Why aren't there more fat, pathetic protagonists in anime/manga?

Because the fat pathetic people who consume the media want power fantasies and escapism.

I don't like drawing fat people.

>>154255800
There aren't many fat, pathetic protagonists in most media.

>>154255800
Why don't most movies, tv shows, and even news reflect that people are getting fatter and fatter?

The same reason why anime and manga won't have fat and ugly people are main characters.

>>154255800
They're in a most doujins, however, so that's something.

shitty american sitcoms mostly

The fat man being the protagonist isn't rare, but it's a lot rarer than him being the antagonist.

Do you know a manga that has a fat and unsuccessful protagonist who commits suicide but is reborn as a kid years before he fucked up in school?

He murders one of his friends because he got fed up with her too

Oh yeah, the edge incarnate series with the tomboy murder and the time-traveling rape baby.

Was there anything that had more balls about this than Wall-E?

>>154255800
ressentiment was a great series

>>154259126
Just finished it
I wasn't expecting the ending to be this depressing

Takuro didn't deserve to be left like that
Also is Boys on the Run good?

>>154255800
I really wish there was, so i can strive to not be like them in certain ways

I am a hero ending left me unfulfilled but the ride was good

It was the same for me at first. But thinking back to how useless and dependent Hideo used to be left me feeling nice. Comparing how he breaks down into hallucinations his first two nights spent alone and what happens by the end is fulfilling in itself.
