Making Consoles Slim Is Fat Shaming

It’s been a common trend for a few generations now for console manufacturers to release “new and improved, slimmer” versions of their consoles. Ever since the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis 2 we’ve had slimmer versions of every Playstation 1-4 and the PSP, slimmer versions of the X-Box console and X-Box controllers and of course most famously the DS-Lite. Even the Wii got a mini version and the original Wii is tiny. A Wii mini was like an anorexic going on a diet.

All of these come out and how are they advertised? Oh they’re, “sleeker, more attractive, smaller but just as powerful as the bigger version”. It’s pretty obvious what they’re really saying is thin is superior to fat. Far better looking, more appealing but with just as much power as fatty. This is thin privilege.

4 generations of Sony Playstation’s thin propaganda

Remember how the original Nintendo DS was sickeningly nicknamed the ‘DS Phat’? The fat slur was obvious and as well as being fat is was also ugly. The Lite was so superior in every way the Phat was completely eliminated and the Lite sold tens of millions. You may think credit to Nintendo for introducing an XL version of the DS however it’s not like the XL is fat and ugly like it should be. It was just like the Lite but bigger. If the Lite was a skinny person the XL was just a tall skinny person. It can hardly be considered “X-tra Large”.

It is wrong for console makers to harmful societal ideas that being slimmer is preferable and better looking. Really they should look at going the other way and enlarging their consoles to reflect modern America. A console that’s 3 times the size, has trouble fitting in your house, can’t run very fast and has problems dealing with heat would be ideal in pushing body positivity. Big is beautiful.

A new start-a new XBOX. Review of Microsoft’s new baby.

……And there it is.   Yes I am the proud owner of an XBOX One slim, and boy is it slim. Having had it a few days now I have got to know it slightly and am in a position to do a little review. Don’t expect all the techy details, they are available quite easily on the net. This is a look and feel review. I will assume that, like me, you would be upgrading from an XBOX360 or getting into consoles for…

Why I'm Buying An Xbox S

Why I'm buying an #Xbox S

Microsoft announced the successor to the Xbox One, the Xbox S at E3 earlier this month, and I’m sold.  The update offers a significantly smaller chassis compared to the heavy beast currently under my TV, with upgraded visual fidelity, a new controller, and a larger HD among other things.   Often called a “mid-cycle refresh” in the auto industry, a B-spec version is often the best time to get…
