinded by the sun (This is what red pillers call "the anger phase")
The ravishment fantasies that women have can be very confusing for both men and women so I'm not surprised when I see young angry men swing to the entirely opposite spectrum for some time before they figure out that's wrong as well...
The "mediocre post" you're referring to was written by a red pill vanguard. He's meant to be one of the leaders of the community, someone who has wisdom and knows what's what. Clearly TRP takes the guy seriously.
Certainly it's true a fuckload of women do indeed enjoy being dominated in the bedroom but it's easy to just say that without equating it to literal rape for the purposes of what I can only guess is pure clickbait and purposefully crafted rage material.
It's like if a SJW says they think men should be killed to create equality. Yeah the equality bit is good, the rest not so much. When TRP says women want to be raped because they like being sexually dominated it's the same deal - yeah the domination bit is usually true, but the rest is still shit.
And when your arguments are all dressed up in extremism, well it just invalidates your position, which is why we're all here laughing at the SJWs.
I don't know this contributor, I don't know your source. 90% of the time, legit contributors make RP advice posts, not FRs. FR reporters are not regular contributors, plus it would be absurd for a single person to continually make FR posts and also impossible unless they are made up. You can't judge RP ideas by this contributor's actions, challenge ideas with your own at /r/purplepilldebate .
People just cherrypick posts like those and ignore the gold mine. I believe this isn't the place for discussion, you can go /r/asktrp with your claim and source if you want a detailed answer.

Do you seriously not know who Gay Lube Oil is? He makes preachy posts at TRP and people just eat it up. If you're feigning ignorance because you don't like what I'm saying, stop; it's not flattering. If you truly don't know who he is, what he espouses, and what the mods of TRP think about him, I suggest you educate yourself. Him and people like him are who you are supporting when you support TRP ideology.
I know GayLubeOil, I read his posts. If he made such post, with the exact intention of violence, then he is wrong. Many TPRers know that you just don't mess with women, courts will fuck you up, you are more likely to be wrong even if you're right.
How am I supporting his actions if I'm supporting the ideology?
[deleted] · 2 points · Posted at 20:24:51 on November 18, 2015 · (Permalink)
You are supporting the ideology that preaches a disrespect for women so strong that the men on the TRP sub do not view them as real people, but a weird person/animal hybrid that can be manhandled the way you would a dog for "its own good". If a woman turns away from you, you grab her arm and pull her back, Agree and Amplify! If she accidentally swallows your steroid pill, don't call 911! Just drag her to the bathroom and shove your fingers down her throat while she screams. She's just hamstering and you were the man who took care of her! Have violent sex without clearing it with her first, that's what all women want after all, since AWALT!
I read TRP. I see what gets posted there. This is the advice given, these are the articles written. Hurting women is not a "mistake" made by a newbie implementing the theory wrong, it is what is espoused on the site by endorsed contributers every day. And even if it was just newbies making mistakes, what the fuck kind of theory is it that can be misinterpreted as "yes, go out and hurt women"? It can't be a very good one to begin with.
Overexaggeration in its highest, but keep riding you high horse mate. We're all products of our environment and if that environment shits all over you stuff like TRP becomes quite attractive.

Yeah, I guess if you were a man child it WOULD be a comforting thought that hey, men might not like you but at least you can still treat women like shit!
You know I'd be upset and probably break up with her. Not because of the fucking game but if she believes playing video games is abuse she's just immature. My fiancé has no problem laying on the couch reading a book while I sit and play my GameCube on her tv.
Saying this, is like saying "it doesn't help proving 'sports doesn't cause violence' when a woman who was assaulted because she smashed her bf's tv after watching football all Sunday."
It's the act of destroying something important to someone and whether or not that person has emotional stability and/or good judgement.
See what happens when you smash your girlfriend's jewelry or designer shoes. Then say those items cause violence and see how stupid you sound.
I would dump her immediately, not because "omg it's fallout 4!" But because it's my fucking life I'll choose to do with it what I want. If you don't have the same interests as me and have an issue with it then fucking leave

As a female and a gamer, I would quite literally bury this bitch.
I don't like my games or my game console being touched or borrowed or even shared much less BLATANTLY DESTROYED!
I hope he gets one over on her!
And she's not helping the whole "women are spoilt little CUNTS who demand attention and need constant affirmation because they're better than men" argument.
Looks like XBOne version. Not surprising really. If I had a games console I'd rather have most of the game running off the disc than having more HDD space used up with a digital download.
Not on console. Digital download = entire game. Disc copy = only necessary files for faster loading copied to HDD. Some games do come with a key however (PSN/XBL) so you could own a digital copy of the game should you lose or break your disc.
Actually, that's incorrect. The disk still installs the entire game to the hard drive. Example, digital download of Fallout 4 is 28.1 GB, my disk installed 28.1 GB of data to my hard drive.

Video games don't cause violence.
But malicious destruction of private property can often result in violence as a response from the victimized party.
No, not usually (unless it was broken during transit or something then you might be able to haggle with the company for a new one or unless it was one of those rare games that also came with a separate digital copy). Savedata is no longer stored on the game itself, though (with the exception of the 3DS and cartridge-based systems) so he would still have that. Picture and the account its from is shady as fuck tho, so probably not real.

