Why Are Thin Bodies the Default in Games?

quote [ "I've never seen a character like mine," says Gourrier. "It's a rarity. It should be the biggest indicator or guidepost that so many people are moved by this one particular character. Why shouldn't there be more? Shouldn't [games] reflect the world around us?" ]

Great read on Teen Vogue on representation and technicality. Via Jank.
