Haha...I had the Fat People: Go be fat somewhere else on my office door for the longest time. Ahhh...good memories.

Okay, I'll tell you why there are no fat people in the future. Because no one wants to see and asari dancer jiggling all over the place....wow...that image is kind of comical...


I don't know... Nothing about the phrase "asari dancers jiggling" sounds bad to me. Quite the opposite in fact.

I love how you're not allowed to refer to people by their skin-colour and/or origin, unless you really wrap it in a sugar coating (e.i. this bl... guy i know, who's parents originally came from a very beautiful village in Southern Africa, with a friendly atmosphere and a very old and respected culture... he's a complete tool), but it's fair game to be utterly disrespectful and downright mean to people who are over-weight (even by a few lbs), who smoke or who are unemployed. Funny world, isn't it?

has it not occured to anyone (only read the first page) that this is the future, we're already trying to perfect diet pills and have surgery to make people skinny so in this future universe why can't there be procedures to make everyone look great. Cause everyone wants to look great and noone wants to look average so the future offers that haha

Maybe fatties have finally learned to diet and exercise, only took them several tens of thousands of years. Things are looking up for the average intelligence of humanity.

The vast majority of cultures consider a little extra baggage a sign of success and gathered wealth. It's only where the majority of people can get fat in the world that it is considered a failure. Because the majority of people in some countries are at least a little overweight, thinner people are the exception and to remain thin denotes a level of self-control that is simply not required in a country that doesn't have massive surpluses of fatty foods or readily available resources to allow a sedentary lifestyle. Be they from the Walmart or the IHOP or whatever.

It's all perception.

Well, for the most part over-weightness is a personal issue, and in rare cases, an actual disease.

Smoking = choice.

unemployed = semi-choice, semi-dictated by your nation's economic status.

You can't choose your skin color, or your background origin. Period. It's very black and white (I swear to god i didn't intend the pun. okay maybe a little.)

That might be why, especially when compared with my other choice about how smoking, overweightness, and unemployment are, in most cases, a personal choice.

No fat people. The Geth don't like what happens when they put them on the Spikes. Too much of a mess to clean up.

But there is in fact a genetic disease that won't let your body have the enzymes that make you feel stuffed, so you just eat and eat because you always feel hungry. That is not a real matter of choice, but obviously that might be the reason why there are no overweight people in the future. Genetic therapies have extinct these genes and everybody is happy.

You know, for a bunch of cheap shooter crap, the prejudice in this game is pretty high.

So people are saying we're whiners? Just because we're not as easily amused at them doesn't mean they can hold themselves above us.

Hey, everybody! Bioware discriminates against the

HOMOSEXUALS
FEMINISTS
JEWS

As I said, in most cases.

In most cases, that genetic disease is not present.

Pretty sure this is a joke topic.  Even says so in the OP.  Why so serious?

Sorry had to, anyway I was just kidding.

It is honestly because that would require more body information. I remember a dev talking about why there are no female turians or salarians, because every room can only have so many bodies in it. Making an entirely different body to represent fat people would just be wasteful. Plus, nobody wants to be fat so why include it. And its the future, everyone will have a great body.

The only thing I don't like about this is the lack of ANY children in the game.



I can imagine why there is no fat people in Space (well, first of all, you actually need to be fit to be able to travel around space without any problem, even today), but I just don't like the "all adult" theme of the game to some point.



At least it's talked a little in ME2, with children in Citadel and quarian bubble-kids.

^A world without children. Future generations will thank us.


All fatties have been incinerated in the future, to prevent over-population.

 I'm guessing in the future they have advanced medical technology, such as a magic diet pill that lets you eat all you want and not gain weight, or genetic therapy that have cured the overweight.  I doubt it would be from personal choices and exercise, because people still smoke in the future.

Also some of the post are kind of offensive to overweight individuals.  A lot people who are currently overweight are not that way because of choice.  Lots of people diet and exercise without it having any effect.  Other people it seems can eat hamburgers everyday and not gain a pound.  Most of the tv documentaries about people who are very critically overweight talk about how they are constantly starving, so there's a problem with their appetites.

Totally need a wheelchair-bound handicap in the team to round it out 80's style.

Has it not become obvious to any of ye?

A hot alien monstrosity would not desire to divulge in fraternization with a superior who has a body mass index that does not correspond to said superiors weight.
