I read more closely some of your replies...

I think, generally, we would agree on most things.  HOWEVER...

The thing is... when a minority is so overwhelmingly opressed in such automatic ways... don't you think you have to give a little ground?  Don't you think it's reasonable to think a womone might be offended and angry by a game like this and lash out considering everything that has come before?  That maybe the people who made this game should have though "okay... I wouldn't think seriously about this concept but I know that people would totally have in the recent past, and some loud minority still do"?  Or if nothing else should admit that "We didn't think about this before but we realize we should have?"

Women aren't a minority though...it's about 50/50 here....

This is the thing though...if this was a game about a fat king, nobody would give a shit.  Make it a fat princess and crazy feminists start whining.

Why?  Because there is an existing stigma of fat women being undesirable, moreso than fat men?  What is whining about it going to do?  I seriously think these kinds of people do more harm than good.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
