Games that are made of lose
You have got to be kidding me.
Frantic and fun, Fat Princess pits two hordes of players against each other in comic medieval battle royale. Your goal is to rescue your beloved princess from the enemy dungeon. There’s a catch though: your adversary has been stuffing her with food to fatten her up and it’s going to take most of your army working together to carry her back across the battlefield.
Hopefully not appearing soon on any PS3 near me.

Oh gross. As if video games didn't already say enough damaging things about female body image.
I saw this game covered during the live E3 promo on the G4 network.
I just wonder if this isn't a "lost in translation" kind of deal here. I understand the parent developer is Darkstar industries out of Colorado, USA the actual designers are from all over including Japan.
Well, at least the fat princess is cute? I mean, she's not a sweaty, disgusting, hairy mess like most fat people are portrayed. She's in a pretty little dress and has a cute expression. And they don't really seem to be saying anything negative about fat except that she would be harder to carry, which is true...I don't know though!
...and because she's eaten so much she has to rely on half a dozen males to do all the work while she sits there in her pretty little dress with the cute expression on her face.
x364173: You're looking too hard. She's controlling all those males.
x364173: You're right, I guess I was just excited to finally see a fat female NOT portrayed as a hideous monster, but you're right.
