She's plump, powerful and ready to cause more controversy than "SuperSize Me."
She's Fat Princess, the star of Sony's upcoming video game of the same name. Debuting at last week's E3 expo, the colorful Fat Princess is a capture-the-flag game with a twist: you can thwart capture attempts by locking the once-thin princess in a dungeon and stuffing her full of cake, thereby increasing her girth and making her harder for your enemies to haul back to home base.
According to popular gaming blog Joystiq, two feminist gaming sites have already voiced their displeasure with the weighty issue.
Feminist Gamer's "Mighty Ponygirl" rings in diplomatically, suggesting a new way to play the game altogether.
"Instead of running out into the forest to find cake to fatten up the princess with, why not go out and find gold (which is a lot heavier than cake) to stuff into a treasure chest. The more gold in the chest, the heavier it would be, and the harder it would be to carry," she said, before adding, "Oh, but that's not as "cute" as cake and fat chicks. Right."
Over at Shakesville, however, writer Melissa McEwan cuts to the chase, telling Sony she's "positively thrilled to see such unyielding dedication to creating a new generation of fat-hating, heteronormative ---holes."

Yeah, I understand - people these days know better than God. I see it all the time.
Tell me, how can someone write, in detail, about an event that was to occur hundreds or thousands of years from the time of the writing? Perhaps it wasn’t “written by a man”?
(Both the dating of the writing and the event written about are historically verified with more supporting evidence than most other “historical facts” that people accept, so don’t go there.)
Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22 are just some examples.
By the way - how is society “progressing” since you folks figured out you’re smarter than God?
I see most of the negative social indicators increasing exponentially since around 1963...
Au contraire, Biker Chick. (BTW, you got a kick-ass name!) 'Wimmin' are not evil. (I happen to hold a deep and fond regard for them myself... with one, ahem, in particular (are your reading this, honey?).
It is 'wimmin' who hate what God has created them to be (and which men need in order to be complete according to His plan)- and thus who hate God- who are evil. And sadly also, their rebellion makes them supremely ugly to the core.
Giving David Beckham a run for his money????? Actually it is a refreshing change to see a real man pose, instead of the usual parade of fake booby-half-naked, white and asian-skinny starlets that are usually posted. I am so sick of seeing, the anime-looking-plastic surgery altered models. A shout-out for me and the women of America who have arses like Jennifer Lopez, and do not look like a surfboard front and back./Just Asking - seoul62.......
Mmmmmm...David Beckham!! As long as he keeps his mouth shut, anyway.
I’m not a fan of the beer belly on a man. Yet these seem to be the VERY same men who yell the loudest about their distaste for “normal sized” (read: size 10, size 12, size 16 vs. size 2) women. And it seems that around here, so many threads end up with pics of either Helen Thomas or some Penthouse Pet in them.
“I’m not a fan of the beer belly on a man”
Sigh. I meant, I’m not a big fan of a big beer belly on a man - as in a huge sloppy beer gut. A regular belly on a man is fine within reason. Just wanted to make myself clear here. ;)
Two other notable cuties: Don Draper/Mad Men and the Actor who portrays the lead in the series: Burn Notice - very, very nice. I see beauty in every man: from the beer belly’s of the Larry-Cable Guy Types to the Ultimate Metro-Sexual - David Beckham, as long as their personality is engaging, that is instant charmer for me./Just Asking - seoul62......
hubba hubba about both of them. Veddy nice!
Your welcome. Yes their poses could compete with the usual parade of fake booby-bikini babes that are usually paraded on this forum./Just Asking - seoul62.......
Really?
I never said I was smarter than God, just I can see through the smoke and mirrors of those who say they speak for him, that’s all.
As for things getting worse, why wow....
As those who were told to sit on the back of the bus which decade they’d rather live in.
Me? These are far far better days than anything pre-1960 for most of us ‘lower’ beings ;)
Yep, there’s no way we can return to Biblical morality without putting blacks in the back of the bus.
I’m glad that the illegitimacy rate, the STD rate, the teen pregnancy rate, the plummet in SAT scores, the divorce rate, the teen suicide rate, the crime rate, all exponentially “progressing” toward the worse,
are “far better days” for you.
Yep, far better than listening to those “patriarchal” oppressive guides to good life listed in God’s word.
Noticed this after my post, along with the fact you didn't address the supernatural prophetical evidence of Biblical texts.
No one is "speaking for" God - He speaks for Himself.
Feminists cry foul if they wake up in the morning!.....
That’s what you believe, I happen to believe and see things differently. There was a very ugly, dark, cruel side to it also.
Those wonderful days you pine for were hell for others.
I don’t want the life my mother or my grandmother’s had...I wouldn’t wish it on my worse enemy. Heck, they worked like hell to get out of it.
Your posts make my point. There is nothing in your world I want to be a part of.
God speaks through others or others say they speak for God.
It’s just very telling when what they say is always to their advantage. So yeah, it’s easy to tell when it’s God and went it’s a fake.
Wouldn't want you in it, princess.
Oh, by the way, how are the statistics of negative social indicators exponentially skyrocketing
just a matter of “my opinion”?
Unless it’s just “my opinion” that illegitimacy, crime, STDs, divorce, and suicide are negative... I guess that could be a different opinion than yours.
I suspect it is a cr@p game whose publishers hoped would create controversy so they could sell more than the 10 to 20 copies it would sell without feminists hating on it. You can't buy the publicity these feminists are giving this game for free.
I am something of a computer gamer. The concept is original, and amusing, but as far as centering an entire game around it? No "there" there, I believe. I don't expect it to sell that well...
