    The worst part about this, is that its dove. Dove can provide body positivity by making products that are aware of different race's hair types and diffrent genetic things that could make your body sensitive to certain chemicals etc. But not with gaming (something that a big corporation knows nothing about). Same with coca cola. Why did coke make an ad where they were using the power of coke to reunite gaming? They're a fucking drink. Plenty of games provide a lot of customization in their games, so leave to the games, not a fucking soap company.

If they were big boned they'd be like Eddie hall, look him up for reference, which they aren't making them the same as everyone else aside from their uncontrolled eating and lack of exercise.

    *I'm fat . A fat woman.* I've been fat my whole life despite my attempts to change that. I've also been playing games since forever and I grew up loving Lara Croft. Badass beautiful woman, hell yes - adventurous, strong, confident and sassy. When I play a game I want to be someone cool, doing things I can't achieve in real life. Climbing towers as Altair and Ezio because I'll never learn parkour. Exploring ruins like Lara and Drake because I'll never be able to afford an adventurous trip. I wanna be pretty and cool, not fat and insecure. The only fat women I see in games are NPCs. Farmers, chefs... idk and idc. I'm already an NPC in real life. I don't wanna feel like one when I'm playing too.
    *Edit* : yes, guys, believe it or not, I have tried to lose weight many times. But there are many factors that turn that task into something that requires a lot of energy and money. So, TMI time. First off: if you've seen Deadly Pounds and think I eat like those unfortunate souls, you're mistaken. I actually barely eat, however, *the way* I do it is what has been screwing me over - I don't eat every 3 hours to keep the stomach at ease. Sometimes I'll forget to eat because I'm hyperfocused and starve myself for 8, 11 hours without realizing. So, naturaly, next time I eat something, my body stores every single calorie. Second: I don't live in the USA. Going to gym isn't cheap, affording healthy food isn't cheap. Sometimes I can afford something healthy, but not enough variation. Go on, eat a single apple for dinner every single day for three months. I guarantee you'll never want to look at apples ever again. Third; the most weight I've gained happened after highschool, where I fell into cripppling depression and chronic anxiety. I'm currently taking 6 (six!) different meds just to be alive. My metabolism is screwed. My intestines barely do their job and my liver isn't getting any healthier. *So, NO, I can't just "ummm lose weight" *. I have been trying. Now, thank you everyone who has given me kind words, but for the rest, kindly stop refering to my huge fatass. Me being a landwhale would not affect my view. I stand by what I said.
    *Edit 2* : lol, folks, please, you don't need to fight each other over some fat person on the internet. Just take my initial view for what it is: I play games for the escapism, always have, always will. I started playing when I was like, 6 years old, and back then I was playing Contra II and I wanted to be a shredded guy with huge guns because it looks fun. Today I play Stardew Valley and wish I was living the farm life. It's not that deep. *However* , losing weight is not easy. Anyone saying that is believing a huge hairy lie - otherwise, why would obesity affect such a huge portion of society? Obesity is a complicated issue, me wanting to play badass characters is not; C'mon, stop thinking about my jiggling belly and fat rolls already lmao.

      one of the lore of Sword Art Online is the game actually made your in-game avatar looked like the player physique and appearance after being "hacked". And their starting stats are tied to their real life body. So, when the player is a fat dude, they are basically the first ones to die because how could a overweight guy holding a 3 minutes fight when they are out of breath after 3 sword swings.

    I started cracking up at the second Dove commercial! When she rakes off the slimming armor to reveal that she is a bigger girl, why not just give her armor that fits? Then they didn't even make the character the same size as the person that they based it on! They got rid of the slight double chin this moved out her fupa and they gave her slightly thicker thighs😂😂😂

I’m embodying the character that they created. That’s how I see it even in games or I can make a character I tend to place a female character just because I prefer the way it looks.

      Even in games like Mass Effect I made my Sheppard a black woman because it's what I like.

I grew up with female orientated flash games like dress up and cooking games. It made me more aware of my looks and how un- white I look. It definitely played a role onto my own self hatred. Mei does seem to be more of a mainland Chinese representation like how some black characters are more African than African American. Even when other games show Asian females they are usually sexualized. Which did not help because it is an often and constant a reminder that the game was not made for people like me in mind. Splatoon has been the best game when it came to representation because the player character shares features like mono lids and a flat face that bigger customizable character games usually take more effort to get right like Skyrim and sims. (And that female characters are less sexualized)
      I don’t mind playing as a male or even non human. I’ve been doing that all my life.

    I’m fat and a pretty ugly person. I do think it’s important that if it’s a customizable character then you should have diverse options like different hair textures and skin colors! I wouldn’t get all pissed if I played a main character that didn’t look like me in the same way I wouldn’t be overjoyed if they did. It’s all about the characters themselves imo

    "I need external validations to feel the baseline-positivity about my own body because I never learned to appreciate myself without help. I want to keep my toxic mindset and since my insecure self-image is purely caused by yall be responsive and make me into a video character. It's my turn on the spotlight not because I earned it but because it's my turn"

    If not being able to look like a video game character is hurting your self-esteem this much, there's probably something wrong with you mentally, it's fiction for crying out loud.

    A book series that I very much enjoyed that somewhat tackles the body type thing a bit (not overtly, it just does it naturally through the story) is the Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks. One of the protagonists, Kip, starts out as a bit of a fatty. Literally, Kip calls himself that, other characters call him it... And you know what? He is. And he ends up being incredibly powerful by the end.
    But *not* a fatty. Through his adventures, he's forced to train, exercise, and grow stronger. He struggles at first. His unhealthy life shows, and he gets beat bad numerous times, and only through the sheer power of Main Character Mcguffin Syndrome does he even survive. But his "natural talent in magic" or whatever only serves him well early on. He learns, he grows, and in time, he accepts himself as he was, and how he *can be.* He works to better himself, and it shows. He grows up. He doesn't whine like he used to, he doesn't get winded just going up and down some stairs, he doesn't constantly eat... His health improved physically as it did mentally, all because he had one very crucial thing introduced into his life. Discipline.
    The story features a chubby boy that's scoffed at for his heritage and skintone, sneered at and jeered and all the other things, but he overcomes them not by suddenly having people be inclusive, but by growing up. People stopped dogpiling on irrelevant things to hate him for when he showed his dedication and growth, and I think it was a great journey.

    i’m super into body positivity, everyone deserves to be happy, but only being able to relate to a character based off of looks is kinda weird… you should be able to relate through personality, hopes and emotions… idk kinda weird for me

      Thats a weird way of saying you contribute to thousands of unecessary deaths due to obesity and its complications. Actual body positivity is telling those fat fucks to go and touch grass for 3 hours a day and stop eating mcdonalds
