What do you guys think of Jane being overweight?

She's slightly overweight. Is it easier to see her in chase? Easier for me.

    I don't think it necessarily helped me in the chase, but her size made it easier to spot her on the ground (in the dying state).

    They’re slowly trying to introduce pallets that won’t have the same integrity. Such as, pallets that automatically break after being vaulted one too many times...

    Slightly overweight? She looks prettt chunky in her new cosmetics.

    As for what I think....it's irrelevant. A survivor is a survivor. Doesn't really matter how they look to me.

    She’s only curvy not fat not thicc.

    She's not fat, she's just got some THICC hips and booty. I think she's a great addition to the game

    Cause people are stupid and think they are entitled to what a survivor should look like.

    Jane is definitely overweight albeit just slightly. People are just used to seeing really fat people so someone slightly overweight is considered "thick", "curvy" and so on. Jane and Meg have the about the same height yet Jane weighs like 40% more than Meg based on her legs and... Her huge gluteus maximus.


    That being said I don't notice a difference chasing her or other survivors. The only survivor that can virtually disappear like a ninja is Claudette - sometimes.

    I don’t mind her being thicker, I just wish they would round her shape out and increase her bust. She looks boxy shaped to me.

    Clown's relationship with Kate has ended. Now Jane is his favourite.

    Strategically speaking, it is wiser to pick a character that is smaller and darker so as to be harder to see *cough*Claudette*cough*. But lots of survivors give exactly 2 craps about being hard to see. Just look at all the colorful cosmetics and how often they are used as proof. With all that said, I like the fact that she is overweight more from the perspective that overweight people are largely under represented in video games.

    Survivors are strongest while they're looping. If you catch someone while they're hiding, it often means a free hit and even a down. Besides if a survivor spends so much time stealthing and hiding, they're not doing objectives nor are they being chased. If they're doing objectives, they're often doing them slower.

    I don't know I was trying to vault a pallet silently as her but the pallet broke ..

    ¯\(°_o)/¯ ..


    But I like diversity .. now that we got a Fat man ( jeff) and this fatty woman (jane)


    I feel like the devs would be overdoing it if the next Survivor a fatty too . Good God . 🙈

    Umm, why do people insist on calling fat people "curvy" or "slightly overweight"? Jane is fat, period. Not that she's not attractive in a weird way, but it doesn't change the facts.

    Who cares?for the people who seem to have an issue with her weight/thickness... Do you shame every “fat/thick/thicc” person you see in your every day life? Like, grow up.

    Her big booty make her legs appear shorter which makes her look a bit like a fat dwarf (no offense to small people).

    Not attractive at all. Probably has to do with the perspective of survivors aswell.

    You assume it's fat not muscle. Also, although correlated weight does not indicate health or muscle to fat ratio.

  • Yamaoka
    Yamaoka Member Posts: 4,321

    When did Jane become a bodybuilder, powerlifter, strong(wo)man etc? Normal people who don't lift can't have 40% more muscle mass than other people who are the same height, gender, age unless the overly muscular person in question has a rare myostatin condition causing overgrowth of muscle tissue. Jane is (slightly) overweight, not sure why some people make a fuzz about it.

  • PiiFree

    If you're a bit thicker than her and you see people calling her fat, it would automatically mean that you're fat aswell. I think that's why some people don't want to call her fat :-)

    maybe for you she's overweight, but real woman have curves! who wants to count every bone of their girls body? LUL

    Does that mean real men have a beer belly aswell? Lucky me then.

    Ooooh that makes sense 😅.

    On a serious note being (slightly) overweight doesn't necessarily mean someone's unattractive or anything and I'm not talking about social lies like "beauty comes from the inside" but more like other factors. I mean... Jane Romero sure as hell has a perfect face and upper body... Right?

  • Delfador

    @PiiFree Is she really fat though?

    She has a flat stomach, her booty and breast is filled with fat. She looks like a typical hispanic woman. Her face looks normal, and she even has somewhat a jawline. You can't even see fat people's necks.

    She is not thin by any means but when you say fat, I have a different image in my mind.

  • PiiFree

    @Yamaoka

    You're absolutely right. It also depends on what body parts you find important. Many men prefer women with nice, big boobs but to me a nice booty is much more important.... and Janes booty is a bit too big for my taste, that's probably also because of the high waist pants.

    @Delfador

    No, she's not fat but I think her booty is a bit too thick compared to the rest of her body. The proportions seem a bit weird. She's not fat, her booty is fat 😆

    In the wise words of Mystikal and Lil Dicky...

    She ain't fat, 'bruh', just a lil THICC.

    People would rather complain about "fat shaming" rather than just putting the food down. It's always someone elses fault these days. I just don't like how so many facets are attempting to normalize unhealthy levels of weight for the sake of emotions.

    looks like someone is jealous cause they're as flat as a door or they're trying to keep the illusion that they're with a hot plank

    People complain about fat shaming because it's a ######### thing to do. We're all entitled to our opinions. But if you don't find someone attractive you don't have to be a dick about it. I personally don't find ultra skinny women attractive. I'm not going to make a thing about it to them and try to shame them into conforming to my ideals.

  • Blueberry
    Blueberry Member Posts: 13,670

    Please elaborate on what I said that was being a "dick"? I said nothing even rude whatsoever.

    The difference here is skinny isn't unhealthy (not talking about an extreme like anorexia here), being overweight is.

    Such a topic.

    Gamewise, I don't care too much about any survivor's appearance. As long as they have the same hitbox, I don't have to worry. They all walk and run at the same speed, anyway. And since I play mostly killer, they all hang in the hook the same way to me.

    Now on another note, having people from different backgrounds and lifestyles represented in media (games in this case), will always bring acceptance and attention from those feeling they're being represented, and it is the general trend in this time. I sure welcomed the addition of Jeff "the metalhead" Johansen, for that exact reason.

    Now in a more serious tone, being overweight or obese is really not a matter of opinion, acceptance, or attractiveness. It is a matter concerning health. And a matter of public health in a larger scale.

    In societies where the obesity rate for adults is over 30%, it is normal and expected, to have a lot of people defending that condition or trying to gain acceptance. But the long term impact on each individual's health and later on the public health system goes beyond any opinion. And those are facts that are being measured every day and are out there for anyone to read.

    If fat shaming is a term, fact shaming should be one too, by the same criteria.

    @Blueberry Sorry, I was referring to fat shaming in general not your comments specifically. But also trying to explain why I have an issue with it.

  • Dwight_Confusion

    Honestly? I'm pretty tired of hearing millennials flood chats and streams with "thicc" over and over again.

    I think she looks good. The term "thicc" is a made up new generation term that doesn't really mean anything.

    If you clowns mean "thick" then that makes more sense. But she's just bigger. It isn't a big deal.

  • Ryuhi
    Ryuhi Member Posts: 3,826

    Nothing wrong with her appearence or design, and its nice to have a different body type represented instead of "tiny woman" and "broad shoulders man."

    That said, it does look a bit awkward when she fast vaults to me, I feel like her model needs a slightly different animation to look more natural.

  • Kamikaze_Rose
    Kamikaze_Rose Member Posts: 247

    I'm just tired of the constant "thicc, thicc, thicc" every time she's spoken about. It's becoming the new and unfunny "Nea is the killer."

    She's overweight? I thought she was just extra thicc.
