sorry but i don't really think they should be bothered by this i mean they are not the ones getting fat XD

It's not just the title that's angering the folks behind sites Feminist Gamers and Shakesville, female-run gaming blogs who are already voicing their displeasure to Sony. It's also the concept that players must feed the titular princess – who starts out slim – in order to make her fat, and thus harder to capture.
 
I can't believe they made a game like that, not cause the concept of the game. JUST CAUSE THE GAME SOUNDS SO STUPID TO BEGIN WITH!!!! :lol
 
I hear its quite charming and fun, actually.

First feminists are mad at games for objectifying them by giving them ridiculous(ly awesome!) proportions that no real woman could ever aspire to become. Now they're mad because women are being presented in the opposite fashion? If you can't make female video game characters look good or bad, how the hell are they supposed to look?

This. Who came up with the idea?
 
Congratulations on helping to promote a mediocre-at-best game, Feminist Gamers.

It's already been nominated for a bunch of E3 awards on multiple sites and even walked away with a couple awards off of GameTrailer's awards. The game actually looks incredible for a downloadable game.

QFT. Seriously. Feminists can be overly sensitive.

So true. In a world where women are subjectgated towards Media that make women and princesses perfect and skinny. It's harsh to create a game where you must save a "Fat Princess". When it can be degrading and offensive. Yet this is just a video game. Heck, nobody complained about the fat ugly queen in Final Fantasy 9, so what makes this any different?
 
They want her to get fat because of metabolism or something like that. But not because of cake. hmmmmmmmmmmm. No thanks. Eating cake to make you fat is REAL. They would be in an uproar if it were a pint of ice cream. What? They don't like the truth, that ice cream and cake make you fat. oh well, deal with it.
 
lol, You have got to be kidding me. Everyone is too dam hypersensitive. Honestly, I doubt that feeding a princess cake will cause the masses to start stoning fat people and throwing them in concentration camps.

Well once Oprah gets ahold of this game it will be black listed as the next satan of America and then once one little girl goes on Maury Povich with the first eating disorder caused by it the game will get sued out the behind by every person in the world with a kid. If people can sue McDonalds for making them fat and win then they will be able to sue this game also.
