Saddest Thing Ever

Fully one year later now, there are gamerz still obsessed with my Fat Princess post.

In case you don't want to bother wading through the muck (and multiple repostings of this classic) for the gems over there, here are my personal favorites:

"You're fat! Nobody wants you, fattie!"

"Fat people are so defensive. Go eat some cake and cry."

"i know people these days are such pussies the get but hurt over anything"

"SHE IS FAT UGLY SON OF A FUCKING WHORE BITCH WHO SUCK WEINERS ATTACHED TO WEINER DOGS THINKING ITS A FUCKING HOT DOG!!! she is a fucking loser"

Yeah, fat people—why are you so defensive?! Go eat some cake and cry, because nobody wants you! LOL.

And while I do, truly, appreciate the irony of being called a loser by someone who misspells "wiener," my favorite of them all really is: "You're fat!"

I know! Well done pointing out the obvious! By the way! That is not an insult! It is merely a fact! I am also brunette! And blue-eyed! And specs-wearing! For the record!

But I digress!

The original "Fat Princess" post is probably my most linked post of all time. It's been linked from here to Hyrule and back again in dozens and dozens of gaming communities, and each associated discussion that I've read is littered with the most vitriolic fat hatred and misogyny imaginable.

Which, literally, couldn't have more proved my point that the game plays to and on entrenched stereotypes.

Thanks for the assist, dipshits!
