You may have heard by now that Fat Princes has rocked the gaming world by daring to put a fat person into a game. Not just into the game mind you, but as a target that people want to chase. This has apparently made some people mad. Feminists have denounced the game as offensive and "Fat hating". Here's what I don't get, the target is to save the "fat person" and to keep them fed. I could understand if it was setup like smear the queer and you're objective was to maim the fatty in any way possible.
A few details have been revealed for the newly released Stubbins Fat Princess Plush.

It’s that time of the month again folks. The time where gamers collectively gather all over the internet to criticize what free games they get this month. So, who plundered the other's fanboys for all their self-worth and gratification in life? Who was the victor in July? Let's take a look.
this game is so awesome. I don't even know why the devs even care about the opinion of fat chicks.
I wonder of the He-Male-Man-Alliance would care if it was a FAT PRINCE title?
Its pathetic that out of all the objectifying of women in the game industry (shake your controller to move boobs anyone?), that THIS CARTOON depiction of a fat woman is what takes the cake. Not the scantily clad women in oh I dunno... ALL games?

Do you think feminists watch every game if there are jokes about fats?
- OMG look! This one, this one! He sh*ts in his pants!
- Yeah but he's not fat.
- Oh.... And him! Here it is! A fat man with rollers, he's fat! OMG OMG!
Honestly, if it was a game where we have to kill fats because they are fats, ok, but it's only a cute game with a cute fat princess,
it does not encourage discrimination against fats.
We shouldn't take it that serious, remember the fat Nathan Drake or the comedian in GTA talking about fat people, or the hidden level in Tenchu 3 full of fat cops (and once they die they say "Donut! Donut! *yum* Heaven..."), etc...
Note: i am myself a fat person, i didn't took Fat Princess as an insult for fats. Or maybe because i am a man? Fat women are maybe more complexed about their weight, but even if obesity is considered as a sickness, it's still because of us if we are fat. Fat feminists should assume their weight and make a diet.
haha, i agree with both of you above. Did anyone catch that BBW (Big Boned Women) ad on the bottom right of the page? haha
