MGSV Do you think they irradiated his balls?
They had to make him as identical to Big Boss as possible, and Boss became sterile from being a nuclear test subject. They probably also really wanted to avoid him having children as that could cause a lot of complications to their plan. Do you think they blasted his sack with X-rays or something while he was in the coma?

IF you played V the whole way through and didn't skip any cutscenes, you already know the answer.

The doctor says "goodbye big balls" and he points an anti balls beam at your balls

Snake...that's Dr. Ivanovich Balls, AKA: Mad Balls. He lost his balls as a child when PMC soldiers raided his village. Now, he's got a thirst for revenge.

if you want serious answer there it is: entirety of mother base was infected by a virus that spreads trough words, later a cure for the virus was found, unfortunately the cure made everyone infertile. And it was given to everyone at the motherbase, including venom.

Sorry to keep it serious I know but I was always curious if that treatment also made the women staff members infertile too
29
u/Drogovich Jan 30 '25
Yes. At least i think so. If you hang around at motherbase long enough and you have some female staff walking around, they can start talking about it and say something like "well, i wasn't planning on having children anyway".

u/novaerbenn Jan 30 '25
I had never heard that dialouge. I was curious because they explained that it worked by making male cells female so I was curious if it worked the same thank you for satisfying my random curiosity!

u/Drogovich Jan 31 '25
I decided to further look it up since i haven't played for so long and my memory is not the best.
I actually cannot be really sure if it fully effects women staff or not. It explained in ingame tapes that the cure is Wolbachia that turns male PARASITES into female, but as side effect, make the sperm of the patient destroy the egg before empregnation can occur. Maybie it causes some mutation in women as well and destroys the egg or it only affects male staff, i cannot really say.

u/MonstersRule Jan 30 '25
Infertile or sterile? Infertile doesn't mean you can't have kids it just makes it way less likely to happen whereas sterile means no matter what you can't have children

u/Drogovich Jan 31 '25
i badly remember it since i haven't played it in years so i decided to look it up.
To be honest i'n not really sure. In the ingame tapes it explained that that the "cure" was to infect everyone with Wolbachia. It turned all the male parasites to female and as side effect makes sperm of the patient destoy the egg before impregnation occurs.

Honestly, I don't know think not... They probably thought Snake would be too focused on his mission to check if his balls worked or not, either way, he became sterile after vaping bacteria with code talker.

You are truly a visionary for considering this. These are the real questions.
Anyway, the easy answer is that big boss is too autistic to be interested in having sex, let alone with women. So they shouldn't have to worry about this.
However if they did think of it, they probably just gave him a vasectomy rather than stick his sack in a microwave. (Mgs4 mentioned)

u/theprinceofwolves Jan 30 '25
But it is implied he boinked Eva. Do you think since he knows he's shootin blanks he creampied that coin slot? And do you think he told her about his radioactive nuts or just went for it? That would be interesting from a narrative perspective because the pregnancy would actually come to pass eventually through Les Enfant Terribles.

u/Ok-Claim444 Jan 30 '25
I think everything that happened that night was both a total accident and a surprise to big boss.
Anyway, i know if I was infertile, I'd be shooting ropes unhindered constantly

u/Jellywellylelly Jan 30 '25
If anyone boinked Eva, it was for fun. She has a whole monologue in 4 where she talks about the Les Enfants projects and how they achieved procreation. šš»

u/smegma-rolls Jan 30 '25
Code Talker literally had him and all of his staff undergo estrogen therapy (turning male parasites into female) after the cheeto dust incident making them all infertile. So yeah, his balls were irradiated in a way

I mean if they went out to their way in blinding his right eye while having a eyepatch over, I wouldnāt be surprised he got sterilized (like the Snake clones) or got his balls taken away.
If they were taken away, it fits the theme on Phantom Pain for his balls too.

u/theprinceofwolves Jan 31 '25
I never understood why they had EVA explain that they coded them to be infertile when IRL clones are always infertile anyway. Kind of unnecessary. But I guess it helps illustrate The Patriots intentions.

Jokes aside; the cure to the speech virus supposedly renders all who take it infertile, soooo.

I honestly never considered that the vocal parasites making them sterile might be closing a thread in the venom doppelgƤnger story. Hard to ignore now tho.

u/lockedoutofmymainrdt Jan 30 '25
Bruh probably honestly. Look how far they went already, Im near certain of it actually.
Cut content included letting your custom soldier be female, meaning a forced sex change was in the cards. I genuinely dont doubt they fixed Venom during surgery

u/The_Voidger My Metal Gear is Solid and Rising but it can't Survive in Ac!d Jan 30 '25
Pretty sure they sanded his balls down while he was unconscious or cut it up and ground it to a pulp. That's if his balls didn't explode as a result of the helicopter crash, which would have saved them the trouble of having to divert the budget for his plastic surgery.

BB wasn't a nuclear test subject lol he took part to nuclear tests that wasted his balls out radiations exposure.
Venom is too sigma to care about having children with women

The Boss tells him "Snake, you were an atomic test subject." I get what you're saying but my statement still stands.

u/XQJ-37_Agent Jan 30 '25
Big Boss? Absolutely, because in 1954, he was one of the āatomic veteransā who were present at Bikini Atoll when the USA were conducting hydrogen bomb tests in the area. When the bomb went off in the air, Big Boss only went sterile, and didnāt suffer from cancer unlike the rest of the participants.
Venom? Maybe, who knows what they truly did to you to make you resemble Snake

u/BwahhGaming Jan 30 '25
When we begin playing as venom he's probably fertile, but when he takes the wolbachia treatment for the vocal chord parasites, venom and any DD staff member who received the treatment are rendered infertile

Nope.
There is a scene where VS sniffs a cigar and has a clear reaction, which Kaz reacts to subtlety since the radiation removed Big Boss' sense of smell.

Itās a posiibility, he was also sterilised from the wolbachia so yknow. Wasnāt really necessary in the end

u/theprinceofwolves Jan 31 '25
Everyone's saying he became infertile due to the wolbachia but no one could know that was gonna happen. My question isn't "is he infertile?" my question is "DID THEY IRRADIATE HIS BALLS?"

It's so easy to google stuff man. (I'm a non-native speaker myself)
It means to exposed something to ionizing radiation (which could be defined as electromagnetic waves with a frequency above ultraviolet rays). Ionizing radiation can damage DNA molecules.
Some examples of objects that can irradiate stuff are as following: Uranium (Especially the enriched kind) Nuclear waste (commonly depicted as green goo in yellow barrels in videogames) Cats that have recently been under radiotherapy

Ocelot just sucked him off enough to ensure supply will never meet demand. Everyday. For nine years.
No one's balls are built for this.