So she is so uninteresting that he would rather play a video game than do anything with her, and her reaction is to do something that will surely upset him? Great idea.
"Punch to the teeth" "women not even once" yeah that guy is anything but a red piller. i frequent that sub (this is my alternate account so brigade away idc) for years and hitting or hating on women is exactly what it preaches against. It preaches how to understand women so as not to become a frustrated misogynist loser, how not to be so emotionally affected by this sort of stunts, how to walk away from any woman that disrespects you like that. Furthermore, we really consider gaming to be a waste of precious time that we can invest into bettering ourselves so we wouldn't have Fallout to begin with.
Because TRP is full of anger-phased neckbeards that will never self-improve and that's exactly what it looks like on the outside if you aren't actually reading the quality content inside.
Ahhh... Yeah, I get it. It's time to infiltrate TumblrInAction... make it into a "safe space" for feminists.
There's nothing here to suggest they're a member of TRP, or even real... the photo is fake, all the usernames blacked out. Why would you believe anything about this other than it's intended to sway your belief about TRP?
People associate TRP with neckbeards because it is full of neckbeards. That didn't sway me away from absorbing the quality content from it and to help me see what I was doing wrong with my life. I don't give two shits about what other people think of TRP. I'm just happy that it exists and that it helped me overcome the bad habits and beliefs that held me back from developing.
In all the years that I've read TRP, I came to the conclusion that it's composed of a few quality content creators that are truly RP, 10% of users that are or actually make an effort of bettering themselves and the rest are neckbeards that will never stop being bitter neckbeards.
There's no conspiracy to make TRP look bad. It looks bad on the surface and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
I haven't been around for while, so maybe it is that way... that's too bad but maybe a good thing. Hopefully those neckbeards pull their heads out their ass.
And then all your dinner suggestions are shot down.. :D

According to her instagram she paid for the game for him. Still fucked and manipulative.
My girlfriend actual enjoys watching me play Fallout however she sometimes gives me strange looks when I start stacking bodies and lay mines all around them to see how high I can make them fly.
I mean if it is real (which is very unlikely due to the guy posting his paypal and asking for money, etc) he's still got his save data and found out his girlfriend is a psycho. Break up and move on and thank god it only cost you $60.
Did you put a trigger warning and then imply that games make you violent?

Isn't it really women causing violence in that case... Can see people over reacting for most items in the same way. Violent_Act1 causing Violent_Act2. Violence begets violence.
Even in this case, the game didn't cause the violence. The stupid cunt that destroyed a man's property is. I mean, at minimum wage a person works more than a full day to pay for a new game.
this is a good way to just be a shitty person. Fuck, if someone doesn't prioritize you, just dump them. They don't care about you, and it has nothing to do with the game. They'd ignore you by drinking heavily if they didn't have the game.

If I bought a copy of Fallout 4 for 60 dollars, I would be pretty fucking pissed if my girlfriend broke it in half and gloated about it on Instagram.
Still though, he should have at least payed some attention to his girlfriend. I personally would just let her sit beside me or something so we could play together.
Didn't the last "girlfriend breaking popular game disc to get boyfriend's attention" bit turn out to be fake? I seem to remember that a girlfriend that claimed she destroyed a GTA V disc was later proved to have been lying and that she just grabbed a pic of a broken disc from Google Images.

It's like, it's like, why can't you just hang out with guys, you know? Just live with someone of your own sex. Just do what you would do with women, but with your buddy, you know? Why don't guys just do that?
They do, it's called being gay
Oh, that's what gay is? Oh yeah, I could totally get into that.
Jebus fucking christ women. Instead of bitching about your men "choosing a game over" you, how about you learn TO FUCKING COMMUNICATE?!
This shit pisses me off so much. What? As soon as a guy gets some tail, he's not allowed to have hobbies? How would you like it if your boyfriend trashed your shitty Etsy designs because "My gf spends hours knitting this instead of paying attention to me! I cut all of her materials up to teach her a lesson LOLOLOLOLZ"

sounds like someone needs to get Steam, and a bulletproof PC case they can bolt to their desk.
On an unrelated note, why do video games have to cause violence? Why can't they be correlated? What if violent people tend to like violent video games? People need to learn to stats.
I think it's more likely a reinforcement effect between the two. Violent people are more likely to like violent video games, and playing violent video games extensively can cause one to be desensitized in violence.
This isn't "Video games causing violence," it's abuse/destruction of property that's causing rage. Just because it's over a video game doesn't mean the video game, or any game was the cause of anger.

ZOMG guise DAE redpill is the same as violence against women?
The image is fake, it came from a brand new instagram account and has a 9gag watermark partly blurred out on the side. Sure are a lot of people going nuclear over it though.
Are you fucking kidding me? The entitlement, the balls, to think that you're justified in breaking someones property because they have a hobby that they enjoy, rather than spend 100% of their time with you. Ridiculous fucking cunt deserves to lose her two front teeth.
I think it's a perfectly reasonable reaction, to be honest. She is abusing him by breaking his property to control him. The only way to escape her abuse, and not be the pushover in this case, would be to show her that you're not taking her shit. But it seems that lots of people here don't mind getting their property, which they pay for with their own hard-earned money, destroyed.
If someone broke my property I'd break up with them and depending on what they broke possibly bring the law into it. I wouldn't punch them then say "all you fucking women are the same."

How is a comment on the internet worse than real life action.

