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.

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.
 
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.

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

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.
 
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.

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

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

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.
 
WasabiKing said:
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.

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

lol, sorry :lol

You have a problem with fat chicks in games.
You have a problem with thin chicks in games.
