Thirdly, look at all the crap the feminists are getting. Okay, good, now imagine what reactions would be if it were a community of fat people getting all worked up about it. Well, all right, I'll accept that feminists aren't always taken very seriously at all, but if it were fat people who were objecting to this so loudly? My money is on the internet as a whole saying "LOL lose weight and get a sense of humour, fatty." That's not a good thing.

Finally, I think this game looks adorable. I'll look into it more after the release, but I'd consider buying it. Would I rather have a katamari princess with a scullery maid stuck to her? Yes, actually because that's even funnier than a fat person. I'm glad the flaws were pointed out and brought to my attention, but I think that making the princess too fat to kidnap is actually somewhat cute, and is actually kind of a clever solution to the classic video game scenario.
Natural instinct actually IS to eat as much as possible because in the Wild food, shelter, and water is all you can worry about really (and food isn't ridiculously easy to obtain). My main problem with this whole thing is, what if it was called "Fat Prince"? Stereotypes are shown in nearly all entertainment, if you can't deal with it, you really can't deal with anything. In a certain Disney Channel show the smart nerdy girl is also Asian, but who cares? In a different show (some old 80s show) the stupid airhead moron, is a white, muscular, surfer-esc looking dude. Stereotypes are a fact of life and people need to learn to live with them.
