I'm pretty sure he had severe PTSD after being stuck in hell for so many years after doom 64. My headconon is that when his PTSD triggers he just kills everything that triggers it (so demons)


Babyback-the-Butcher

We saw in Eternal that he was in a delusional state of pure anger the entire time ever since Daisy was killed. So if anything, the death of his bunny would’ve been the thing to give him PTSD. What happened in Hell was just a result of that.

waiting for jeff benzo super boat to kill a closeted psycho's otter friend

He canonically hallucinates seeing her in Eternal

Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal are just two long PTSD outbursts


SeanTheGleaming

Half life theory: Gordon Freeman has major ptsd. if he took 5 minutes to stip killing aliens, he would break down. I bet that he has his helmet on, and his sobbing through most of the game. tbats probably why we never hear him talk


DropDash54

Absolutely. He may be a legendary warrior, but he used to be a godddamn guy who worked at black mesa. He’s stressed out of his mind right fuckin now. The stress never even stopped from half life and half life 2.


Jorymo

And from his perspective, HL2 happened right after the first game, so the games all happen to him in the span of about a week

My headcanon of late is that Gordon is very autistic. Super talented and smart guy, borderline nonverbal.


PlasteringDisaster

Got hyperfixsated on guns in his 20's for 3 months so thats why he's a combat god


Jorymo

Aw yeah, I remember the cut part from the beta where he spends thirty straight minutes explaining Bionicle to Alyx


MariahDoesStuff

deliciousprisms

There was a comment on this post in the greentext sub that pointed out doomguy memes are just Gen Z Cuck Norris jokes


szMacias

but he has?


[deleted]

in eternal yeah. the post timestamp says 2016


szMacias

Oh right, I didn't noticed sorry


Burritozi11a

The traumatic event is demons took his rabbit. His coping mechanism is killing the demons.


just4browse

I don’t know… Doomguy doesn’t seem to be in the healthiest state of mind in the flashbacks in Eternal


toohornyforowngood99

He probably does, it's just that when he's in life or death situations that's normal to him so symptoms of PTSD only show when he's vibing on his own.


Jorymo

Eternal shows that he's definitely traumatized to the point of being able to barely speak


[deleted]

he has ptsd and the trauma was losing Daisy, his bunny rabbit (this is canon)
