For some, Wii Fit’s legacy is body shame - Years later, many reflect on how Wii Fit impacted their body image - Wii lol Fat

i remember playing wii fit, that game was pretty nice. weird someone would write a hate article on it tho.

if anyone thinks wii fit was bodyshaming... they need to reevaluate themselves and the game.

There's nothing wrong with a little body shaming, and the author is fat.

God if only Shigeru Miyamoto popped up with a "Lose weight fatty" like Toasty from Mortal Kombat. Would completely de-pozz the whole Nintendo fanbase.

That's a lotta suicides. I can't say I'm saddened with that outcome.

Exercise game exists, fat slothful women most affected.

How sensitive are you to be triggered over an exercise game? A Nintendo game of all things.

You have no fucking idea how badly the NES Power Pad hurt people's feet and knees in an attempt to beat the final runner in the marathon.

Dance Dance Revolution > Wii Fit

Pump It Up! > DDR
The hardest board in DDR isn't even a mid-difficulty board in PIU.

You will sweat literal buckets using PIU as an exercise routine.

a decade old exercise program and somehow women are affected.

A kids toy calls you fat.
What do you do?
-Show it that it's wrong and do something about it.
>Cry about it on twitter 14 years later and still be fat

Funny that they're talking about some random game from a decade ago instead of the currently-available and apparently very profitable fitness game available from the same company. Wouldn't want to jeopardize what little respect you have from the industry to talk up some hamburglars on Twitter, eh?

Fat people triggered by a game telling them they are fat.

If you have enough muscle mass to make the BMI inaccurate, you likely understand fitness. Attacking the BMI is a cope for you 5'6" 250lb potato body.

 

[Lunete]

During this segment, the game asks you for personal information like height and age, weighs you, and gives you a small balance test meant to assess your starting point. Once all that is done, Wii Fit displays your body mass index (BMI), a flawed measurement that uses your height-to-weight ratio to classify people as obese, overweight, ideal, or underweight. Then the game crunches all the numbers and calculates a “Wii Fit Age,” which is a single number meant to quantify your fitness level. Each person starting out the game got assigned a Wii Fit Age

Who knew that a game about excersize and fitness would ask you questions about your physical fitness.

Just stop being fat.

No wonder the Child's Play remake failed, it didn't resonate any of the fears of it's audience. Chucky didn't need to kill anyone, he just needed to insult them.

"a new type of horror, it has no trigger warnings and it's just a dude on the internet calling you names all the time and does not respect your pronounce. I've never been so shaken and upset. Move aside Silent Hill and resident evil, we got a new grandmaster."

 

[Coffee Shits]

Watching someone's Mii balloon up in embarrassment after the initial weigh-in was the funniest part of that game.

M-runs aren't as fun as crossovers.

Remember how the left used to body shame women constantly in the 2000s for being too skinny?

Now it's ok to be as fat as you want to be.

 

[X Pac Heat]

My friends made fun of me cause Wii Fit said I was super obese back in the day. I just laughed at the retards because I was literally the best built guy in the room.

Maybe these fat asses should have done the same oh wait

 

[Miller]

Remember when us regular gamers were getting stuffed into lockers? God knows what the jocks would have done to the new pussified generation.

Those who are complaining about vidya are the people who would bully other kids in hope to be invited to the jocks/cool kids table.

It's true that BMI doesn't account for wider bodies. If I were ever "normal weight" by BMI standards I'd be Mr. Skeleton.

But if you can't laugh off your Mii being a fatass that says more about you than the game. I personally thought it was a great little gimmick because it helped teach me basic Yoga which is something everyone really should do.