TRP always blames that shit on "the anger phase" but the fact is anger phase posts make up like 90% of your content. It's not like a small minority is angry and the rest are rational. So much pure anger even when they claim to be unemotional and amoral.
There's a lot of hate for women on TRP, no doubt. But 90% of content misses a distinct point about TRP, the hierarchy of users. Not all posts are equal.
You also have to be well adjusted enough to see through the hate and not let it affect your judgement.
That post has a lot of good info in it. Most of which I agree. Calling them "subhuman" is obviously unnecessary but describing them as a problem makes sense.
Did you think maybe the tone was more than a way to express the author's anger? Even if not, it is an opportunity for you to think for yourself and see how emotions cloud your judgement.
My point is you can't explain away the shitty RP posts with the anger phase when even the vanguards talk in the exact same way.
Sure if you take away all the extremism from RP there are some good points underneath it, but you can say the same for SJWs, because hey take away their extremes and they only want equality! But the fact is it's still extremism and the extremism ruins any legitimacy the underlying message might have.
If some radfem is walking around chanting "kill all men" you don't think "well, if you take away the killing part she kinda has a point." You just turn off because it's obviously nothing but emotionally driven extremism.
Same with RP. If you just say "most women like being dominated in bed" which is essentially what most of it comes down to, not many people would have a problem with that. But "all these whores have the brain capacity of teenagers and will cheat on you the first chance they get" is what drives people to look down on TRP.

$60 is a relatively small price to pay for a legitimate reason to completely cut this person out of his life rather than engaging in what is bound to be an exhausting ordeal to try and get any sort of compensation.
Edit: Besides, it's not like his save files are lost.

Legal help? It's a fucking 60 dollar game... You'll be charged more than that for talking to a lawyer on his piss break. It's $40 alone just to file a small claim - not to mention it'll probably take half your day - and if that's worth the extra $20 then I think you are a lot closer to loser thinking this is worthy a violent response.

Meh.
If you're in the Denver, Boulder, CO Springs, or Pueblo metro areas where most of the people live the climate isn't so much cold as variable. We get snow, but it doesn't necessarily stay on the ground for more than a week or so. For context, in Denver the record high for January was 76 degrees (freedom units). Even in winter there are plenty of mild, sunny days.
Another thing to consider is that because it's so dry, 40 degrees in Denver doesn't feel as cold as 40 degrees in, say, Boston or Chicago.

Turns out she cheated...with 3 different guys. Not to mention repeated physical violence (think calling into work because your face is all scratched up) Didn't fully realize that I was the victim in an abusive relationship until months after we broke up.

Well, for most people, you have the standard 3 download/1.5 upload speeds (in megabits per second). Now consider as well that you have on average 5 to 10 devices on your home network (game consoles, cell phones, computers, smart TVs, etc.), and divide that traffic among all the devices. Even if you have the 3 Mbp/s download speed, when splitting the signal across the channel along all devices you may see it as low as 0.75 Mbp/s on average.
Even on a higher end plan, if you have a lot of devices connected, then your download speeds suffer. Looking at this national broadband map, we can see that very few areas are servicing >1 Gbp/s speeds, and those that do are a much higher price.
Going down to 25 Mbp/s is where you really see the numbers increase which indicates the majority of residential user plans.

It's still a bad business plan to write off 15% of your sales, which is probably close to the number of people who don't have stellar internet or data caps. I have lived in the cities, and I couldn't download games because each one used up 1/5 of my data cap.

Its an estimate. 15% America has no internet in the home, so I assume a similar amount has slow internet or a data cap. Chances are it is much higher. Yall thinking everyone lives in a city with cable internet speeds is hilarious to me. We just got "fast" internet here that is affordable. My parents had 56k until 2009. Then I went to college, and they finally got dsl, which is still slow as hell compared to what I had in the city. If you want better speeds where I live you have to pay around 220 bucks a month. That's ridiculous, and it also has a data cap. Something like 75% of America only has 1 provider option.

Boxes on shelves provide another form of advertisement. That's really the main benefit to manufacturers, other than the extra sales from people in rural areas with crappy internet.

It's for parents/grandparents buying games as presents mostly. As a steam gamer I know it's ridiculous. But stores like Best Buy or Walmart don't want to suddenly be left out of the games market and they don't want their employees to be trying to explain to 80 year old grandmas how Steam works. So they still stock boxes with bright colors and installer files.

This isn't the only reason. I want hardcopy of everything so it's easier for me to get that rather then re-download, and because mist if the time they are not cutting me a deal if I buy the digital(which cost a lot less to make) so fuck them, I'll take the box thankyou.

Here in Canada games are $80 plus tax ($92 total), this goes for digital and physical.
I'd rather have the disc if I decide I've grown bored of the game and want to sell or trade it for something else.
When the costs of goods keep increasing and your wages don't, you need to find ways to help cover those increases.

Indeed they are, these prices do not include the 15% sales tax most provinces charge:

Safer to have a physical copy. When you buy software you buy the literal licence to the game. The supplier may change the terms of that licence/withdraw the redownload feature. Where you have a physical copy of the licensed software the supplier cannot so easily change the terms of your licence.
UnchainedMundane · 11 points · Posted at 19:06:08 on November 18, 2015 · (Permalink)
It's not so simple. Physical copies aren't always DRM-free. Windows is a good example of that, requiring you to purchase a license and enter a key after you install it.

I got they physical copy for Fallout 4 because of my shitty internet speed plus the fact that I needed another 20$ on Amazon for free shipping on some small thing. Didn't think to check, but the physical copy only has 5GB on it, 19 more still had to be downloaded from Steam.

