Why are merchants always portrayed as fat?
>>97789948You ain't getting fat if you are a peasant: It is a signature of wealth, such as smooth, un-tanned skin.
>>97789948They aren't
>>97789948Being fat was a sign you led a life of wealth and luxury. This guy is rich, he can sit at home and smoke his cigar and eat a feast instead of toil in the fields all day.It's only in the modern age where everyone has everything provided for them where it's flipped to rich people distinguishing themselves through autism and discipline instead.
Both are associated with greed.
>>97789948Burghers and other merchants had money. Money meant they got to indulge in delicacies. They also didn’t have to do a ton of manual labor depending on their trade. It’s a valid historical stereotype.
>>97789948Because nobody who makes fantasy considers the rule of 6s for their fantasy characters.Maybe you can make the ideal 6-foot-6 Chad with a weekly 6-figure check, and 6-pack abs. It's your fantasy character, your fantasy world, and your fantasy game, make what you want.
>>97789965>un-tanned skinThat's culture appropriation.There were plenty of very, VERY tan people who used to pick cotton, back in the day.
>>97789948I thought they had big noses
>>97790133You're thinking of clowns.
Would by extension luxury prostitutes be plump?
>>97789948Are bananas real in your game your system setting group tell us how why when where
>>97790679Why are half the threads on this board like this
>>97790217They goddamn well should.
>>97791080Mods make low effort threads to artificially inflate the post count for advertisers.
>>97791080>>97791195
>>97790027are you sure?
>>97791080Bored, attention-starved adolescents aren't exactly known for putting any effort into their shitposting.
>>97789948That's how you know they're living the good life. I've never met a thin person who liked themselves, me included.
>>97789948Mo muneyMo fud
>>97790097Did American's really exist back then ?....
>>97791080To many bot threads, so anons are trying to determine if a thread is worth answering or not.AI has difficulty answering out of context questions. If you are having an online conversation, ask it a random question (like bananas) and if it doesnt answer or answers incorrectly, you are probably not talking to a real person, just a bot pretending to be.
>>97789948what the fuck do you think a merchant even does?they just sit around all day and eat to pass the time, of course they're fucking fat
Will OP ever respond?
>>97789948Wait are you not fat?
>>97790090No, both are associated with wealth, you stupid communist.
>>97795941No. A merchant killed him by sitting on him.
>>97791538Who are you quoting?
>>97796010>he doesn't know CREST Research did a uk gov funded dive into the evil terrorist 4chan and came up with an action plan to deradicalize it. You can probably still find the pdfs if you look it up.
>>97796010That quote is from a CREST paper about 4chan. CREST is some kind of glow in the dark group.
>>97793630>AI This always happened, even before that garbage was created.
>>97796047>>97796057ok
>>97789948Traditional games?
>>97789948Because it’s either that or giving them elongated bulbous grotesque noses
>>97789948Untanned skin, being fat, long nails, hell getting gout is all seen as noble/rich stereotypes especially for the time and setting.
>>97789948Merchants will eat more or fuck more
>>97789948>Why is a profession with more money to spend on luxuries (including good food) and that does not rely on lots of manual activity to suceed be depicted as fat?I don't know OP, that's one for the PhD graduates, it's far beyond me.
>>97789948But they literally aren't though.
>>97789948My merchants are always happy
