Dispatch fans just discovered an uncomfortable truth about their game after one streamer jokingly called it “Twilight for dudes.” And it’s not entirely wrong.
The Twilight Parallels Fans Don’t Want to Admit
Popular variety streamer Stormfall33 went on a tangent after playing 2025’s unexpected episodic hit. While she clearly enjoyed the game and everything it offers, she shared an interesting take where the main character is a “placeholder for lonely dudes.” Considering Dispatch is primarily a game built for the male gaze, featuring attractive women like Blonde Blazer, Malevola, and Invisigal. As a result, this statement quickly jolted some of its male fans.
She then went on and called out chat for Aaron Paul’s character, Robert, saying his unrealistic harem of lovers can be compared to Stephenie Meyer’s ‘Twilight’ series. Naturally, her chat seems to agree on that, and as a Dispatch fan myself, there’s a hint of truth to her hilarious statement.
Stormfall33 continued to talk about Dispatch and Twilight’s similarities, where the loner, introverted protagonist is trapped between the embrace of two romantic interests. Like Bella Swan from Twilight, the streamer linked Edward Cullen as Blonde Blazer and Jacob Black as Invisigal.
Dispatch fans are in a crisis after Stormfall33’s statement, causing its official subreddit to overreact. Memes, threads in denial, and arguments populate the post. Some argue that what the streamer said was nitpicky, while others didn’t realize the hilarious similarity sooner.
Why the “Twilight for Dudes” Comparison Hit a Nerve
The comparisons make sense, in a way. Edward Cullen and Blonde Blazer are characters that have the ability to glow (or sparkle), and they are the first possible romantic interests introduced to the protagonist. Yet beyond that comparison, both have equally distinct personalities. Blonde Blazer is a functioning alcoholic, whereas Edward Cullen is a brooding and self-loathing vampire.
The Invisigal and Jacob Black comparison does make the most sense. Both characters are temperamental, which often causes drama in their protagonists’ lives.
The Twilight comparison is no way a jab at its fans or the game. Rather, it’s a hilarious way of looking at AdHoc’s magnum opus. While the community can all agree that Dispatch’s writing and narrative tone are significantly better than Meyer’s, they just couldn’t accept the harsh truth that there are certain similarities in its love-triangle formula.
Of course, not all Dispatch fans seem to agree with that comparison. Others dismiss her claim, saying that Robert and Bella’s love triangles are generic tropes in love stories. Fans even added that despite its notable similarities, the romance aspect isn’t what Dispatch is ultimately about. From breaking away from your comfort zone to making tough decisions, Dispatch’s story isn’t just about its love triangle. There are multiple endings, and picking the “single” path is one of them.
Whether they completely agree with that statement or not, at the end of the day, Dispatch’s “Twilight for Dudes” is just a casual and harmless joke. As a Dispatch fan myself, it’s pretty funny, and no one should take it seriously.
