So about the Druid fat shaming…

To counter the fat shaming thread about Druids, thought I’d pop in and share my thoughts as a person of larger body identity.

We need more fat body types, not less. The idea that you can constrain us 300 lbs+‘ers to a certain class is stereotypical and constrictive. We come in all shapes, sizes, and races blizzard — get used to it.

It’s unreasonable to think that with my part time online community college schooling on gender studies and grinding for Uber Lilith I’ll have the time to maintain a super strict exercise routine needed to stay under 250lbs

In fact, the Druid is the perfectly healthy strongman build. /end rant

The sad thing is that I can’t tell if this is satire or serious anymore

I can be cruel to you and say you are right, or I can be kind to you and say if you weigh 275 pounds, your primary focus should be on weight loss and not playing a friggin video game my man, unless you want to die in your 40s…

That is the truth, burry your head in the sand if you want to.

I’m 90% sure the people calling him fat are morbidly obese irl.

Skinny or fat I think people just want to choose themselves instead of being forced into a single body type per class

Was never a problem before though… but the second they make a character that doesn’t match their cringe fantasy of a character that they made up in their head it’s somehow now an issue… lol

People really making threads and complaining about a body type for a fake character in a video game. Go touch some mfing grass, lol. It’s really not that serious. With all the issues this game has at the moment the last thing anybody cares about right now is the size of a damn character class.

They never made gross/ugly playable characters before

The first time they did, d2r Amazon, people got very upset though

You’re entitled to that opinion… doesn’t make it true.

Good catch.
I was going to say, were you not around for the D2R threads about the changes to most of the classes?

In d4 basically all the characters are ugly so it’s all good

I’d just like options, honestly. Why can’t I be a super model druid?

Well, you’re entitled to believe whatever you want… still not factual.

I think the Druid’s weight is great RP gate keeping. Shallow people shouldn’t play a Druid.

Never known anyone who RP’s in a diablo game. Also I mained druid in d2, so even pretending people do RP in diablo, the rp claim wouldnt hold up.
