Where are all overweight people in Andromeda?

Fat people are not a minority group lol. Stop trying to gain the same status as race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. Most fat people are fat by lifestyle. Metabolic illness is exceptionally rare. It's not much different than claiming men with long hair are a minority and deserve protection because less people find that attractive as well.

Very well written, I can't agree more.

The fact that a certain country has a very big % of fat people, and that most of those are fat given their (let me copy you xD) unhealthy lifestyle (overeating, a diet of processed food, sedentarism) doesn't mean that, at least in the rest of the world, many people may be fat due to their organism (sickness [hypothyroidism; diabetes mellitus, etc]; natural slower metabolism).

Also is absolutely true that anyone with some fat is dealt as unhealthy, again, this general sheepy opinion is based on the fact they only consider the "unhealthy lifestyle" way of getting fat, which is obviously almost always, an indicator of bad health.

You can have overweight due to your organism (sickness [hypothyroidism; diabetes mellitus, etc]; natural slower metabolism) or even a problem with medicines you had to take (cortisona comes to my mind) and be good in health, ie, not having high colesterol, circulation / cardio problems, etc.

So yeah, the "lore" argument is pathetic and senseless. In the other mass effects there were Volus, do you remember? I don't know if it's their suit but they were short and chubby, and they were advanced and useful as any other alien species.

So, even I don't give a damn about having or not gay / lesbian / trans people or not in the game, or fat, short, ultra skinny etc chars, I also find it very "selective" to just represent those sexual differencies, and ignore other realities of our society.

Apparently the different BW Studios all have their own selective inclusion policies.  ME leaves out overweight people while SWTOR leaves out the gay and lesbian relationships.  They just can't ever get it right.

Fat people would never leave a Milky Way.

Man, they can't get the animations right for the sole M/F models they have, and you expect them to create two or three more (for each gender?)  :lmfao:

well, ok, next time some gays or trans will start complaining as they usually do, I will also dismiss them and their topic as trolls and refer them to you about that. Because clearly lack of inclusion of certain groups is less important than the others. Wonderful world of double standards we live in.

I kinda dislike it when someone pretends to be advocate of certain group just to talk shit about other group instead of really supporting the cause they claim they are.

I properly lol'd at this!! 😂

I don't imagine the number of people who would play a fat character is enough to make it even remotely worth the effort into making the body models. If I had to guess, I'd say less than 5%, easily, and that's being generous. Less than the number of people who romanced Jacob, for sure.

What playing as a fat character has to do with having fat characters in entire game? Nobody was demanding to be able to play as one, even though it would be nice to have that form of customization in CC as well if possible.

Also the argument about time-cost of making fat characters - for example Dragon Age Origins had fat characters and BW did not went bankrupt, but in 2017 it suddenly became so prohibitively expensive and technically impossible.... yeah, right... but hey, don't let me stop you or anyone from making up excuses for discrimination of people with some extra weight.
