Quaid: "Why the fuck would I play a fantasy game where everybody looked like the fatbodied middle aged women who I can see drinking OV at the local dive?"

You wouldn't. Neither would I. That's our perspective.
The perspective of people concerned with eating disorders is different from ours.
Different people have different perspectives. Not everything is a personal attack against you and your lifestyle.
Chill out and enjoy some titty-filled video games. You've got many choices.

Quaid: "Source for where she cites those articles as the basis for her work?"

She's got a list of "Links and resources" for all her Tropes videos (excluding the first, I think) on Feminist Frequency.

Where did I say anything was a personal attack? Those are your words, based on pretty much nothing I said.

Better cater to that massive unserved gamer market that wants sensitivity toward eating disorders! Think of the tens of dollars developers are leaving on the table!

I think Radditsu made a decent point about that. They probably chose video game characters because it's a hot button topic now and they wanted to get a lot of people's attention. Judging by your reaction, it's working.

I like that bulimia campaign. It's like, "Hey, stop puking all your food up. Overeat and avoid exercise instead!"

If seeing all the real life hamplanets walking around doesn't make them think it's ok to be fat then I doubt seeing a few fat chicks in video games will do the trick. Not to mention bulimic white chicks don't play video games anyways.

LOL at calling those photoshopped girls "fat". They look like girls you'd see in the "Sexy Curvy Girls Thread". In fact, if you looked at the "afters" without the "befores", you might not even notice some of those aren't the originals. Also, LOL at 90 pound anorexic girls/hourglass playboy bunnies having the "realistic" bodies of kung fu fighters.

Uh, there's a ton of fat girls in the Sexy Curvy thread. That said, those photoshopped gamer chicks are most definitely not the body of an active person, which all of those characters are.

Unbroken? I'm sure we've had at least a couple correct ones.

Actually, I think there might have been one a few months ago. I should have marked it down somewhere. But literally every single other assumption was wrong.

And you're right, Soy, those are the bodies of "active" girls. You can't maintain a figure like that unless you take care of your body. Having said that, they don't really have "athlete" bodies, they're more "porn star" bodies. I mean, I'm sure porn stars work out regularly to keep their shape, but they're certainly not going to pass as battle-hardened warriors.

Not that there's anything wrong with fictional fantasy characters having sexually appealing bodies, but let's not go kidding ourselves here that it's somehow "realistic". Fighting bad guys doesn't give you plump, juicy tits.

I dunno man. A lot of porn stars have that thousand yard stare down pat.

Anyways, if your goal is to have "realistic" body types of battle-hardened warriors then 99% of those bodies are going to be male bodies.

And if your goal is to try to show young women that it's OK not to have a porn star body, then you're going to try to counter the avalanche of overtly sexualized women in mass media.

Frenzo Wimblebat: "I despise these blue-hair fembot psychos with an intense passion that is unrivaled in my lifetime. I don't know what it is exactly that makes me rage, but I can only conclude that it's a combination of their sanctimonious hypocrisy combined with an utter refusal to acknowledge facts."

I don't despise anybody, but you did a good job identifying why I take issue with the anti-Sarkeesies here. It's pretty much exactly for those reasons.
