Where's all the plus sized main characters at?

post me some heavy set big boned main heros and heroines, because I cant think of any.

I'd say there are fewer than even poc and women. its time for devs to think about chubbies and soley not fit/muscular physiques.

no, quina quen (or the like) doesnt count as a main character.

I'm not trying to be offensive but is it possible we don't see more "chubby" characters for the same reason we don't see characters who are diabetic or have cancer?

Obesity isn't actually a desired human condition that being muscular/physical fit is.

Of course, video games are fictional, so it doesn't quite matter if there is a 1000 pound guy running around in a game.

Like take the Heavy in TF2. His "fatness" acts as both a strength and weakness (i.e most health in the game, but he also moves slow and is a target for snipers).

As for another fat main character, any South Park game that has Cartman?

Why would you play as an Overweight, Unealthy, Slow Blob thats gonna die of an Heartattack any Minute ?
Not everything has to be an Political Statement, if that triggers you, good.

Plus sized means fat, right? And where, between 'thicc' and 'morbidly obese' does it lie?

Are you seriously comparing having some extra weight to cancer?

Just because you don't like it, it doesn't mean everybody doesn't like it too.
I love seeing men with beer bellies!
 
Dude everybody wants to be the main character. Do you look at a morbidly obese person and go "Geez, I'd love to be that awesome looking dude".

Also, there are LOTS of plus sized characters, just not main because nobody wants to be fat.
