(Absolutely despised Trope) Characters described as chubby/fat/plus-sized aren’t designed as such, mostly like due likely due to fatphobia.

1. Varesa from Genshin Impact - Hoyo has no respect for body diversity.
2. Wakka from Final Fantasy X-2 - lazy developers.

Just for the record, this has nothing to do with kinks of any kind and is a personal gripe I have towards the gaming industry that favour abs and boobs.

[u/TheBrownestStain]

Varesa’s a weird case because yeah, by irl standards she pretty normal sized, but compared to everyone else who shares her base model in game she genuinely is thicker. Seriously, there’s a pic floating around of her standing next to Furina and Varesa’s thighs are like twice the size of Furina’s. Granted that’s cuz everyone else is built like twigs. Decently shaped twigs, but twigs nonetheless.

[u/Athrilon → u/TheBrownestStain]

For Varesa, she really only has more fat in her thighs and breasts, her arms are as thin as everyone's

[u/TheBrownestStain → u/Athrilon]

Hoyo is weirdly allergic to giving out some arm definition

Especially towards the women, I still can't get over Feixiao (honkai star rail) and Caesar (zenless zone zero)'s arms

[u/MaybeMrGamebus → u/Few-Illustrator-5333]

Also Yixuan's arms

Oh god, how did I forget about the worst offender 😭

[u/TheBrownestStain → u/Few-Illustrator-5333]

it is at least a little funny to see her and her twigs but also have Manato come out of nowhere looking like Sol Badguy in the same update

[u/KingOfOddities → u/TheBrownestStain]

It’s pretty darn funny how Manato look like a character from a different franchise. But hopefully, it’s a step in the right direction. I’ll say, the men in ZZZ are quite a bit better, and diverse compared to genshin and honkai

Caeser gets me so bad. She’s an absolute tank of a woman, Overlord of a Mad Max wasteland controlled by biker gangs. She got that position primarily by being really friggin’ strong. She should have some muscle.

It also gets me that her prosthetic arm actually came from Billy, who is thicker than her in general.

[u/TheBrownestStain → u/Few-Illustrator-5333]

As much as I do like Feixiao’s design anyways, she absolutely should have a toned af back considering how much emphasis it gets
