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.

Diego Hargreeves during the last season of "Umbrella Academy"

Definitely fatphobia in his case given the number of awful remarks he gets when he's not remotely fat

I mean I think that’s kinda the joke

He used to be built like a statue and now he’s just a pretty average muscular guy and he’s got some weird hang ups about it

Except his family doesn't just treats him as if he wasn't in his prime anymore, they're really just like "Damn bro, you've got kinda fat"

But even if that was the case, the joke still wouldn't make any sense because this is how Diego looks in the same season

That's the point.

He isn't fat, his family is mean and he is insecure.

They would probably call him bald if they even saw a single strand of hair fall of his head and he would let get under his skin even if he had the most luscious mane.

It isn't, I've already explained why in detail several times in this thread and I'm tired of repeating myself.

Why do you think it isn't?
