Female fighting game characters drawn to be overweight

Posted by SFilp
March 5, 2013 at 6:20 p.m. PST
In fighting games, many of the female characters are often portrayed as very thin and scantily clad. While it's fairly rare for them to be overweight, for their male counterparts, such as Rufus in the Street Fighter 4 series, it's not as uncommon.

Some artists on DeviantArt have drawn these female characters to be overweight, below are a few examples but there are many other characters from different games or even TV shows on each of the artists DA page. Credit and a link back to the DeviantArt page are below each image if you're looking for more.

As an FYI, we realize this isn't everyone's cup of tea, and as always we read your feedback.

For those who are offended, keep in mind there's plenty more who didn't mind this post. Again, we're not in the business of pissing off our readers, that would be... very dumb, but we mix in offbeat posts like this on occasion — and the vast majority of the stuff we post is hardcore FGC content, stuff like match footage, technology and combo videos.

Anyway, if you spot the Facebook like button at the top of this story, there's quite a few people who Liked this story. But, we also see the negative feedback too, and it sparked a good internal discussion on our parts.

While this fanart may be fetishizing being overweight I think it would be awesome to have some variance in terms of the sizes of female fighters. If bob from tekken is at his peak around 300 who's to say makoto can't be.

( also some of you could stand to take a chill pill or two nobody is making you come here nor are they forcing you to look at every article just keep it scroolin' guys)

Outside of that, I just find this as one more reason why we have hot, slender female characters in fighting games over...this. There's a sociological difference in the acceptance of fat men and fat women in different media. This article just stumbled right into that discussion...

NLucafs's avatar
NLucafs said on March 5, 2013 at 8:08 p.m.

@Catalyst The difference between these ladies and Rufus is that Rufus is a playable character in a fighting game. He has purpose beyond just being fat.

The fat women in this article exist for the sole reason of jerking off to. They have no other purpose. It's not like anyone is making a fat Makoto mod for AE or anything like that. They are objects of fetishism and nothing more.

I'm sure Rufus tickles someone's fancy out there, and hey, everyone has their "kink", but Rufus exists for more than just jerking material. The art in this article doesn't. That's the difference and that's why I don't particularly care to see this kind of thing on EventHubs.

But, of course, you guys are free to post whatever it you want. You DO run the site, after all.

Ok in seriousness is this really worth news details? Because there are already these kinds of pics from google, or someone from Youtube with their videos. Plus theres really nothing special about them just saying. Although we do see certain sketches of other fighter game characters in the news topics.

Ginta36 said on March 5, 2013 at 8:09 p.m.

That was pretty risky posting something like this on Eventhubs. Truth be told there is a double standard between the male and female aesthetic. So what might be okay for Rufus and Bob may be offensive for female characters. Women are very sensitive about their weight; you guys should be more careful.

I do care as to WHY grabbing random pics from DeviantArt is an article.

@34: it has nothing to do with double standards and everything to do with why browsing through DeviantArt is somehow worth an article.

EDIT: http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2010/ju...

Anyways, I approve! *Reads whiny people's comments*

OT: Not my cup of tea, but to be fair we do need a big (maybe not Rufus big) woman in SF for even more variety. Been said before, but something like an Amazon can work, or some kind of wrestling/grappler chick. Heck, we already have a newhalf (Kreygasm), so a rep for the big girls would be cool.
