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 :(


I wonder how long before jack thompson and the media news sites jump on this.

I'll agree with what the other posters said, 92lbs is a bit overweight for a 10 year old girl.

It uses your BMI, which isn't the best way to tell if you are over/underweight or not anyway.
A much better way is to measure your body fat :P

I'm starting to not like being American... Do I really have to be grouped to morons that take life advice from video games and magazine models (that can be photoshopped, btw)

Yes. Not your fault, blame the 90% that do just that.

I agree, why do we need someone telling us who or what we need to be.

However, 92 lbs for a 10 year old isn't that bad, she might have some muscle, that's all...
