Millionaire OnlyFans creator Skylar Mae has entered the growing social media debate over Grand Theft Auto VI, advising women to relax as anticipation builds for the November 19 release of Rockstar Games’ upcoming title, PerthNow reported.
The upcoming action-adventure game features criminal couple Jason and Lucia navigating the fictional state of Leonida, where their romantic relationship plays a central role in the storyline alongside virtual strip clubs and adult entertainment.
Online Debate Over Virtual Infidelity
The game’s mechanics have sparked fierce disputes across TikTok and other platforms. Some partners argue that spending hours immersed in a virtual relationship, alongside interacting with in-game adult entertainment, constitutes cheating.
Among those driving the discussion is Shelby Haas, a TikTok creator with 1.1 million followers, who posted a viral video declaring that her fiancé is banned from playing the title. Haas cited requirements to maintain a relationship with a female character—including texting, taking her on dates, and engaging in virtual intimacy—as reasons for the ban.
“Don’t let your boyfriend, fiancé or husband play GTA 6,” Haas told viewers in her video, adding objections to the game’s strip clubs and nudist themes.
Commenters on the platform divided sharply over the stance. Some users labeled the gameplay “seriously weird” and argued that men would object to an equivalent female-focused game, while others criticized the bans as a sign of insecurity over pixels.
OnlyFans Creator Defends Gamers
Weighing in on the controversy, Skylar Mae dismissed concerns that maintaining a virtual relationship equates to infidelity. The 23-year-old content creator, who earns more than $1.5 million a month on OnlyFans, told Jam Press that she finds the backlash amusing.
“Obviously, there’s the strip club aspect, which I can understand might upset some women, but at the end of the day, it’s still just a video game character,” Mae said, as reported by PerthNow and the New York Post.
Mae suggested that critics should focus on real-world behavior rather than scripted video game elements. “They could be out at a real strip club or actually cheating on you in real life,” she said, drawing a parallel to her own platform. “It’s the same thing with OnlyFans. Hey, at least they’re doing it at home and not physically cheating on you with someone else!”
Advice From the Adult Industry Star
Rather than prohibiting partners from playing, Mae encouraged women to experience the software firsthand before passing judgment.
“My advice is to 100 per cent play the game for yourself!” she said. “I think these girls should just jump on the game themselves, take a look and chill out, because at least their boyfriends aren’t cheating on them in real life!”
The franchise has faced scrutiny for explicit content and simulated strip club gameplay featuring lap dances and optional prostitution since the release of the first edition in 1997, according to the New York Post.
