Maybe if this woman spent as much time on the elliptical as she did writing this article, she wouldn't have to complain... feminism has already ruined much of the traditional dynamic of male - female relationships (see: no fault divorce), now it has to ruin gaming too.

feminism ruined Beast Wars

SSBBW Princess

 

[AstroLad]

The name is what hooked everyone on this game when they only had 8 seconds of footage in a giant montage, they need to keep it. Although, "plus-sized Princess" is making me laugh...nah

All of the suggested "weaker" names that people want to avoid would honestly be far more patronizing and insulting to fat acceptance people imo. Fundamentally, they would have to do away with the "fat princess" altogether, no band aid like that would work.

 

[Death_Born]

Fat people can now insult people who put fat people in video games?

All right this has gone too far.

EQUALITY FOR THIN PEOPLE!

Ugh... one step forward, two steps back...

 

[Threi]

I think she's full of shit.

And you know what i have two fat friends and im half-fat myself (or at least 1/8th) so my opinions are valid.

 

[mrWalrus]

Someone needs to get Rosie O'donnell on the phone stat.

 

[TONX]

Now someone put up the WHY SO SERIOUS Joker image so this thread can be awesome.

So you've got like a fat grand parent or something?

 

[Fragamemnon]

I really don't care too much about Fat Princess, but I hope they keep the name because it does hilarious things with Google AdSense. I just got a banner (NOT BONER) for BBWCupid.com.

 

[twinturbo2]

I wonder if she knows about Bob from Tekken 6.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

There is something incredibly ironic about "fat activists."

Oh man, I'm going to be in trouble for laughing.:lol :lol

 

[Steroyd]

Damn... and here I thought there wouldn't be someone not to be pissed off. :lol

 

[Cdammen]

I wonder if she knows about Bob from Tekken 6.

No that's OK, he's a man.

But seriously we've seen many fat dudes in video games but almost no women. And now when we get one people start bitching.

 

[GeoramA]

She's not a princess, so why is she mad?

Maybe if the game was called "Fat Ugly Lane Bryant-Shopping Skank" she would be justified.

 

[Dark Octave]

I think she's full of shit.

I would have guessed pastries, but that's just me.

 

[PistolGrip]

I couldnt ask for a better reply.. :lol

 

[zoku88]

Wait, being fat is a minority now?

Not in the United Stats!!

ba-dum-tiss!

 

[Baha]

Oh yeah, thanks alot for permabanning me amirox over that stupid wax paper joke. I mean c'mon.

:lol :lol

 

[Guts Of Thor]

It was only a matter of time before something like this happened.

:lol

the name better not change! I love it, QQ MOAR!

 

[Threi]

So you've got like a fat grand parent or something?

Yeah i got roots. Stupid ignorant people act like i dont know what the deal is, but i got fat heritage myself you know.

 

[AndresON777]

She didn't get the royalties? Hang in there. Sony's check is on its way


:lol

(EDIT) Oh the comments! They're killing me! :lol

Shop by Himuro.

LMFAO!!!! :lol I was waiting for something like this, GAF never disappoints.

 

[Teknoman]

Fantastic! :lol

/Frank West's voice

So you've got like a fat grand parent or something?

:lol Seriously how can you be 1/2 fat.

 

[DrXym]

Is "heteronormative" even a word? There are sure are some frumpy, angry people in the world.

 

[Teknoman]

You'd think she wouldnt complain. You have to keep the princess safe. Its not like they made in into a bad guy. Also if she doesnt like that, she should excercise.

 

[tanod]

The majority of American adults are certifiably overweight or obese. Her complaint is about as absurd as white people thinking they're being targeted by racial profiling.

 

[Insaniac]

insecure a little bit?

 

[DaFish]

:lol Seriously how can you be 1/2 fat.

Just having a fat ass...? :shruggs:

 

[jarosh]

i made that photoshop, not himuro, you clowns

edit: i lied. it was himuro.

 

[Dali]

Yeah i got roots. Stupid ignorant people act like i dont know what the deal is, but i got fat heritage myself you know.

I hear that. Be proud of your heritage. BTW where are they from... Wales?

Spoiler

I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress, folks.

Just to be clear, you do know that there is no such thing as a "traditional dynamic of male - female relationships", don't you. Times change - so does traditions.

 

[ZeroEdge]

OMFG I'm reading this thread thinking man way to go overboard obviously it's a comical game, blood is being spilled everywhere, little cartoony characters are touting around obese princess and killing the others team in the process for fucks sake how do you find offense in this? Anyway I get a chuckle out of the thread and just about as I'm about to leave this thread I notice the ad banner at the top of the post:

Priceless :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[Ferrio]

Priceless :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Is it just me, or does that look like a fat Alyx Vance?

 

[woxel1]

i made that photoshop, not himuro, you clowns

The watermark is your gently flowing tears...

 

[rollingstart]

i made that photoshop, not himuro, you clowns

Himuro is probably going to get hate mail from this female now for reasons he doesn't understand.

 

[Y2Kev]

Even if heteronormative is standard usage English, how the hell is Fat Princess heteronormative? Is the Princess fat AND gay?

 

[Crisis]

Your butt is wide, well mine is too.

You better watch your mouth, or I'll sit on you.

The word is out. You better treat me right.

Cuz' I'm the king of cellulite.

:lol :lol :lol

 

[pogo pita]

Priceless :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Ironically, I got this:

 

[mollipen]

I typically stay away from garbage like this, but the moron I can be sometimes, I posted a reply over there. People who are always looking for something to offend them just bug me.

 

[Teknoman]

Wow, I see loads of bans...

In all seriousness, I don't see the problem. There's a princess, and she's FAT. Not chunky, not thick, not plump, or other shit that people say to be nice. Now someone put up the WHY SO SERIOUS Joker image so this thread can be awesome.

I hope you kind folks at Titan Studios do not cave into pressure and change the name of the game.

Just to throw in my two cents, thick usually means something else, not just being fat as a whole. Unless my slang terminology needs updating.

 

[AstroLad]

Even if heteronormative is standard usage English, how the hell is Fat Princess heteronormative? Is the Princess fat AND gay?

I'm going to assume it's the "help the princess" trope that she sees as heteronormative.

 

[Dyno]

The NeoGAF all-out-assault on that site was wondrous!

 

[DaFish]

From the comments...

lol, sorry :lol

You have a problem with fat chicks in games.
You have a problem with thin chicks in games.
You have a problem with blonde and buxom chicks in games.
Hold your breath all you want but Final Fantasy Tacos ain't coming.

Hi Gaf! Wheres my damned approval?

 

[Iron_Scimitar]

oh snap

NeoGAF invasion :O

 

[CoG]

And here I thought this was going to be about voice chat :lol

same

 

[Metalmurphy]

Ah yes, this will most likely make people understand your point of view. :lol



The word fat exists for a reason.

 

[diffusionx]

Isn't the point of the game that the enemy was fattening her up?

She really is an object of sympathy in this one.

 

[Shogun]

And GAF officially becomes something awful junior. What she we do next guys, go troll furry message boards?