This is why I specified "untreated", generally people who know they have BPD and care to treat it are not at risk of acting like this - they actually care about fixing their behaviour and realise it's a disorder. It's the ones who don't get any help who act out.

I honestly believe that most of the extreme red-pillers have had girlfriends, or been in some sort of relationship with a woman, and have either been expecting something completely different or ended up with a complete psycho that left a lasting impression. I don't think guys who haven't been in a relationship would act that violently unless they've been rejected like a zillion times, but even then I don't think they'd be this violent and more just really pissed off.

ArchangelleBorgore · 1 points · Posted at 22:21:38 on November 18, 2015 · (Permalink)
They're extremely similar disorders, borderline is the female version and narcissism is the male version. Srsly look up the gender ratios for diagnosis.
How is that relationship going if you don't mind me asking? It must be quite... interesting.
Internet_Ugly · 1 points · Posted at 01:09:02 on November 19, 2015 · (Permalink)
Interesting is the right word.
Males can be borderline without being narcissistic and females and be narcissistic without being borderline. Borderlines still care about others and overvalue others opinions. While Narcs only think about themselves and often completely lack any empathy.
Using my relationship as an example, I recently was promoted into management. My boyfriend has been trying to undermine it (we work at the same store) and has told me to my face that he hates the fact I make more than him. He also told me that my schedule better not change because it affects how often we carpool (I work 5 days, he works 4, I drive to his house and pick him up for work everyday he works because our schedule over laps.) He only thinks about how my promotion affects him and his plans.
Less than an hour ago I was out to dinner with one of his clients. I took a stumble in the parking lot. When I told him about it he simply asked if I was able to close the deal. Not if I was okay, did I break or bruise anything, just if I managed to get him his money.
Narcs are cold, borderlines are hot. That's the best way I can describe the difference.

Apparently her boyfriend doesn't have a job so she bought it for him and then when he didn't appreciate it she broke it, but that's what she's saying so I don't know how true it is. She's also telling people they can just buy him a new Fallout if they feel so strongly about it and even went so far as to give his PayPal account. She also completely changed that pictures caption to something about him being the "sweetest guy in the world" which seems extremely disturbing when you realize the original caption.

Threats have always existed. So yes it's worse than property damage, but it was said somewhat anonymously and without specification. As such it's a low-level threat. Property destruction and then threatening future property destruction of more property is serious, criminal and grounds for at least a visit from police and a civil court case.

If my girlfriend were to give me an ultimatum between Fallout 4 and her, I choose Fallout 4, because I don't want to date someone psychotic enough to feel actually threatened for my attention by a video game.

This reminded me of something that happened to me about a week ago.
I asked someone at work who games if they got Fallout 4. He told me his wife only lets him buy one game a year because she doesn't like him playing them. This older woman who was also there said "Good for her! I like her! Tell her I like her!"
What the fuck?

I'd say what the fuck to the dude more than the woman. I can't have respect for a man that beaten down by his wife. My wife is my partner, not my boss or my mom.
EDIT: To clarify, I mean beaten down as in taking the "happy wife, happy life" mantra to the "set yourself on fire to keep her warm" level. If the relationship is genuinely abusive, that's all on the opposite party (the abuser)

I've seen this a lot with my friends. They fall head over heels for a girl and just do whatever they want whenever they want. A year later the honeymoon phase is over and she's still being bossy and controlling, all while he's complaining to me.
What he doesn't realize is that he created the monster, he basically conditioned her to have an expectation of him to do whatever she says, and when those expectations aren't met she naturally gets upset. Now she looks like a controlling bitch, he looks like a big pussy, and it's all because of the expectations he created in the beginning of the relationship.
ligerzero459 · 22 points · Posted at 21:15:15 on November 18, 2015 · (Permalink)
Ha I see we have some of the same friends.
Seriously though, you're spot on. What's even worse is that a lot of guys think that it's the norm for you to have to cave to every demand, or that demands are normal in the first place. A few weeks ago, my wife was feeling under the weather the same night I was going to head to a beer tasting at the local zoo, a cold or something. Ended up seeing a few of her co-workers there. They next day, one of them approached her at work and said "thanks for letting ligerzero come out last night". She actually laughed and told him "Let him? I don't let him do anything, he does what he wants."

I guess we must be friends besides my girlfriend has been doing exactly this to me for a year.
Did the whole honeymoon phase thing and moved on from it expecting relationship to continue as normal. She makes me feel like shit since I don't constantly shower her in compliments / long text messages about my undying love for her anymore.
I hope to someday get out of this mess.

Here Copacetic_, I'll help you type the text you should send to her once any stuff you have in a shared dwelling is gone.
"I'm leaving you, I hate the way you are and you suck the life out of me with how you act"
And then never talk to her again. Should probably lay low for a little bit if you think she might decided to, I don't know, look for you or something.

Odd, I thought women had agency. So it's the guy's fault whenever the woman is a controlling piece of shit? I'll admit that a guy makes a mistake in hitching up with a chick thinking she'll "calm down", but I wouldn't pin her personality on his doings. He didn't create anything, the spoiled sack of entitled manipulative shit was raised to be a princess by her parents since day 1, and he was too blindsided by hormones to see she wasn't going to deviate from that anytime soon.
RollTides · 1 points · Posted at 23:03:08 on November 18, 2015 · (Permalink)
I'm not trying to make the argument that she has no blame, but it was the situational insincerity in the beginning that led everything to get as bad as it is. If he had never acted like this personal servant and just been honest about how he expected to be treated she would have either never become so controlling or the relationship would have failed early on and they would have split.

