Because they would be very under used or walking fat jokes. ex Boba fat

Most people use body type 2. Body type 4 is the most underused. MMOs make their money from the majority, it would be stupid to go out of their way and remodel all the charactors and armors for the select few who would use them.

You go ahead but like I said I'm in a wheelchair. Why would I want it in a game? It would just ruin the escape that this game is. On your own.
Um, they have disabled people in the game. They're called cyborgs. You did notice taht Luke Skywalker is disabled, right? He only has one hand. And Bao Dur only has one arm. Except that in Star Wars we have CYBERNETIC LIMBS! And eyes and anything else you need. Darth Vader is disabled, and he's one of the coolest dudes in the galaxy. Thanks to a cybernetic BODY!

Or in other words, disabled people don't stay disabled. If you want to roleplay that your character is disabled, go right ahead, because it's not uncommon in Star Wars. Disabilities just aren't disabling anymore.

The droid isn't actually saying or implying your character is fat because it says that to all characters, but you are right, the male body type 4 isn't actually fat, it's thick and nothing but muscle.

The difference is we men don't complain about it. Some women for some reason instantly get depressed when they just see a superior specimen.
There's a whole subgenre of sitcoms about guys with girlfriends that are way hotter than them.

Lies!

Ohh and the female body type 4 isn't a bean pole by any means.....chunky is what she is.

No, cyborgs aren't disabled people, they are cybernetically enhanced people. Some actually opt for cybernetics even though they have a perfectly functional body.

Yeah, because all overweight guys are stupid and clumsy and child-like and therefor considered funny and endearing. There should be more attractive males in sitcoms!


Only the meek get pinched. The bold survive.

I like curvy ladies. In fact, my lady uses ONLY female body type 4 characters. Well, except for her Juggernaut which is body type 1. She wanted to be a Tiny Tank there. lol


Also, try the F2P City of Heroes. You can play a chunky girl there if you want. Not sure if it's been said already, since I didn't feel like going back through all the pages, but there you have it.
