Body positivity, No Plus Size Vampires?

[PlayUnc Farti]

We need Vampires of ALL sizes please!
Everyone is equal, even those that suck just a little more blood than the rest of us!

I'm not AGAINST it. It's not a sex thing, I just find the idea of a tiny teenaged girl brutalizing a country HILARIOUS. Like the girl from Overlord.

A larger body type of vampire could be possible in one manner or another, older folklore and first hand accounts mentioned supposed vampires found in the grave being, and pardon my wording, no offense intended, bloated and full of blood after a feeding. Mind this was mostly due to people's misunderstanding of a body's decomposition states, but I mean there are face options in the game with skeletal appearances, including that of one referencing Count Orlok, why not a larger body type to both reference the folklore and be more inclusive at the same time?

Additionally to some nay sayers, some older folklore did mention vampires consuming more then just blood, some also ate the flesh of their victims and hell most didn't even do that much, no blood drinking at all and simple murder was on the menu or cursing your livestock, being a general nuisance, simply coming back to bed your spouse, etc. If you dig far enough early stories on vampires didn't even have silver or sunlight weaknesses and could stroll about as they pleased. Considering the game heavily references more along the lines of Stoker's and Rice's vampires there is a set theme but there is really nothing in either to say there wouldn't be larger sized vampires.

Also taking into account that most vampires are basically undead as well (depending on which folklore you subscribe to) metabolic rates bodily functions have since ceased and there will be no shedding of the pounds no matter how many miles they run or weights they lift. Should someone of larger size be bitten they're staying that way. There's been nothing noted in old or recent folklore about them changing their base body size at will so it could easily be presented in a respectful way in any medium.

Question: Even if you are out of shape, you're telling me you'd pick that as a self reflection?

The whole point of these type of games is to be immersed in not being yourself. The only time people pick those body types or skins is for the lol and to meme around....

Underaged undead unite! The little people will also be allowed, but will need to wear the school girl uniforms as well.

Some people don't find a problem with being fat? And they like to see characters like them reflected in the media they consume?

I'm a skinny twig ♥♥♥♥♥, but I can still kinda relate.

*snicker* Okay... I gotta give you props for the DWD reference. It's been fun, but I've got to take my squirrel for a walk. Yes, I own a squirrel... and yes, they love to be walked. Later kids.

The story of the game is that you are a vampire that has been in hiding starved, you think a starved vampire would be plus size? Come on man!!

By that same logic, your male vampire shouldn't be a dorito-shaped muscle-machine, but when more male body types were suggested, everyone bent over backwards to provide weird-ass justifications for why that was normal

Don't skip neck day.
