>Critics are blasting the new Super Nintendo attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood as “blatantly fatphobic” because the augmented reality dark ride has a size restriction that will leave many Americans with larger waistlines on the sidelines.
i mean, i’m 6’7″ and 280lbs so this ride’s not something i’ll ever experience (shit, my skeleton probably has a 40″ waistline) but as a middle-aged guy with no kids i could not really care less
make the ride safer for the kids first and foremost – which might’ve been difficult if it also had to accommodate heavyset adults
This ride has a height requirement of only 40″ so it was clearly designed with smaller children in mind.
>“If you size every seat for the largest possible person, you’re guaranteeing that a smaller child cannot ride,” Jim Shull, a theme park consultant and former Walt Disney Imagineer, told the Wall Street Journal.

Eh, not surprised. This isn’t onion-worthy and has always been a thing.

One fat guy is complaining online and the article practically tries to imply “critics everywhere are outraged!”
DingbattheGreat says
Dwayne Johnson wouldn’t fit on this ride either. Is he fat?
