A woman is marrying her Tetris cartridge

26CB9FCC-6984-40E1-8E50-AE97829379BB.jpeg


A woman in Florida is said to have objectophila, a condition that makes her physically and emotionally attracted to inanimate objects instead of people. In an interview with Metro, she stated that she grew up being attracted to all sorts of objects, from GPS devices, iPods, treadmills etc.

After breaking up with Pierre, her calculator, her love for Tetris grew so strong that she intends to marry her copy once she graduates, with a proper ceremony and her family and friends in attendance.

It started when I would play this game called Smash Run and I would hear the Tetris theme and I thought it was nice. Every time I heard it I would want to play Tetris. All I did was play this game and kept thinking I want to play Tetris.

I think Tetris is so beautiful, he is about perfection and he stimulates your mind. Physically I get that feeling that people in relationships get – that you know they are the right one.

I love him so much and get an immense sense of satisfaction with him. I have a strong connection with him and have invested so much in him.

Damn, you guys.

It's one thing to make fun of it, but some of you are condemning her for it. Does it affect you that much? Does the personal want that doesn't hurt any one else of an individual you don't even know or will get to know affect you personally?

I remember topics of people dressing up in fur costumes and getting married or having sex having the same sort of reactions and people calling them out to be scum of the earth and condemning their actions. This would have been maybe 10 or 15 years ago. Now they're called furries, and it's controversial to say the same sorts of things. There's definitely some even on this forum, some of you obvious about it and some more shy. Doesn't affect their ability to be here and make friends, and some are amazing contributors.

Welp, there was my rant. Sorry to be the party pooper of the topic.

I know, it is weird how offended people get for things that are not their bussiness.
As far as I'm concerned, and as long as it is not harmful for others, laissez faire. It's their life after all.

That's just inexcusable. Dying due to exhaustion is a serious matter, but can get prevented easily. Not feeding their children though, never heard of that one.

On the other hand, presenting this article and it's stupidity is, well, pointless. It only Sparks unwanted controversial topics.
My personal opinion being that this is inhumane. She shouldn't be marrying a object. An object without emotions, or any form of life. Not only is it disappointing, but also just plain stupid. Honestly, this woman needs some mental aid.

So yes, I don't believe that this article is necessary or for that matter, needs to be on the front page. Especially when the mods clearly say, that it was for the sole reason that she was marrying a Tetris cart. It could've been anything else, and it wouldn't get front page. That just goes to show, that any controversial article, dumb or other, gets featured sometimes.

I get your point and I actually agree, just want to know where and how you draw your limit. The original article was written just for the sake of getting views and that's wrong. But on the other hand, that brings another problem to light : why people expose themselves? Why others are attracted to that kind of stories and feel obligated to insult or mock? How can we prevent this? Do we have to censor ourselves because some people can't have a mature discussion? I'm really asking thoses questions, not trying to make a point or something, I really want to know your point of view on that matter :)

But for the video game related arguments, I'm with staff there, we've seen things on the first page that were way less video game related and nobody bat an eye. To be honest I didn't know objectphilia was a thing before that.

For the baby dying story, I would be happy to give you sources if you're interested, just not right now I'm on my phone and I'm already making an effort to write, even if I hate writing on phones.
