Here's a part that really bewilders me. Say you don't have an ounce of fat on your body, but your hips are still naturally bigger than 34" because of your bone structure. How is this somehow undesirable? I mean, wtf, its not enough that you have absolutely no fat content on your body?

@xunker: I can see where you're coming from. On one hand, to be seen as a sexual human being despite the handicap can be humanizing...on the other hand, if it goes to a "fetish" level, it becomes another case of someone sexualizing an aspect of a person they have no control over, and disregarding who they are as a…

@WhiteMåge is in fact a boy, damnit: Oh, but I do agree with it. I do believe that some people have hero complexes that could be relevant to their interest in disabled persons. I just don't personally believe that *all* people who would play this game are that way. I brought up the issue because the author didn't, and…

@WhiteMåge is in fact a boy, damnit: Purposefully enticing flames? You're the one who just called me a jackass.

@Erwin: Nah, I find that using all encompassing stereotypes shortchanges yourself almost more than it does the people/person you're stereotyping. I know there are men out there who are more concerned with who their partner is on the inside more than their outside appearance, and if this game touches on that, more…

@Erwin: Oh, I know. I'm just spicing things up a bit with a different perspective. I think a romance game that centers around finding love out of a fascination with the strength of character one has built through their experience as a disabled person is a lovely idea. Its just one that's almost too good to be true.

"Perhaps in these fictional girls facing painful challenges, the legion of Anonymous users sees people with genuine disability. They see real setbacks more serious than the simple social aversion that keeps them hiding behind crude image-board humor. Perhaps they experience emotional and sexual desire for these…

Its amazing how sometimes being so dressed down can still come off as so over processed and FAKE. That being said, I do like this look on her a lot better than her usual stuffy self.

I love that he didn't let that slip by him. Some would have let that go.

@maraxusofk: We didn't say it was scandalous, we said it was rude. Sizing up your looks (fashion or otherwise) against your own daughter doesn't sound like you're much invested into building her self esteem, as parents are supposed to do.

@Adhominem: Because eating can become an addiction, like anything else. Because eating can set off those "feel good" receptors in our brain and it can be difficult to stop.

@xLordOblivionx: Truth. Between the jumping around and the speed factor, its been a better workout than the half hour on elliptical I do four to five times a week. I haven't played DDR in months but I bet if I went on there and did some old routines, my thighs and ass would get fatigued much quicker than when I played…

@Friedhamster: Plus, its kind of offensive in that an older women can only be considered hot if she in some way rivals the looks of a younger woman. Can't she just be hot, period?

@belsunce: I think the biggest aspect to take away from this is that she felt too much shame to go outdoors. I for one started my weight loss program indoors as well for that very reason. I started by doing really difficult DDR and when I finally felt confident enough to go outdoors, I did. I didn't lose a ton of…

@Mister Jack Leaves No One Behind!: Ha, word.

@Understater: It doesn't have to be expressed condescendingly to be condescending. When women are struggling to be praised for talents over looks, dragging the topic back to looks when its their moment to shine for their talents, is disrespectful. If society didn't equate a sexy woman with a stupid one, perhaps this…

@nagumi: lol.

Falling over ourselves? Bitch, please.

@VirtuousVixen: The difference is, your attitude is contributing to a culture that bases a person's value on their appearance. Mine is taking you to task for being a lousy human being. There may have been a time when I thought it was my business to wonder why an obese person doesn't just get off their ass, but by now…

@spamanda: I always have to laugh at the commercials on G4. Its not specifically a "men's channel" but with the content, it might as well be. If it were solely video games, as they claim, I'm sure there wouldn't be shows like "Boobs Around The World" and coverage of the Adult Entertainment Expo instead of the…
