Neutral, really. You get people acting like the Escapist is some kind of haven for sensible people, that the userbase is generally more intelligent than what you'd normally find, but quite evidently, that's not true. People are as stupid here as they are anywhere else.

Fat people whining about the prejudice they face is pretty annoying, as is blog ranting. But in this instance, the fat whining and blog ranting have converged, which is like "crossing the streams." Catastrophic.
She must go defeat the Stay-Puft marshmallow man now.... or eat him.

Damn, sorry, I couldn't resist the fat joke at her expense. She seems like she's quite a ***** since she took this so seriously.

I saw this comment on another site (forget where), but it seemed too good not to repost;

Unsure who to credit said:
OH THE HUGE MANATEE!one!1
Seriously if it was Fat Prince we wouldn't hear anybody complain. Double standards FTL.

And about the photoshopping [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/9.66850.580547], it was done on Destructoid by Pedro Blandino [http://www.destructoid.com/feminists-sh-t-all-over-fat-princess-real-people-laugh-96594.phtml]

Note: I didn't shop this, nor do I take credit for 60% of this post. I am also ashamed for reading Destructoid.

Well, I just can't wait for the lawsuits.
"Fat Princess, my kids loved it sooo much , they idolized it to such a degree, that they consumed food in such excess, now they are morbidly obese with no one to rescue them..."

Much like the parents that blamed their children for burning their house down from watching "Beavis & Butt-head cartoons", or the link certain newsgroups like to make between college shootings and FPS's.

I'm just waiting to see what controversy this drums up.

Personally I don't feel it's in bad taste. Did pac-man have an eating disorder? Did burgertime convince the youths of the world to consume excess cheeseburgers? So what if your fat? If it was that big of a personal issue, you would take steps to change it, either through physical or medical, you can change if you wanted to.

Personally, I like my gravy tank, in all its giggly goodness.

*sigh* When will fat people stop crying about being fat and just hit the gym? (Also, don't read the comments. Made me want to vomit. One of these days people will realize that the best way to get people to take them seriously as a subsection of the population is to stop waving their banners that say, "I'M DIFFERENT! BUT DON'T TREAT ME DIFFERENT!")

Anyway, now that that's out of my system, I fail to see where the author finds fault with the game, all I got was a heavy helping of "omfg fu sony, fat is beautiful. Also, girls rock! Wooo!"

Get. Over. Yourselves.

In the interest of full disclosure, I am what you might describe as corpulent. I'm not a house, by any means, but I'm definitely heavy. This isn't something I'm ashamed of, however, and it's sure as shit not something that's going to make me blame my own diminished sense of self-worth out on some faceless corporation. It's also something people are in TOTAL CONTROL OF CHANGING. Don't like being fat and unattractive? Go to the fucking gym and eat better, fatty McFatfat.

I could see being offended if you were rushing in to rescue a prince and the opposing team kept exposing him to the gay as a way to keep you from being able to rescue him...

PS: Also, this game looks amazing and I'm going to buy it day 1 and recommend that all of my friends do the same.

PPS: If this game is anti-feminist, these chicks must HATE Super Mario Bros...

PPPS: I lied, there is some comment gold in that blog. Like this. [http://i33.tinypic.com/okapav.jpg]
I second that.

Well either way she will end up eating him, you remember that mess he left behind... I mean like how else would you dispose of that much raw marshmallow?

No Pacman encourages youths to run around dark rooms with flashing lights, electronic music and eating as many pills as they can find......

Giant S'mores?

On-topic: I just see a funny little game, but the media will probably blame it for 3 riots, 5 shootings, 2 bank robberies,and a murder.

You know, it's possible to say "I don't think that game is anti-feminist or discriminatory against fat people" without going into a hopping frenzy and saying all kinds of things that actually are anti-feminist or discriminatory against fat people.

Knowing about the game helps to prevent misconceptions. To non-gamers whose life is already pretty hard because of other aspect of social discrimination though (I assure you, us uglies have it much tougher than those blond beauties), life is "bad" (relatively) enough that they would want to take it out on the world. It's like a physical manifestation of being emo--you feel neglected because you spend Friday nights alone, watching TV while your roommate is out getting laid. Not fun, and most people would rather blame someone else for it.
Someone people take it quite seriously though.. this girl I know went out and lost a dozen lb right after I didn't make a move on her. I actually thought she was cute. I just didn't think it was right to take advantage of a drunk person.

Just wondering: are the developers American or Japanese? The cultural context is quite different, after all.

Besides, a game where you capture a woman, keep her in a dungeon, and feed her food levels that result in body modification? That's some kinky ass game if you ask me.
Aside:

Man, I would kill for a game that thoughtfully explores kink -- either seriously or playfully would be equally cool, as long as it's got some shred of freakin' subtlety and intelligence to it.

I am anti-feminist. The thing is feminism=/= equality.
(I assure you, us uglies have it much tougher than those blond beauties),
Irrelevant I know, but I personally find black hair more attractive.

Agreed, and that'll probably get it banned in the US.
That is also true of a lot of people attacking the game. But at least those people want to make the world a better place where the other side just wants to feel superior because their mommies didn't love them enough or something.
Both sides want to make the world a better place, one side wants to get rid of the nutjobs of the other side to make society a better place to live in.
So let me try and do just what you're talking about: I took this game as just playfully messing about with the wide variety of forms humans come in. Kinda like how I never watched Fat Albert and though 'oh my goodness that's terrible'. In a perfect world where people didn't have the kind of personal demons that cause them to go on the internet to say how much they hate fat people, this game would be no more offensive than an Alice in Wonderland game where you eat a cake to become tall.
I'm yet to see someone who hates fat people, I hate fat people that try to act like they're victims from a game that does not victimize them.

lol everything is full of fail from this thread and from the person who ranted on this game in the linked topic. *sigh* Honestly...People, fail at life. I have to say that the person who wrote the rant is a *****, and a dumb one at that. Blogging online is the way to get your voice heard! *sarcasm* But anyways, back on topic if you actually read up on the game, its about feeding the princess large amounts of food and then having the knight or w.e come and save her...Still saving her? He must hate fat people. oh wait...yeah thats right, hes still saving her so there goes that argument. Fission Mailed.
