The one thing that bothers me about this is we don't really see her stuffing her face on a regular basis.
She doesn't eat enough to be as fat as she is; she should be ~170lbs tops. A friend of mine is like 5'4" and snacks almost constantly, but she's only like ~165lbs. Meanwhile faith over here is well over the 200lbs range. She's just fat for the sake of being a fat protagonist, without actually living the land-whale lifestyle of perpetual snacks and excessive meal proportions.

Alright definintly a little overweight remains to be seen just how much so although with psychic powers won't nesecarily lose weight unless her new life motivates her.

She was a secondary character in some series or another. Presumably the origin is told there. I don't remember what series it was, though.

Harbinger. Parents died in car crash, she survives, starts reading comics, eating and watching Whedon/SF, gets power, wants to rescue cats from trees.

I weigh 140. Fattest person I know weighs more than me and eats less. I know you'd love for it to be all their fault so you can valiantly hate them, make asshole comments for the sake of their health, and so on. But that's not how it works.

Because her being fat and also physically active contradict each other. Also, do they explain how a fat person can beat fit people? Because that's also not possible.

You really can't appeal to both. Pick an audience and roll with it.
Tumblr likes to be catered to. Pander to their weird fetishes and causes and they'll worship you.
4chan is probably harder to appeal to. If you try to pander to them they'll bitch about it, but if you don't pander to them they'll bitch about it. You just have to act like they don't exist.

For the people spewing the 'triggered' meme:

This shit ain't funny. That character is the equivalent of a drug using superhero. People actually die from being too fat. It is estimated that 300,000 people die in the US from this problem. So, what the fuck people? You're glamourizing a dangerous life-style for the sake of pandering. Imagine if she was anorexic. The landwhales would flip their shit. So why indulge in this fucked up, silly fantasy that being fat is okay and normal - even healthy?

This is insulting to any person struggling with weight problems.

This shit is fucked-up.
>>
>>82695213

Unless her superheroing consists entirely of getting cats out of trees and bribing robbers with Hostess fruit pies (which she carried whole boxes of even before she got powers), it should still be more than zero.
She's so far past "real women have curves" that she should be losing SOME weight from stress alone.

>>82695213

Yeah, but why should the creator censor themselves because they might hurt someone's feelings? This is the exact same logic SJWs use when you ask them why something like rape shouldn't happen in comics, or when you ask them why you should force diversity into comics.
>>
>>82695370

>>82695373
>But is there really any evidence of that?
The product. You don't need a public statement to know that something is built entirely to sell to a specific type of person.

Steven Universe panders, but at least that has some soul. You can tell that Rebecca Sugar or whatever actually crafted that product and put a little bit of her soul into it.
Faith is just a book written to sell to fat people because it's a current fad.
>>
>>82695426
I guess you're European too, since they're immensely popular here with the 80-90 generation. And with our parents, obviously.
>>
>>82695061
>So do they explain how she's fat?
It's more implied in Harbringer but it's also hinted here, basically her parents died at a young age and her doting grandmother allowed her to indulge in a life of excess and escapism (sound familiar?) resulting in her becoming what I can only assume is thoroughly set in her diet and exercise habits.
She only recently acquired her powers and as someone already said their use is not exactly a calorie burning thing, more mental strain
>Also, do they explain how a fat person can beat fit people? Because that's also not possible.
If the person had impossible telekinetic abilities allowing them to lift/nullify their own mass that would about answer that
>>
>>82695484
This is the only Valiant comic I don't read. Can't say I'm missing anything here either. But I'm fine with them playing the SJW crowd if it means we get more cool shit like Divinity.
>>
>>82695427

So does pandering just mean "something I don't like"? It seems to me like the creator just wanted to make a comic about a fat superhero.
>>
>>82695484
So they created the fat landwhale SJW's wet dream as a superhero. She could literally get even fatter and that wouldn't impair her ability to fight crime.
>>
>>82695373
>This is the exact same logic SJWs use when you ask them why something like rape shouldn't happen in comics, or when you ask them why you should force diversity into comics.

