I just stumbled over an article about all this conflict on yahoo by chance. There are some fun OPINIONS here and I am bored so I want to play. Frankly it is just a game and if you don't agree with it don't support it. As a gamer I do not feel compelled to buy the game because it seems boring. Food for thought though I think we should see how people would react if it was "Fat Prince". Yes women are naturally more sensitive than men and tend to be offended easily. Its years of oppression built up and exploding finally. Keep in mind though that the most dangerous thing to be is a straight, white, male right now. Say one wrong thing and your ass is sued. Maybe I hang out with more guys than a girl should but I sympathize. I am also a bit over weight but I control it the best I can. The one thing I don't do is mope around and bitch about it. It doesn't cause me to lose weight if I do so and makes me a miserable person to be around. I accentuated my personality and a few of my more pleasant physical features and it all balances out. Love the skin you are in and people will love it too. Everyone is beautiful in their own right, they just need to balance out everything. Having a sense of humor helps a lot too. People had problems with Lara Croft and now this. No one image of a woman will ever make anyone happy because there is no real one perfect depiction of one, or of a man for that matter. This is a media and there is freedom of expression in that. It never had to be a person at all, it could have been anything that got bigger in the game, but that is the subject they chose. Who are we to tell them they cant express themselves in this manner. Isn't that what we are all doing right now in this forum? Things that offend people are fun. Until I see someone committing suicide over this, I am gonna chalk it up as not that big of a deal. Although that which does not kill us makes us stronger... meh, I killed my boredom. I'm done for now unless someone needs to question my opinions and wants to discuss them in a non pissing contest manner. Peace!
