Why are feminists mad about a video game?

"Feminists cry foul over Fat Princess

Does Sony's cartoony castle game cross the line?"

Answer 1

I think that this is one of those cases where they are going way too far over something petty.  Some people just need to chill and develop a sense of humor!

Answer 2

because they think that the Fat princess is insulting.

Answer 3

Pure speculation, it’s ridiculous; the game is about as offensive as kittens. The only thing that offends me is Nintendo is supposed to be a better platform than PS2 but the game graphics look even crappier and the Nintendo is more expensive.

Answer 4

I think it's kind of funny. It's just a game. Whenever things like this get out, it sells more games. I bet it's actually really funny or super lame.

Answer 5

What you mean to ask is "Why are THOSE "feminists" upset about the game?"

Two gamer feminists don't represent all of us. And I don't know why they are upset. I think you should ask them.

Answer 6

Media beat up. Two feminist gamer sites have criticised the game for the negative portrayal of a female character.

They're entitled to their views.

You're entitled to yours.

Cheers :-)

Answer 7

Maybe the media is making it out to be more than it is?

Answer 8

There's a lot of different slants to this. I read an article that stated that a feminist invented the game. But I think theimportant thing to think is it isn't feminists. I'm not a feminist, but it's clear that like everything esel just because a few extremist wierdos state something, doesn't mean that all of a group thinks it.