No. It fucking isn't. No one is trying to make 'rape' normal. It's not natural, there's no 'rapist life-style'. But when you start to pander to people that are actually deluded, saying 'it's ok to be like that' - it's akin to giving them a rope to commit suicide. This shit is awful: imagine you have a kid that's turning fat and can't even run anymore. You're trying to teach it good eating habits but the world around him keeps telling that it's ok to loose your breath after going up a flight of stairs. I think this is perverse and it should be stopped.

And about the diversity bit: being a fat person is as diverse as being a sick person. Obesity is not an inherit characteristic of a human being.

Well yes, but as the anon who was storytiming this hinted Valiant did not just now show up, all of this material was made before most people interested in the recent SJW stuff could walk. So it's nothing new.
Valiant are obviously capitalizing on the recent atmosphere of things though.

Again, this is the "normalizing sexism and racism" thing that they say, except you're just replacing "sexism and racism" with "fat". It's just a comic book. It's not real. Calm down.

Well put.

>>82695544

>>82695678

Being fat is the exact same of being sexist and racist. It's born from bad habits that you pick up or was taught to. The only actual difference is that you can die from being fat.

I won't calm down. This is injust and harmful to people.

>anyone ever wants to see a fictional character eat meals in real time.

why not show her taking shits? or just 2 pages of sleeping so we really feel those 6-10 hours.

it's just shit storytelling is why. no one wants to read a comic where batman has to stop ever few pages and eat a few lbs of chicken and veggies to maintain his physique.

>>82695700
someone raping in a comic and being fat in a comic is different than the sympathetic protagonist who is totally okay and in the right performing glorified rape/being glorified fat, imho tbqh famille

having a fat protagonist isn't an issue at all, it's that the whole point is to make being fat seem perfectly acceptable and healthy

I'd have scruples with a sympathetic protagonist partaking in glorified alcoholism, chain smoking or anorexia, too - in the vast majority of cases, such things come across as a bad habit of the character's, or are used in a comedic capacity; the author isn't trying to convince the reader that it's fine, healthy and even popular to starve yourself or chain smoke

No, you idiot. He's not talking about censorship. Read again. He said that the problem is how being a fucking landwhale is depicted as normal and healthy when it's fucking not.

I think you should calm down, regardless. It helps keeping rational.

You can't start censoring things because people with weak will may be influenced by the wrong interpretation. We start down that road we all know where it ends. Comics code was a nightmare for writing.

Ultimately much like how content with smoking, promiscuity, alcoholism and violent tendencies range in their use of making characters look badass to just an ass it's always a matter of context. And we have a situation here where the matter isn't entirely glossed over or idealized. In Harbinger Faith is clearly illustrated to live a negatively pampered lifestyle that makes her susceptible to harmful behavior despite her optimism and eagerness to help. There's no two ways about how it's shown and why, unless you choose to see it otherwise for whatever reason.

All the same there's evidence she's not entirely blissfully ignorant just stubbornly content with how the things that brought her comfort since young keep her from buckling under the overwhelming negatives building up as she gets older.
Her little story is about staying positive though, not being daft. She doesn't let up on sending signals to Archer and she has her little daydreams but she just as well acknowledges Archer's clear reluctance, which she maturely takes in stride instead of crying over, and recognizes the fantasies while momentarily useful for coping are completely useless to anyone else.

In the end Harbinger and its spinoffs mostly seem a story encouraging people who feel useless in society, not necessarily socially oppressed, to recognize they can still be decent if not heroic individuals and participate to the whole despite shortcomings. It's not about avoiding facts or condoning being a druggie, overgrown baby or impotent paraplegic. It's saying "well, you're flawed but if you (magically) have the opportunity to do any good make good use of it". Most of the antagonists are people with ample opportunity who abuse it.

This is my point right here.

Why americans care so much about making EVERY MC of a comic and cartoon a mouthpiece2on how to live your life?

I couldn't care less if they have shit hygiene or health, because I don't base my existence on comic book and cartoons. Do you want Constantine to stop smoking too? To Batman to search for proper mental health? To remove everything that made Lobo interesting?

Seriously, why some people treat everything as it is a role model. This seems stupid and immature.

Do you know that these characters aren't called out on ALL of their comics right? Nigga posted 4 issues and you are triggered because anyone in universe said that she is a flyingwhale, or because she didn't had a hearth attack for being fat.

Nigga, if it makes you feel better she died on a young age due to it.

