the far left dev mafia hasn't produced a SINGLE protagonist who looks like this. Not a single chubby middle-aged white woman even though they dominate normie online discourse. Why not???

Why can't this be this lead in the next Neil Druckman game? Why doesn't any character creation screen let me produce this? Sure, I can create a fat, black, blue-hair genderqueer Body Type B. But not a plain vanilla middle-aged mom for my warrior protagonist chosen to save the world.

because the people screaming for those kind of characters will not buy the game, they would rather sit in their echo chamber and virtue signal.

I can't think of any game with a fat protagonist, it's not a practical setup
Mario is just stout

Wario. Crazy Taxi's Gus. They made a monkey in a ball, a dude with a sofa bolster for a head, an evil clown in an ice cream truck, and an abstract yellow jaw work. They're full of shit.

Not nearly as bad, but you have a point. It's interesting to think maybe they took it as far as the publisher would allow, but really they would have made her look like OP if given complete freedom.

I mean, streamers often make "le epic funny ugly character". And the character creators let them do that. But they don't let you create a semi-realistic fat middle-aged white woman. It's not a bold choice for the new Druckman game (Intergalactic?) feature yet another angry black bald girl boss. Everyone groans and calls him Cuckman. But think of the attention if he made the truly bold choice of OP as the protagonist. Yeah, she's fat and plain but she kicks ass. Yeah, our game has romance and she WILL seduce Chad.

You kind of have a point, it's usually just a substitute masculine figure

I want there to be more people who are capable of creating games and who are not radicals wanting to praise ugly body types

that's the vast majority of people making games
this bodytype never shows up in vidya despite being common in real life
