A number of parents have expressed concerns over Nintendo creating bad body images after a concerned family member complained that Wii Fit labeled her relativ𒅌e overweight.

"My [relative] came round this weekend and we let her play on our Wii Fit," a member of thewrote. "We have all laughed and joked about being told that we're fat and need to lose weight but I was gobsmacked when it told her thatꦇ she is overweight."

According to the poster, the girl inꦇ question is a healthy 4"9 10-year-old who swims, dances and weighs only six stone (84 lbs). "She is solidly ⭕built," the poster adds, "but not fat."

But she "was devastated to be called fat," the poster said, 🌠"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 they're fat."

Shocked forum users respon🅠ded angrily, spurring the user on to write an email to Nintendo. At 🥂the time of writing, they have yet to reply.

On the one hand, down with neg💎ative feminine body image. On the other,the phrase"kill the messenger," comes t🗹o mind...