Interesting. An entertaining distraction, if not one I would go out of my way to read.

It's amusing that it looks like a typical pandering superhero comic, except that it panders to overweight middle-aged Twilight-obsessed women rather than overweight middle-aged Superman-obsessed men. I have to wonder how well that actually works out; did the apparently target audience care about it, or did they pick up some sort of perceived insult? They tend to like being insulted.

Then again, that might not be the target audience at all. Perhaps the target audience are the landwhale SJW supporters, rather than the landwhale SJWs themselves. That would be a rather ironic twist.

And I said and provided evidence and examples that it doesn't, but please keep aggressively separating the camp of opinions into with you or against you whenever anyone has a view you don't want to acknowledge.

I've had friends and a sibling who struggled with the physical and psychological impact of being overweight, I have never once endorsed obesity but I'm not going to lash out at Faith or stories like Faith when upon analysis and not just a glance it's about the character's behavior not their body.

I also find this a curious disdain given Butterball was not met with such derision.
In fact as I recall /co/ loved the scene where he recognizes how completely ineffectual he is as hero but is told not to give up on trying to be heroic.

So I'm calling shenanigans.

Yeah, being fat is healthy and natural is totally the message the comic is trying to convey.
>>
>>82694857
I don't get how people just don't understand that.

I know that *really* understanding nutrition and the way your body works in any capacity can be daunting but when the rules of physics dictate you need to stuff your face the same way you always do to maintain your current size I don't get how people can still get confused or turned around on how being fat works.

Nigga WTH are you talking about? Constantine had terminal lung cancer.

We barely see people smoking on tv/comics anymore because that's a 'dangerous habit', but Fatty McFatty is OK.

I don't want to CENSOR anything. I just want things to be fair over here.

>>82698018
Nigga, I read 70% of his comics and this was the focus only on one arc.

You read 4 issues and is already mad, it is totally different.

Shit man, she died before the 60 BECAUSE of her health habits. You don't read comics, but this is what was show on multiple time skips. Why do you think that they are promoting it? Just because she didn't get called a skywhale along 4 issues?

Different anon stepping in here, just making an observation.

Different people have different metabolisms, and so one person eating more and gaining less weight isn't that impossible. This is especially true if you are comparing a teenager (who might be growing in other areas) to an adult who has been overeating for 10+ years. Even if they are both gaining the same weight with their diets, the overweight adult is going to look fat while the skinny teenager is probably just gaining height or muscle mass.

It also shouldn't be difficult to understand that, unless the diet and calorie burning are drastically different, weight will remain roughly the same over time. If superhero Fatsy McGee doesn't burn any extra calories due to superhero logistics, then a standard diet plus the occasional sundae is going to keep her are roughly the same weight as she currently is at. If you understood nutrition, then you would realize that somebody doesn't need to each whole turkeys or tubs of ice cream to remain at a 200+ lb weight class. Maybe to get there, but once there, the standard 2000 calorie diet is going to keep them there unless something changes.

It's obviously merch. My initial guess was Kingdo m Hearts.

>>82690489
Keep it in perspective. She's more than just "a little overweight". She's morbidly obese. She's fatter than Amanda Waller. She's a jumbo pizza away from Blob territory.

Assuming the person otherwise eats at a maintenance level, the addition of a single small vanilla milkshake from Sonic per week will add roughly seven pounds per year.
>>
>>82698518
Yep, roughly the same weight. If we're talking about Spiderman, then he maintains that 150lb gangly frame. If we're talking about Faith and her 280lbs or so, then she stays at roughly that same weight.

It certainly would not be the reason she jumped up to that size, but she doesn't need to overeat to stay at that weight. Just keeping a standard diet will keep her there.

>or because she didn't had a hearth attack for being fat.
It's quite literally canon in-universe that she dies in her 50s from a heart attack because she's fat.

In the ongoing that she spun out of, the rest of her teammates called her "zeppelin" instead of zephyr because she's fat.

But knowing this would require actually reading comics instead of just going out of your way to get offended by shit, which the millenial fucks that have taken over the internet are incapable of doing.

I'd love to meet someone in their 20s that doesn't devote their entire life around getting offended by shit, because far as I can tell, that's all you retards are capable of.