If you're a man who grew up with a ridiculous helicopter mom who always took away your agency at every turn, I think you're likely to 1) not realize this isn't normal and 2) find a gf taking away your agency comforting or familiar, in a weird sense
Skullpuck · 1 points · Posted at 21:45:10 on November 18, 2015 · (Permalink)
A lot of dudes don't get this. They get into a relationship with some hot, tomcat in the sack sexy girl and then they stay because they think that's the best they can get even though they are being treated poorly. They don't care as long as they can say "She's mine"... but not in front of her.
eksyneet · 1 points · Posted at 22:17:08 on November 18, 2015 · (Permalink)
i'm sorry, but can you have respect for a woman "beaten down" by her husband? if yes, then your contempt for men in similar situations makes no sense. it's hard to get out of an abusive/controlling relationship, both for men and women.
ligerzero459 · 1 points · Posted at 00:14:17 on November 19, 2015 · (Permalink)
If I came off as downplaying men in abusive relationships, my bad. Definitely wasn't my intent.
The reason I have a lack of respect for some men in these situations is because it usually isn't actually a controlling relationship. It's more of a case of the guy putting his wife before himself to the detriment of everything else in his life instead of balancing everything.
Basically the men who take the "if mama ain't happy, nobody's happy" and the "happy wife, happy life" mantras to the "set yourself on fire to keep her warm" levels.

My brother's ex was super controlling and "made him sell" (read: sold it while he was at work one day for $400) his project car, which was an 84 V12 Jag. He had done enough maintenance and retrofitting to this car to make it actually somewhat reliable, which, if you know old jags, is no small feat. It was his baby, and
Fast forward to his new girlfriend, she doesn't like it when he spends one weekend a month working on his new project car (96 Roadmaster Wagon with a built up v8) instead of spending time with her like the other three weekends, and almost every other day of the month. He told her straight up, the car was here before you, so you're gonna have to deal with not seeing me every single day while I take some time to do my hobby.
I was so proud of him for standing up to her, I didn't want to see him have the same issue before. When his ex sold his Jag, it destroyed him. He loved working on and driving that thing.

My wife lays in bed and reminds me "I HATE video games. I HATE them." Well, you knew I played them before we got married and I only really play when you're on the phone / asleep, so it's not like they're taking time away from spending it with you. Even then I talk to you in-between multi-player matches.
I guess what I'm saying is she can hate them all she wants to, it's not really going to change my attitude.
quantumcosmos · 2 points · Posted at 23:22:22 on November 18, 2015 · (Permalink)
I'm pitiful at video games. I like a few, but I just can't get the hang of shooter games like COD. Not to mention, when I relax, I like to relax, and those games put me on edge.
But I'll lay on the bed and watch my boyfriend play for hours. I love watching! I love talking shit to the people he "kills" and I love humoring him when he blames his own "deaths" on the game / internet connection (even though we both know it was his fault.)
Tbh it seems a hell of a lot more fun than laying on the bed and repeating that I hate them. They help him unwind and feel good, and that's a good thing! I can choose to spend time with him while he does it, or I can choose to be upset. I like the former.

Like its shitty, but video game addiction is a real thing. Everyone's bragging about playing 67 hours in 3 days just like college kids who brag about getting fucked up every weekend and some weekdays.
And just because you're in college doesn't mean you aren't an alcoholic.
I know its probably not what happened, but the part of me who wants to see the good in everyone sees this as the compromise of a spouse with a drinking problem letting them drink on their birthday.

Since we are on the note of Fallout with this topic chain, My girlfriend/soon to be fiance LOVES Fallout just as much as I do. In fact, I talked it over with her and rather than a diamond ring, she would rather have a sterling silver "Vault 111 cog door" ring. And for actual wedding ring, just plain gold band, which will then be turned into a necklace (<---she was never big on jewelry anyway, and prefers bracelets and necklaces to rings). Now if only they made a multiplayer Fallout, we would be inseperable.

Trust me, I have already put thought into that, and it will most likely stay in the "cute and dorky" category, though we have never let that stand in our way before. Even if it she doesnt wear it all the time, it will still be a funny story we can tell friends, family, hypothetical children, etc. If nothing else, we will certainly remember it, and I doubt we would look back poorly on something as happy as proposing and will say "Remember how I gave you a Fallout-themed ring? That sure was goofy."

I hate that the hobby is so demonized in some circles that restricting a loved ones access is an amazing thing to be praised. Like his wife is a brave strong woman for it or something. So bizarre.

That is a good choice. While I was dating my ex, I actually had quite a few days where I was worried that I'd come home to my monitors being smashed. Meanwhile... she would be always playing Borderlands 2 with her fuckboi. So I guess it was only OK to play games if you were not me. Meanwhile, I was working my ass off and playing maybe a couple hours a day.
In contrast... my boyfriend and I are both playing the hell out of Fallout 4 and we are having a good time talking about all aspects of the game. We pretty much decided that we needed to buy it when it came out... so we did. It's a really good time and even if he had bought Battlefront instead (his first choice), I would've sat back and watched him since I am terrible at Battlefront. Even if I wasn't a gamer myself. Why? Because it is something he enjoys and I love seeing him happy and occasionally salty.
What I can't fathom though is people thinking that someone being hyped for an inanimate object must mean that they don't love anything else. It is like these people think games are something to compete over or something.

