Carry your lardarse lady to safety! PlayStation launches "Fat Princess" game

I highly enjoy the woman's response. Hilarious and well put

"Splendiferous retrofuck jackholery" is my new favorite phrase.

I'll buy it and play it, just to make you angry.

I'd never even heard of it before this, sounds like fun.

Anyone who says "fattism" and is being serious needs to be offended.

People are too sensitive.

"Splendiferous retrofuck jackholery"

Well put!! However, yays to Sony from all of us big bottomed girls!! LOL

Maybe she should read the description of the game again? I think she missed the part where it said "comic" which I usually translate into "get over your offend-o-tronic self".

Some people must have way too much time on their hands. So, ummm, in the game are you trying to rescue the husky princess out of true love or for money or what?

oh come on!

The diversity of women is underrepresented in video games, because most video games are aimed at young men. As long as that's the top buying demographic, you're going to see female body types like Laura Croft.

How many balding, overweight, realistic looking men do you see featured in Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Seventeen?

The game looks fun.

I think it's cute and funny. And the girl in this photo has a really nice ass!

Yes, NICE ass photo you found! Anyway, this game sounds silly but if it is as badass as it claims, I'll totally try it. Thought let me say, as a woman I have no problem with the hot video game babes out there!

This is outstanding! Now, if they can find a way to add a secret hidden level "Brawling Fat Princesses of the WNBA", they'd have something!

I find this more of a slap in the face to female gamers looking for better representation in the gaming field. "You're all fat princesses" doesn't seem to be the best thing to say to a group who's are making up a larger and larger portion of both the video game consumer and population. I mean, if this is the new future of bad video games, I can think of a ton of cheap story lines that can easily be implicated into a similar gaming system. Video game producers, call me! We can make a killing on bad video games that someone will buy!

On a more serious note, being a female gamer, I really am not bothered by the representation out there. Kick ass chicks that can look good while taking names is fine with me. I mean, do you really think males have a good representation in video games? All of them heroic bad asses with sexy voices and even sexier bodies? Let dreamers dream and gamers game for goodness sake!

my boys will be playing this and they'll get a general idea of what quality mating material is supposed to look like when they get older . fun , and educational . 2 thumbs up .

Quite a unique idea for a game! It's not like Sony created another barely dressed, big bosomed, latex-clad, martial arts expert adventurer who kills baddies with one obscenely wide scissor kick.

thats hilarious... im getting it... so if u little girls are too sensitive ..... to bad.... get some danglers

Video games are fantasies, they allow us to be someone else, or do something else that we don't do in our normal life (usually for legal reasons). So why should the males or females in video games look like average people?

As wrong as it may be it's just flat out funny. This is one of those "careful what you ask for things".

1. Great photo, I would, as the say, mos def, tap that.

2. I'd not heard of this before but i think it looks like a lot of fun. I fail to see how on any count it is offensive. The little men still want to rescue her despite her lard-arseness...

While I'm at it, Being represented in videogames:
I am not a Blue Hedeghog. I'm not a big black ex football player guy from Gears of War. (i'm not the big white guy either, but everyone loves the Cole train baby)
I've never played a game with a character that i couldn't create that was anything like me.

It is not vital to the experience.

I'm not an ex people smuggler from serbia in new york, but i know a guy who is...and i like him.

Freedom of speach=freedom to offend sometiems. Lol.

SOunds like great fun though.

this is the blog that angry woman is from i think.

"responding to female gamers' calls for more and better representation of women"

*chuckle*
cheeky buggers. and splendiferous retrofuck jackholery" is just gold.

proof that old cliches will always sell though...

Sexism alive and well. This is disgusting.

I'm surprised to not be completely disgusted by this. At least someone's TRYING to have diversity in women's body types, rather than every girl in video games being boobalicious with a tiny, tiny waist.

Although, I'm not too impressed that they're just hitting on the OTHER extreme...but hey. Can't be picky, now can I.

Heh, boobalicious.

Zelda and samus kick arse without being overly sexafied. Well, Zeldas kind of a princess peach, and Samus does more ass kicking.

Then there's the girls in the resident evil series. . . Claire. . . that other girl from code veronica the sister in the ice climbers series. yup.
