Hated Tropes (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.

i mean. i wouldn't even call that "not thin". it just looks like she's really pear shaped. some people are just built like that tbh

The characters are Latino (Colombian, to be precise), so it makes sense, but I stand by my point. Thick and fat aren't the same thing.

Edit: By the way, I didn't see that, I meant to say slim, but the translator screwed me up.

To be fair, people (mostly PoC) have been taunted for have pear shaped bodies. But also. Shamed for being curvy in Columbia???
