So... fat chicks.

[Aries_Split]

Fat people piss me off. They are trying to pass it off as a fucking sickness.

Can you imagine Jesus' time?
A leper goes to up to Jesus, and says "Please lord, my skin is falling off, heal me."
And jesus says "I cannot, that lady over there is on her third slice of pie!"

Waaaaaaay too much "poor me" goes on these days. Look up the fat-acceptance movement on wikipedia some time for epic lulz. Also, the neogaf thread on this is pretty dang funny (if a bit more hostile and vitriolic than your normal escapist fare.)

Some Gervais magic there.

Isn't that from Ricky Gervais?

Ignoring the reference; Aries_Split, there are genetic traits that make it hard to lose weight, or even impossible. It's not entirely voluntary. I'm lucky enough to have the reverse, that I can eat as much of whatever I want and still stay lean. Metabolism really makes a huge difference.

I'd love to hear of a condition that spontaneously makes you a fatass. Point is, she's barking about something that in all likelihood, she has total control over: her lack of self esteem.

Those genetic disorders collectively make up a tiny percentage of the causes for Obesity, also an important note about the genetic causes for obesity are that they cause childhood obesity. Genes don't just idle around till you turn 22 and suddenly swell the fat cells.
Whilst some genes just make it harder to lose weight, it can be done if the person is committed to staying fit.

Yes metabolism plays a huge part in weight control, but metabolism can be changed. The fitter you are, the more efficient your metabolism will become at converting food into energy instead of storing it as fat. Some people are lucky and are born with a very good metabolism, others have to work hard for it - but they can achieve it. It just takes time and effort, like most things in life.

I'm fat person. I don't care. I laugh at fat jokes. Although I'm not a woman, so it may be different.

Praeder Willis Syndrome. I'd advise against making such rash judgements

 

[AntiAntagonist]

So the players of both teams are trying to capture/save the princess regardless of her condition...

Villains:"Quick overfeed her so that she's harder to carry away!"
Hero1:"Save the Princess!"
Hero2:"But she's so fat, why would we want her?" (a question I've never heard a gamer or journalist mention)
Hero1:"Save the Princess!"

I could understand the idea of portraying the Princess as a poor female role model since as a waif she is a powerless object within the game. However the gameplay mechanic can be used regardless of sex, orientation, political belief, or any number of different variables.

Since i love reading so much, i'll come back in a few minutes to read the rest of this thread.

But i'm surprised i didn't see this coming or atleast know that some people would be offended when i saw a small article about the Fat Princess game.

Once i play the demo (there HAS to be a demo) depending on how awesome it is i'll get it, but in no way does this promote that fat people are ugly or any of the other points that the article-er mentioned. In fact, it says the opposite because of the art style and the fact that you have to save her. This is like saying that MGS4 is offensive to old people because the main character is an old person killing everyone (if you choose so)

And i find it funny how the article-er wrote how she (or he?) doesn't care what awesome "photoshopping skills" you have and will just ignore them when the whole damn article is just praying for controversy.

Sorry if i'm all over the place here, it's just a very funny topic.

this is priceless

There are people who protested against WALL-E on the grounds that it was biased against the obese. (I grant them the courtesy of still considering them "people" despite the obvious evidence indicating sub-human reasoning skills.) Augh.

Indeed, I think there are people who just seek out reasons to feel offended. *I* feel that the world would be a better place if we just patted each one on the head, said, "There there, dear," and stood back to avoid getting splashed when their heads exploded.

A news story comes to mind.

Tunbridge Wells Council have banned wolf-whistling on building sites.

BY the women to the builders.

Now...can ANY male here say that they would be offended by someone doing that to them? Never mind builders.

 

[LegsyWegsy]

when i read that i nearly peed myself, im fat too (though not a chick) and i find it funny, i never heard of that game till now (kind of inbetween hardcore and casual me) and i would actually buy it, btw if you havent look at the update, Batman related puns rule

 

[Grampy_bone]

When men have problems it's their own fault and it's either live with them or fix them yourself.

But with women like this it's all "boo hoo accept me for who I am! Wah wah wah!" They don't want to compete in the game of life but they expect all the prizes.

 

[Shamtee]

I think that game is adorable and also think 'what a clever idea'. I'm tired of the feminist/sexism police and im a chick, chubby, and happy. If the game was flipped over and you had a rescue a once-thin-now-fat prince, would we have you guys moaning, complaining and protesting about it? I think not.
