Haha, I do mention Roadhog and Ellie in my list of fat characters. Like diverse bodies are so interesting and they can create some amazing characters, even if it's different levels of abled-bodied, size, textures of skin, etc.

It's going to be fun, and to talk about what representation means to people. Some might not see the point in it, others might love it. I had a lot of fun playing Saints Row (2022) because I got to see someone in charge who looks like me. I mean the Saints Row games have been pretty great at representation for not only gender but body size too.
