Zero again, now this really is getting interesting.

WRONG.

Of course this man, The Duke, is a merchant,

What's wrong with trying to get people to lose weight?

Guess what? No matter how evil the fat man is, there is nearly always someone bigger, meaner, and most definitely leaner than him. Because most of the negative traits that fatness embody kinda prevent the raw determination to be the master of evil?

Most of the negative traits that fatness blesses a person with also prevents them from being action heroes. Having them run around and jump would be an unrealistic representation of fat people + ableistic.

He's pissed off at Wario? Mario's a bit of a chubster too, and he's a fucking hero.

"noooooooo don't make the most likeable character in your game morbidly obese nooooooooo"

This game honestly made being a big fatso look cooler and more acceptable than any piece of propaganda put out by the "fat acceptance movement" has, which I suspect is the real motivation behind this article.

Fat people should be ashamed of themselves.

 

[Marissa Moira]

They're just mad that people like The Duke but hated all those fat fugly women characters they tried to introduce.

The Duke is charismatic while being extremely grotesque. He gets by solely on his personality and wit.

I doubt it goes that deep. The article was published months before the game came out. Articles like this that get published after a trailer tend to be two things.

1. Joker style marketing
2. Some glorified blogger unintentionally doing Joker style marketing

EA was trying to do this with Dante's Inferno by hiring protestors. There's also the Dead Space 2 ads about moms hating the game.

First they complain no fat representation

Now fat representation is fat shaming

These people are never happy and should be ignored, but then they'd probably eat the entire buffet.

I'm worried these silverfish are going to go after my boi Nurgle someday and the powers that be will listen. Fat and disgusting but maximum CHA.

Personally I pity the fact he thinks this is a relavent contribution to the world.