I mean this lady is obviously a little psycho but there is definitely such a thing as too much video game time in a relationship. If you spend more time with a console than your girlfriend, then you either need to not have a girlfriend, find a girl that plays videogames, or find one that doesn't actually enjoy your company.

I thought redpillers were into seducing women and treating like sex objects. The not even once attitude is more in line with the forever alone crowd who pretend their sad perpetual virginity is actually a choice to be celibate because women so crazy etc.

Pretty much. Redpillers would look down on letting a woman get a rise out of you, let alone with threats of violence. It's amazing how much free traffic they've been given by Redditors invoking their name unnecessarily.
Edit: Ironically, there's a bunch of beaten down men further down in the thread that might actually benefit from the non-sexist parts of the red pill, but I'm guessing it won't get invoked there.

How so? If people hadn't brought them up needlessly, fewer people would know of them and fewer people might have found a home there. By giving traffic to TRP specifically, it's been given more exposure as well.

Not sure why you'd conflate red pill with hating women. I absolutely love women. TRP is a great way of learning how to interact and have good success with women.
I'd equate hating women more with "MGTOW" or "MRAs". But a guy learning how to have success and fuck lots of women is not going to recommend throat punching them or anything ridiculous like that.
Generally redpill advice teaches stoicism (not getting angry and especially not sharing or showing your emotions to a woman), and not playing video games at all (or sparingly).

He's not red pill if anything he is a sorry beta. That's disgusting if that is such a big deal red pill philosophy tells you to walk away and find a better woman not beat her because you got angry.
This is redpill so your girlfriend went jealous and shit tested you by breaking fallout 4, first off you shouldn't even get angry just walk away and never talk to her again. If you ignored her texts for a day by tomorrow she should be offering to repay for the game you can either take that or just close that door, entirely up to you but do not make amends since she has shown to be possessive and jealous over innate objects. Overall she is just too needy to be a good partner so either drop or plate her if she's good in bed if she isn't you're an idiot for tolerating her so long.

You should have stopped after the first sentence, bro. Don't teach other people about trp. The trp thing to do would have been to ask her calmly(stoic) if she's going to buy you a new one. When she does, or doesn't you still bail the out. You don't want that kind of negativity, and crazy in your life.

You are wrong. TRP is where betas go to get better, but then they clog up the drain. Then they become the TRP "extremists" who bend, and twist the main reason trp exists with their anger towards women. TRP isn't a gospel. It's a place to find out how to be a better man. To self improve, to figure out not just how women think, but how men do too. A big part of TRP is stoicism. So any guy that seems angry, and says he's TRP is full of shit. He's another one of the many who read a few posts, and thinks he has it all figured out. Kind of like a lot of women who preach feminism. They twist the message, and ruin it for the rest of us.
I actually love women more than ever since I found TRP. More importantly I love myself, and realize nobody can make me better except me.

As dumb as it is to say, there sometimes are cases of 'beta males'. I knew a guy who would be constantly dumped by a girl, only to get back together with her after a few days. He stopped hanging out with his friends and pretty much spent all of his time with his girlfriend. The girlfriend would get very nasty if anyone tried to pull him away from her or the guy wanted to hang out with us. Sadly he was too meek to actually do anything, and sort of wishy-washily gave up trying.

That said.
Fuck this pervasive notion that casual acts of aggression and/or destruction by women are part of the expected social contract between the genders, that guys are just expected to take it in stride. Breaking a guys things for "ignoring" you (which, news flash, is not "abuse" in any event), slapping him for saying something that offends you, whatever? It needs to fucking stop. It doesn't do any side of this any good. A few more criminal charges filed might start to wake people up, but of course nobody is going to bother for "trivial" stuff.

The jokes in a lot of media often have kernels of truth somewhere. And it's getting better. A lot of it is ugly, leftover "man up" bullshit that we're slowly working our way through.
It's never so much been "women should behave this way", but rather an all-to-common refrain "guys shouldn't behave this way", where "this way" means "complain about being mistreated by women".
Beyond that, what can I really say? I could give examples, but they wouldn't match your experiences, so we'd just be trading anecdotes back and forth and accomplishing very little.

Growing up with the abuse from a mother that had BPD, I only see this one way:

In my life experience, not long. You break my shit instead of talking, you're out the door. Relationship over. Length of time is irrelevant. Nothing you can say will change this. You have 10 seconds to leave before I call the police. Anything in the house that is yours can be identified as a list forwarded to my attorney. At an appointed time and date in the future, you will be allowed to remove it from the property with a police escort. I'm not afraid to cut off the leg to save the body.

I always wondered why stereotypical neckbeards and tumblerinas are always insulting each other. I mean they have so so much in common.
Both groups are over entitled narcissists who think they deserve nothing but the best (jobs, mates, treatment from others). They really only differ in the why of it. Neckbeards think they're entitled to it because they're such misunderstood nice guys in a world that values 'alphas'. Tumblerinas think they're entitled to it because the world is out to get them and they're the lone champions of the 'oppressed'.
Although I suppose this is what would happen if they ever got together.

