can't remember where i heard it, but i know the phrase to say here: "People who take things too seriously make the world all the more fun for the rest of us"
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
I don't know about these bitches, but I actually like big girls. I think it's more offensive that they're, in fact, making fun of fat girls more than the game does.

I have a penis, and I am offended by what this lady said.
"What I can't figure out is why anyone would want to rescue a fat princess in the first place, since everyone knows that fat girls are unlovable human garbage at whom any sensible bloke would sooner hurl invective than cast a longing glance."
First, I like me a girl with meat on her bones. Every woman is beautiful in their own way, size doesn't fucking matter. Second, this lady freaking bashed bigger women. What kind of feminist would do such a thing to her own gender?

You're just thinking heteronormatively-like enough... like... bloody feminists, THIS AIN'T THE 80s LOVE!
The best part is she deleted all the comments that didn't agree with her, and then closed the comments down.
Fat chick hates on game that is centric around chicks and making them fat?
Home. We've hit too close to it.

You remember that Mika song 'Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)'? Yeah fat girls got up in arms over that as well. Fat girls just like jumping on everything that they can bitch about.
Barcade:
I'm with you on that. I don't give a shit how fat/thin a girl is if she's attractive, and I know some damn hot big girls.

Also, why in the hell was anyone cruising around Shakespeares Sister? Sis and Marcotte are like the biggest man haters on the planet and, not to mention, completely batshit crazy.
The fact that they see a fat girl in a game and get offended is more offensive than having a fat girl in a game.
For instance, I'm fat and I saw this game and thought nothing of it. Plus, shes not fat because shes fat - like me - I make bad choices. I heard shes fat because the enemy forced her to eat. Either way it shouldn't be offensive.
The best part is that "Pony Girl" got mad because people posted on her site and made good points that made her look dumb so she shut down the comments.
You know what they say, if you can't take the heat, get back in the kitchen... and make me some dinner bitch.

Apparently, "heteronormative" (which firefox doesn't believe is a word) has a lot more to do with being homophobic than misogynistic. It's almost tragic to see bottom feeders use $20 words wrong. Almost.
No one would think I was a fat woman just to hear me talk, because the majority of fat women are fucking annoying as hell. Either they're oversensitive blowhards who take the slightest mention of weight and turn it into a whiny victim-fest, or they confuse being beautiful with being trampy and immodest, claiming they have a "right" to walk around in tube tops and hot pants.
Fewer large women today know how to have any class whatsoever because, deep down, they're so damned self-conscious and self-hating while attempting to preach to other big women about having confidence or fighting injustices against us.
Bottom line is - they whine when big people are left out of movies and games, and they whine when you include them. They're idiots, and should, in no way, be confused with those few of us who aren't neurotic.

I'm all for equal rights, and not treating anyone, including women, like objects. But these 'women' are pathetic. They feel that any mention of a girl that doesn't leave them completely androgynous is 'sexist' or 'misogynistic'. And then they can't handle comments from people that disagree with them, so they delete them (and publicly admit to deleting comments) and then shut comments down. Perhaps my heteronormativity is causing me to miss the point considering that has to do with sexual orientation, and not obesity, I'm going to assume these 'women' are just being bitches because that's what they know best.
somehow, I figured this would be a Jim Sterling post. funny that.
meh. its just somebody's observation on a small-blog. Its weird how these things get so much attention from game-blogs, like their local senator or magistrate just signed a bill with his dick cementing a gamer's perceived morality.
w/e its Wednesday . . .

…and with that, I’m shutting down comments. I’m too busy for this shit. Go off and claim your victory, trolls. Just because I’m too busy to repeatedly wipe your bottoms for you does not mean you’re big boys now. It means you’ll have to shit in your own crib from now on.
It’s a shame, I really liked where the “let’s design our own game” was going. It’s too bad the fanboys hate games so much they had to disrupt it.
OH THE HUGE MANATEE

I think they get attention because dumb shit like this is funny, not because anyone feels threatened by it. Good for a laugh, but not much else.

Right as I read this article Jimmy Carr just said this, and it is soooo appropriate.
"Someone complained about that joke last night. She was a big boned girl.
She said "You're fattist!"
I said "No, you're fattest." "

Personally i'm of the opinion that there are still plenty of sexist phenomena in our society that need to be tackled, the disgracefully low rape conviction rate, the sexualisation of early and pre-teen girls, the glass ceiling etc. If these women want to call themselves feminists, they need to get off their fat, lesbian arses and start fighting the important battles, not joining the seemingly endless fucking chorus of voices that use videogames as a platform for spouting their half-baked views on society's ills. This is EXACTLY the same as the people that blame violence on video games, they don't have the ability, courage or inclination to stand up against genuine influences on people's behaviour because to do so would be to go against the kind of social norms these drooling morons claim to oppose in the first place. Much as Jack Thompson no doubt supports the many and varied right wing ideologies that cause us to live in such a violent world, i bet the utter fucking tool that ranted against Fat Princess reads gossip magazines and watches america/britain/wherever the fuck's top model.
I'm a bleeding heart, anti-sexism, anti-racism, anti-homophobia, anti-gun, anti-war, socialist lefty and even i want to punch this fat whore straight in the cunt.

The Fat Princess didn't choose to be fat she was forced by the enemy forces so the good guys couldn't carry her away.
It's not her fault!
It's not her fault!
She's just mad she can't wear her sweatpants with "FAT PRINCESS" written across the ass anymore without looking like a Sony billboard.
#1. Its a game.
#2. If it was called Fat Prince it would be ok.
#3. Go work out.
#4. Why are people so fucking retarded?
#5. Its a game.
#6. They are helping her not harrassing her.
#7. I such at spelling.
#8. Back in the day, if you were fat it meant you were rich & feed well.
#9. Go fuck yourself you fatass crybaby.

Bitch is just jealous she can't have all the cake she wants.
She needs a good fucking to chill her out.

I don't understand the problem. Your trying to save the fat princess aren't you? These woman should be happy that the princess is still wanted even though she's obese.
It's not like you go on a quest to find the princess. Arrive, only find out she's gotten fat. Then throw her a lamb chop and be on your merry way.
Also, on a more juvenille note. Maybe Shakes was just pissed because seeing the fat princess was like glancing into a mirrior.

While I enjoy reading Destructoid most of the time, I am often surprised at how entirely insensitive this blog and its readers tend to become when faced with any sort of political/social criticism of a video game. Destructoid has come down fairly concretely on the "that is dumb" side of the argument surrounding N'Gai's comments on race in Resident Evil 5, and is now loudly proclaiming that the critiques presented here are entirely meaningless.
It seems clear to me that if an issue is raised with the way a topic is treated in a game, we owe it to ourselves to take it seriously, so that we will be taken seriously in turn. The gaming community as a whole will benefit from this sort of reasonable response to criticism and social thinking. Let's not sit around taking cheap shots at feminists and making fat jokes. Whatever your personal opinions, there is an issue here. Let's discuss it like rational human beings.
