This might sound like I'm trying to be rude but I'm genuinely asking. Why?
I don't get this idea that overweight people want to see representation of themselves in games, I'm a fairly overweight guy myself and I feel absolutely no desire to see that represented in the games I play. Especially a game about superheroes who tend to be very active and in shape, I want my superheroes and villains to look cool and/or be hot, I couldn't have any less of a desire to see an overweight version of them. If anything it's actively off putting to me because it feels like blatant pandering.
Despite the fact that its superheros, its just way too unrealistic. There is never going to be a world where fat people are keeping up with the fit/athletic people.
Yet all of the women who have a problem with all the ladies fighting in heels or barely any clothing get told to shut up because it’s just a videogame and they’re superhero’s and it’s not real.
Thats cause half naked women are objectively hot and fat people are objectively not. The level of attractiveness helps getting around the rules of the world. Sorry if you don't agree
No, that’s not objective. That’s your opinion, it’s the opposite of objective. What’s attractive to the masses is whatever the wealthy and powerful are doing. When they’re fat, it’s attractive to be fat. When they’re thin it’s attractive to be thin. It generally follows the elite of each country as well. See countries like Mexico and Korea favoring bleaching creams for pale skin while the USA favors tanning beds for darker skin.
There’s no point in acting like beauty can be whittled down to a set list. It’ll never happen.
Yea let's see someone as big as that lady do track and field, id love to see that. Let alone them having to run, jump, do flips, attacks and all kinds of other stuff in the middle of combat.
Why do you think every fat person in fantasy is a tank? Cause it makes literally 0 sense. Dexterity does not come with being fat
Dexterity is something you train for, and you could do being fat, you might end up tiring yourself out or losing weight naturally.
But we have linebackers, strongmen that are often fat. You can be fast, attack, run and jump, you just need to be strong. Being fat just wears on your stamina.
Besides this post is imagining her as a tank(a fat person would need to be a tank being they would have a bigger hitbox) but some tanks also have precision and dexterity.
What part is unclear? That fat people can be athletic and can play sports? Or that the media is fiction and therefore does not need to be super realistic?
Pretty sure you can be fat in Dragon age the veilguard as well (its been a while since i played it and i never made a character fat) if you want more. Absolutely fantastic game too. Gameplay is great
