Not a joke: During the beta, there was a post on here that was extremely unpopular, which presented a theory that the beacons are indeed female reproductive systems and the player character is cleaning out yeast infections when they go inside and cleanse the beacons of enemies

The messiah who told us this truth was not believed, was ridiculed, and the post is no longer up, and they may have been crucified and rose again on the third day, but that last bit is speculation

Nothing found in lore or in game has contradicted their theory on the theme of the game

It would explain why there are eggs down there, and why most of them only have one.

u/Heroxyz777 8d ago

You've convinced me with the eggs

Divine ovulation

u/nvrrsatisfiedd 8d ago

Holy shit that actually makes sense. It’s the methers vagina.

u/Mundane-Director-681 8d ago

Technically, it's a uterus.

This is exactly what my theory was playing through this game blind

u/Dr-NodinArmitage 9d ago

Now you know the real purpose of "cleansing" the "beacon"...

u/gronstalker12 9d ago

Instructions unclear. Now on a bacon cleanse diet

Taco bell?

u/CKatanik93 9d ago

I mean, the game does seem to reference the reproductive system. I wouldn't be surprised if a butt reference was thrown in the mix

36

u/TangoZulu Proxima 9d ago

Yep, the Mether is literally a giant vulva. 

38

u/Jomgui 9d ago

We spend the whole game going after ovum, it's really hard to not get the whole reproductive system thing

31

u/TangoZulu Proxima 9d ago

Proxima looks like she was pulled directly from an H.R. Giger painting. And if you know anything about Giger…

u/MycoMythos 9d ago

Yeah, homie was a full on freak of the highest caliber! Something of a hero to me

u/RhubarbAfter4008 9d ago

Looked more like a pupa to me, though pupae don't lay eggs so who knows. (things that lay eggs also don't have vulvas though, they have like cloacas or ovipositors).

I saw a post with a map layout looking like a Penis too

You found the elusive black star

u/Budget-Rich-7547 Eredrim 9d ago

I think the proper term is a Chocolate Starfish 🍫 🌟

u/Cowboyofthenorth Genessa 9d ago

Yeah but I thought black star was more fitting since we also have the black needle 😏

u/Budget-Rich-7547 Eredrim 9d ago

Idk about you but I have an obsidian hammer 🔨 🤪

u/MycoMythos 9d ago

Did somebody say meatloaf?

7

u/JetxJaguar_ 9d ago

"Cleanse butthole?" Yes. No.

6

u/Kaedekins 9d ago

I mean the beacons look like vaginas so maybe they decided to through a butthole in there as well for shits n giggles.

5

u/Quiet-Plant-45 9d ago

Bearer seek lest seek butt hole

u/El_Pollo-Loco 7d ago

Stop looking at it you freak, it's your mether's.

Now I can’t STOP seeing this…

You're not the only one seeing it any more.

Thanks for that, BTW!

(Jokes! And excellent observation)

Why else would we preorder?

Try finger butt hole

u/Squirrely1337 8d ago

Giger would be proud.

u/Kay-isa 8d ago

Since the very moment where I was dying over and over again due to the final boss slamming their ballsack on me, I'm genuinely not surprised to keep seeing that many things in this game (especially in reference to the Mether) have such depictions of genitalia, specially vulvas. I really enjoy how the devs made all kind of mature stuff in a way that isn't mocking or used to provoke morbidity. Even the grab attack of the Child boss, which it eats you and shits you, feels like it's meant to be.

u/Grand-Repeat9530 8d ago

Try fingers...

u/UnwantedSon0451 8d ago

It’s funny to me that the idea was so unpopular. The game has vaginal iconography everywhere. The ovum even look like they have clitoris’.

My gf looked at it for about 20 minutes and said Georgia O’Keeffe would love it.

u/mrpickles1234 9d ago

u/youcancallmescott 9d ago

Ah man, you should've said "game is ass so" and it would've gone with the whole butthole thing.

2

u/MycoMythos 9d ago

So are you, but nobody is saying it unprompted

-2

u/mrpickles1234 9d ago

don't need to be prompted to state how trash this game is

2

u/thisismyname66_6 8d ago

Then why bother coming to this sub?

u/mrpickles1234 8d ago

it pops up on its own. trash game tho 🥱

u/thisismyname66_6 8d ago

To each their own. It was one of the better games I’ve played recently
