I was a fat kid and I am a fat adult. Ouch man.
Not a man which is my next point. It's a hard enough issue playing male MC's to start with. Nothing against guys i'm just more into batting for my home team ..... can we really call it batting without the right equipment?
Anywhoo......
If i'm going to play a male MC then it needs to be something I at least find aesthetically likeable.
Also...
You're missing the point.
It's a fantasy. Your weight is irrelevant in a fantasy. Nobody wakes up in the morning and thinks to themselves "gee, I wish I was overweight", it just doesn't happen.
Games like this are escapism, you can play anyone you want and people tend to want to play the guy that gets the girls.
Much like when I play female Mc games I want to play a tall leggy blonde that all the girls want to be with ...... oh, shit ..... I wanna play my sister ..... I would totally get her laid by people she hates.
