Wii Fit To Little Girl: "You're Fat"

​

Japan made it through Wii Fit mania without a hitch, really. Nobody fell off the board or anything like that. Good times, all around! But, that's Japan. What about elsewhere? Over on Disney community forum (yeah, we know) DISboard, one poster claims:

We have all laughed and joked about being told that we're fat and need to lose weight but I was gobsmacked when it [Wii Fit] told her that she is overweight. She is a healthy 10 year old girl with an active lifestyle, she swims and dances every week. She is 92lbs and 4ft9" tall and there is not an inch of fat on her. She is solidly built but not fat. She was devasted to be called fat and we had to work hard to convince her that she isn't. I know it is just a game but seriously we already have to worry about young girls starving themselves to look like the magazine models and now we have a game that tells them their fat. This to me is very worrying and I hope that is doesn't cause emotional problems for any youngsters out there
​

Cue Karen Carpenter concerns!

i can assume its failure in pakistan as there are under weight kids here ....ohh hoo my bad, over weight kids and they r gonna bash on it all day long until its sensors get killed..

 

[manigamer]

i bet that girl cried all day long maybe even for some day's lol and nibbled onto lettuce like a hungry rabbit LOL...

Well she had to know it sooner than later. Better that a machine tell her that instead of a High School JOckey. Then she would have wasted away her life eating ice-cream and watching Oprah.

there are no healthy kids here in pakistan...only too fat or too thin.

i agree but it may do em all good to get some exercise.

Well this is one of the few game (i think), that not only entertains you but also makes you fit with it.

I weigh 135 lbs...and this little girl who is less than half my age weighs 92 lbs. Hmm, she is fat, me thinks.

man kids here who use this and are called fat probably beat the hell out of their wii until it dies or comes to its senses and calls them average
