a 33-year-old overnight gas station attendant in Bridgeport, Connecticut, doesnt want to look past his online friend with benefits.

He says he first met his online girlfriend on GameFAQs, a video gaming website that hosts message boards, when he was 13 or 14.

They play video games together and message each other all day long (he told me he sent her a hug emoji during our interview).

She has been more than willing to be very close and intimate with me online, he said. So any sexual urge Ive had has been handled by that.

Theres just one problem: theyve never met in person or spoken on the phone. He said she cant because shes mute.

Im pretty convinced its a lie, he admitted.

But at the same time, if I challenge her on it, whats going to happen? Im going to find out the one person Ive been close friends with for decades now is a guy?

I dont want to say I already know that, cause I dont.

He stumbles to find the right words.

Id just be losing a close friend, and I dont want to risk that.

PSA article mentions it. But I omitted his name, and suggest yall do the same when discussing the article.

This was the tweet that started it all
https://twitter.com/grahamsig/status/1260360673328082944?s=46&t=bliXJRf-aWaVkg93WwBYLw

This was one of many new articles published:
https://www.vg247.com/persona-2-blasphemy-gamefaqs-guide

Site Wide ANN targeting lurking media:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/11-team-gamefaqs/78685266

I made a poll on the dead board and it got 850 votes due to incoming traffic.

Oddly enough the board has been active ever since.

I mean, people really should be updating their old guys to include new contact info. Especially if they have social media accounts and YouTube channels and stuff.

This guy put his name to his public info, but his gamefaqs account was closed long ago. Possibly has a new account, but I didn't look that far; he was smart enough to not associate his real name with it this time. So he's probably safe from gamefaqs harassment.

I saw that in 2014 he was writing for a local online tabloid, and his official bio of qualifications mentioned that he had written over 50 reviews for GameFaqs hes also one of his towns Official Republican Committee Representatives
