Well, it's definitely not fatshaming.
There's a difference between not portraying people who are obese and shaming them.

You're right that it's a tactic, but it's an extremely scummy and disingenuous tactic which also diminishes the term.
Even worse if you're aware of what you're doing, that just makes it 10 times worse.
And I think that this has more to do with it just being too much extra work especially in EA to adapt everything to different body types, it's not as simple as just expanding the gear with the models you'd end up breaking things it's a lot of extra work.
But some level of customization I'd imagine will be there, but I wouldn't expect straight up obesity tbh.
Or well, the line for '' obese '' medically is quite low I think, but I mean people who are very large and not just has a bit of a belly.

I think that something like this is a bit more realistic to expect. [Linked Image]