I had a woman throw my Nintendo SNES out on the street once. She also threw a remote control at my head and made me bleed once. I never responded back with violence. I say that guy is a jerk for his response, but no more of a jerk than she was. The idea that he needs to held to a higher standard than she does is not valid though if you ask me.

As a lawyer, anyone who goes straight to "Lawsuit!" And starts listing causes of action and crimes that they think are relevant makes me chuckle. There's no lawyer in the world who will take your $60 video game lawsuit and it'll cost you more than that just to file in most small claims courts. Plus, any prosecutor will laugh you out of the room when you say you want her in jail for breaking your video game. It's shifty that she did it, but you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the average stakes in our legal system.

Hate to disagree with you, bud, but I've seen misdemeanor malicious mischief domestic violence cases(intentional destruction of property of another worth less than $750 belonging to a family or household member) prosecuted through jury trial over broken dishes worth less than $60. Every element of the charge is met in the photo and description. Talk about an easy job for a prosecutor.
By the by, thanks for calling it a legal system. I cringe when it's called the justice system.

Agreed, this is clearly not RP. Beating women and violence is definitely not something that redpillers would actually condone. I'm 100% sure that OP has no actual clue of what TRP is actually about, and simply dismisses it as a bunch of violent, women-abusing misogynists. I for one would call the cops if i ever saw someone getting the shit beat out of them, regardless of gender.

Oh, violence against women isn't part of the Red Pill? Someone should go let their sub know that, because they are always pushing, smacking, pinning down, grabbing, and dragging women in their pathetic "FR"s. There was that one guy who forced his fingers down his GF's throat.
anibustr · 9 points · Posted at 19:17:00 on November 18, 2015 · (Permalink)
FRs' point isn't boasting about how you handled the situation, it's more about opening the newcomer's eyes. So that guy from the beginning has done it wrong, his actions do not represent redpill and majority of redpill knows that violence isn't a part of the idea.
Even if it was, doing anything other than defending yourself (not even self-defense violence) is not advised by TRP since if the ground is equal, it is believed that people will declare the man at fault.
So either way, violence is not advised. As /u/shuritsen said, people don't know shit about RP.

It was a GayLubeOil post from about a month ago. The tone was, counter to the comment I replied to, very much a bragging tone about "getting things done".
Edit: I am trying to find it to post an actual source. It is no longer in his post history, which makes me think I am misremembering the poster, and it wasn't GLO but another endorsed contributor. I know for a fact I commented on the BP write up for it so it won't be long till I find it.
EDIT2: I still cannot find this damn post. I know it exists. I have limited capabilities on mobile and I'm going crazy. If anyone has seen this post and can find a link, whether to the actual TRP post or the write-up on TBP, please let me know.

Well I'd rather not defend a post that was upvoted to a lofty score of 95 as we're discussing what a "red pill" ideology entails and not this one mediocre post ... Every woman I've been with has absolutely loved being "taken" by me. Usually not abused or hurt but dominated.
For example, my wife goes nuts when I slap her and pin her arms down. I don't do it for me I do it for her lol. All I mean to say is that TRP by definition is simply the confrontation of truth and the truth can really hurt for a bit. eg. when we see the man come out of Plato's cave and is blinded by the sun (This is what red pillers call "the anger phase")
The ravishment fantasies that women have can be very confusing for both men and women so I'm not surprised when I see young angry men swing to the entirely opposite spectrum for some time before they figure out that's wrong as well...
ArchangelleBorgore · 0 points · Posted at 23:16:26 on November 18, 2015 · (Permalink)
The "mediocre post" you're referring to was written by a red pill vanguard. He's meant to be one of the leaders of the community, someone who has wisdom and knows what's what. Clearly TRP takes the guy seriously.
Certainly it's true a fuckload of women do indeed enjoy being dominated in the bedroom but it's easy to just say that without equating it to literal rape for the purposes of what I can only guess is pure clickbait and purposefully crafted rage material.
It's like if a SJW says they think men should be killed to create equality. Yeah the equality bit is good, the rest not so much. When TRP says women want to be raped because they like being sexually dominated it's the same deal - yeah the domination bit is usually true, but the rest is still shit.
And when your arguments are all dressed up in extremism, well it just invalidates your position, which is why we're all here laughing at the SJWs.

FR reporters are not regular contributors, plus it would be absurd for a single person to continually make FR posts and also impossible unless they are made up. You can't judge RP ideas by this contributor's actions, challenge ideas with your own at /r/purplepilldebate .

Do you seriously not know who Gay Lube Oil is? He makes preachy posts at TRP and people just eat it up. If you're feigning ignorance because you don't like what I'm saying, stop; it's not flattering. If you truly don't know who he is, what he espouses, and what the mods of TRP think about him, I suggest you educate yourself. Him and people like him are who you are supporting when you support TRP ideology.
anibustr · 6 points · Posted at 20:09:25 on November 18, 2015 · (Permalink)
I know GayLubeOil, I read his posts. If he made such post, with the exact intention of violence, then he is wrong. Many TPRers know that you just don't mess with women, courts will fuck you up, you are more likely to be wrong even if you're right.
How am I supporting his actions if I'm supporting the ideology?
[deleted] · 2 points · Posted at 20:24:51 on November 18, 2015 · (Permalink)
You are supporting the ideology that preaches a disrespect for women so strong that the men on the TRP sub do not view them as real people, but a weird person/animal hybrid that can be manhandled the way you would a dog for "its own good". If a woman turns away from you, you grab her arm and pull her back, Agree and Amplify! If she accidentally swallows your steroid pill, don't call 911! Just drag her to the bathroom and shove your fingers down her throat while she screams. She's just hamstering and you were the man who took care of her! Have violent sex without clearing it with her first, that's what all women want after all, since AWALT!
I read TRP. I see what gets posted there. This is the advice given, these are the articles written. Hurting women is not a "mistake" made by a newbie implementing the theory wrong, it is what is espoused on the site by endorsed contributers every day. And even if it was just newbies making mistakes, what the fuck kind of theory is it that can be misinterpreted as "yes, go out and hurt women"? It can't be a very good one to begin with.

