He wants to marry the fictional character…

But what Makes him think the fictional character wants him???

I mean…. He must have failed so hard in real life that he turns to someone that is unreal….

bottomline :
1.He is a useless and ugly 4 eye fat ass..
2. He got rejected in real life..
3. The videogame character would most probably reject him as well…

I cant believe that this event is RECENT! If anyone comes by here and knows about HellfireComms, notice that this vid has more views than any other video of theirs, and they’ve been funtioning since 2008!

Anyone who’s looking for a good laugh, go there.

@holypredator

You don’t understand that his wife is a product of a delusion. In a delusion, you can most certainly think that the character likes you, because in truth, the creators have to make the character like you. 2D is a thing that can be changed according to whoever is thinking about it. In short, guy has delusion, it makes him happy, japan agrees with it, go complain somewhere else.

-Also, bottomline:

:Real life has gotten so savage that maybe the guy doesn’t want to be a part of it
