Monday Feminist Fuck You: Fat Princess Video Game


I know we generally reserve our “fuck you”s for Fridays, but this one can’t wait till the end of the week. (Especially since I’m already coming late to this one!)
From Mighty Ponygirl at Feminist Gamers:

A new game about to be released for the PSN called Fat Princess is a TF2-like capture-the-flag game where the point is to feed your princess enough cake so that she grows really fat so that the opposing team can’t carry her back to their castle.
…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.
Oh, but that’s not as “cute” as cake and fat chicks. Right.

Fuck you, “Fat Princess.” And fuck you, Sony for putting out this garbage and perpetuating fat-hating. Seriously. Fuck. You. Sorry I can’t be more articulate on this one, I’m just too pissed.
Holly and Melissa (who had a awful but oh-so-telling influx of trolls) has more.
