[This is a comment about] an HN post about an article about TikTok videos in which women complain about a video game about the video-game characters’ relationship in the game and urge other women to control their male partners in real life.

Peak HN content.

It might be the most female and relationship oriented story on the site in days.. or more?

Honestly, I'm pretty suspicious of this article. First off, this game isn't out yet. So how can real life partners be angry about it?

Second, even if it was out, it would take some time for these RL partners to get a whiff of the secret in-game romancin' going on. No?

So I think this is just some kinda indirect guerilla marketing campaign or something. Still, it's kinda funny. So why not?
