PS3 News \ Feminists unhappy with Fat Princess

Fat Princess has gotten a lot of attention when the game debuted at E3. The startlingly violent PSN multiplayer game got accolades from gamers and critics alike for the unique premise and the appealing gameplay. But not everyone is happy with Fat Princess.

Shakesville has told that the title futhers inappropriate gender stereotypes
and continues the culture of ridicule that many overweight individuals must suffer through, Shakesville citizen tells

Congratz on your awesome new game, Sony. I'm positively thrilled to see such unyielding dedication to creating a new generation of fat-hating, heteronormative ***-*****. Its not often i have the opportunity to congratulate a cutting-edge tech company on such splendiferous retro-**** ****-*****. Way to go! The Fat Princess of Shakes Manor salutes you



Feminist's Gamers has a suggestion:
They want the game to avoid making princess become fat with cake. Instead, there are other non-'cute' ways of going about this, in terms of gameplay:

So how bout layering Karamari-Style, a bunch of random **** on top of the chest, like shrubbery, rocks, bison, etc, that would also weight it down. That could be cute, and silly, and not reinforce nasty stereotypes about women and obese

Harmless bit of fun in my opinion. Maybe developers could offer the selection of either a fat princess or prince, just to take the heat off. Then it cannot be claimed that they are perpetuating a gender stereotype. Though I never knew "fat" to be a gender stereotype particular to females. That aspect of their argument makes no sense to me. Men are fat too you know, maybe more abundantly so lol

Thats correct, they vibrate the water molecules in the product, thus cooking from the inside out rather then normal ovens which use a process of heat transfer cooking from the outside in.

When you eat your microwaved food, those water molecules are still vibrating (caused by an un-natural source).

An experiment was done once. Using 2 sets of plants. Each day the plants would recieve water which was heated up then cooled down. 1 group had its water boiled on a cooktop, then cooled. While the other group had its water microwaved then cooled. All the microwave water plants had stunted growth if not death. There were actually many experiments like this, use google.

3 thing's 1st wot is "ch" !!!!! 2ed i did not say the earth i sed on earth and non-manmade thing (natral) can be a hell of a lot worse than man made to the body but i'm not going into that cos is a never ending list for and agenst. and last but not least thats the 2ed time you've had a go at microwaves (with regards to food) do you know the 1st thing about microwaves well from wot you sed i gess not (blu3man said: like microwaves which radiate our food in a most unatural way) well let me tell you microwaves cook food by making warter moliculs vibrate (resnate if you will) and by doing this the warter moliculs heat up and in tern cook the food around them (an normal oven cook much the same way buy heating elments that heat the food but mostly the warter in the food) so it dos not radiate our food thats just dum!! and one last thing that i've just seen

blu3man said: The idea of a Democracy is everyone has a right of self expression

well no cos if you are or have been a crack addick and now need a transplant gess wot cos you do/did crack there a good shot you will not get one (but crack cud be seen as a form of expression) all be it a F***ing dum one but still becose the sad fact is if you've ever used anything and been found out and got it on file (even 50 years ago) and you need a new liver or kiddny ect it will still stop you or a lest slow down the prosses time you may not have

Eating disorders are generally not classified as a mental illness as they are a behavioral/cognitive issue. Same as people who get very stressed, very angry or very depressed.

The disorder itself is curable for all the people who seek help.

But its a lifestyle choice. -

Jard said:
And yes they do harm us, they stretch the hospitals to the limits with the diseases they gain from their poor lifestyle choices as well as pushing up health insurance costs for all of us healthy folk in the process.



Wait your a "healthy folk"? What makes you healthy?

Firstly let me ask you if you smoke(In australia, one of the biggest killers, so much money is spent on anti smoking ads, and smoking medical research)?
Next, do you drink coke or other soft drinks (soft drinks ruin your teeth thus increase dental demand, they also)?
Next, do you eat fast foods or even ch?
Next, do you microwave your food? (this is so bad for you)
Next, do you drink alcohol (Disturbs not only your health but social health aswell) ?
Do you spend excessive amounts of time in the sun each day? (CANCER)
Do you do any illegal drugs?
Do you excersize at least 3 times per week.

Do you see where this is going???? The idea of a democracy is everyone has a right of self expression. And if fat people want to eat cake, let it be. Hate and non-acceptance is what brought around some of the w

Thank you for your respectful reply. Yes I did consider it but considering genetic disorders causing obesity are very rare I didn't think it was necessary to include it in my post.

To make my post somewhat on topic, I can't wait for this game, voice chat will be hilarious. Also I'm sorry to point this out to everyone, but the fat bitch that everyone is giving it to got exactly what she wanted, a huge reaction.

This was one of the best reads of the day. It made me smile for the first time today... and made me want to buy fat princess and play it in a manner to braodcast my love of video games to all of society....

notice how its my love of "video games" though. And not my love of "making fun of fat people" or "stereotyping obese women"

So how bout layering Karamari-Style, a bunch of random **** on top of the chest


- A game which aims at placing items on womens chest doesnt seem to feminest freindly to me.

like shrubbery, rocks, [n]bison, etc, that would also weight it down.



- BISON? please note: feminists may encourage beastiality.... Which in turn, may end up being un-feministic.

...cute...silly... not reinforce nasty stereotypes about women and obese


- No we are just encouraging everyone to use breasts as a tabletop and trying to encourage female - animal sexual relations.
