A case of straight up sexism in mmorpgs

I think “change” this really speaks for itself and would like to hear your opinion on it.

The Jerry mentioned is apparently an individual who has been gaining weight due to the working long hours lifestyle and Dungeon Fighter Online has decided to make a spectacle and a game of this.  It is unclear who Jerry is, if he actually wants to lose weight himself or if he’s just being bullied for entertainment.

So, we have a promotion based in fat shaming that is now linked to a reduction in muscle mass on the female fighter (to accomplish this via a diet would require starvation until the body cannibalises itself).  So we have:

• Sexism
• Fat shaming
• Endorsing eating disorders

Such a wonderful industry that this goes more or less unnoticed and unchallenged.