Saying this, is like saying "it doesn't help proving 'sports doesn't cause violence' when a woman who was assaulted because she smashed her bf's tv after watching football all Sunday."
It's the act of destroying something important to someone and whether or not that person has emotional stability and/or good judgement.
See what happens when you smash your girlfriend's jewelry or designer shoes. Then say those items cause violence and see how stupid you sound.

Not on console. Digital download = entire game. Disc copy = only necessary files for faster loading copied to HDD. Some games do come with a key however (PSN/XBL) so you could own a digital copy of the game should you lose or break your disc.
ThouShaltNotBeACunt · 1 points · Posted at 19:40:03 on November 18, 2015 · (Permalink)
on new consoles the whole game is downloaded onto the hard drive so it doesn't matter if you go with physical or digital.

Actually, that's incorrect. The disk still installs the entire game to the hard drive. Example, digital download of Fallout 4 is 28.1 GB, my disk installed 28.1 GB of data to my hard drive.

No, not usually (unless it was broken during transit or something then you might be able to haggle with the company for a new one or unless it was one of those rare games that also came with a separate digital copy). Savedata is no longer stored on the game itself, though (with the exception of the 3DS and cartridge-based systems) so he would still have that. Picture and the account its from is shady as fuck tho, so probably not real.

"Punch to the teeth" "women not even once" yeah that guy is anything but a red piller. i frequent that sub (this is my alternate account so brigade away idc) for years and hitting or hating on women is exactly what it preaches against. It preaches how to understand women so as not to become a frustrated misogynist loser, how not to be so emotionally affected by this sort of stunts, how to walk away from any woman that disrespects you like that. Furthermore, we really consider gaming to be a waste of precious time that we can invest into bettering ourselves so we wouldn't have Fallout to begin with.

USmellFunny · 6 points · Posted at 20:15:41 on November 18, 2015 · (Permalink)
People associate TRP with neckbeards because it is full of neckbeards. That didn't sway me away from absorbing the quality content from it and to help me see what I was doing wrong with my life. I don't give two shits about what other people think of TRP. I'm just happy that it exists and that it helped me overcome the bad habits and beliefs that held me back from developing.
In all the years that I've read TRP, I came to the conclusion that it's composed of a few quality content creators that are truly RP, 10% of users that are or actually make an effort of bettering themselves and the rest are neckbeards that will never stop being bitter neckbeards.
There's no conspiracy to make TRP look bad. It looks bad on the surface and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Both extremes are wrong. I don't get mad enough to break someone's shit even when they've actually done something legitimately wrong. Also a sixty dollar game is not worth an assault charge or the look any cop or lawyer is gonna give you if you try to press charges - because that's gonna go nowhere in any medium to large sized city.

I think it's more likely a reinforcement effect between the two. Violent people are more likely to like violent video games, and playing violent video games extensively can cause one to be desensitized in violence.

This isn't "Video games causing violence," it's abuse/destruction of property that's causing rage. Just because it's over a video game doesn't mean the video game, or any game was the cause of anger.

I think it's a perfectly reasonable reaction, to be honest. She is abusing him by breaking his property to control him. The only way to escape her abuse, and not be the pushover in this case, would be to show her that you're not taking her shit. But it seems that lots of people here don't mind getting their property, which they pay for with their own hard-earned money, destroyed.

TRP always blames that shit on "the anger phase" but the fact is anger phase posts make up like 90% of your content. It's not like a small minority is angry and the rest are rational. So much pure anger even when they claim to be unemotional and amoral.

You also have to be well adjusted enough to see through the hate and not let it affect your judgement.
That post has a lot of good info in it. Most of which I agree. Calling them "subhuman" is obviously unnecessary but describing them as a problem makes sense.
Did you think maybe the tone was more than a way to express the author's anger? Even if not, it is an opportunity for you to think for yourself and see how emotions cloud your judgement.
Plus, I'm not sure he's completely wrong.
ArchangelleBorgore · -2 points · Posted at 20:32:15 on November 18, 2015 · (Permalink)
My point is you can't explain away the shitty RP posts with the anger phase when even the vanguards talk in the exact same way.
Sure if you take away all the extremism from RP there are some good points underneath it, but you can say the same for SJWs, because hey take away their extremes and they only want equality! But the fact is it's still extremism and the extremism ruins any legitimacy the underlying message might have.
If some radfem is walking around chanting "kill all men" you don't think "well, if you take away the killing part she kinda has a point." You just turn off because it's obviously nothing but emotionally driven extremism.
Same with RP. If you just say "most women like being dominated in bed" which is essentially what most of it comes down to, not many people would have a problem with that. But "all these whores have the brain capacity of teenagers and will cheat on you the first chance they get" is what drives people to look down on TRP.
