In a striking victory for body positivity, video game boss Gothar, Defiler of Worlds refuses to cover up his giant, glowing weak spot.
“I prefer not to call them ‘weak spots’, actually,” said Gothar. “I prefer to call them ‘positive points.’ I mean, I’m a giant monster with acid spit, lava wings, and claws made out of pure malice. You would think I wouldn’t be bothered about anything on my body, but that isn’t true. I used to be very self-conscious of this giant, glowing spot on my belly, but after taking the time to accept myself, I can’t wait to show it off to the worlds that I then defile.”
Gothar’s attitude change has not only impacted him. It seems that those employed by him have also noticed a change in his demeanor.
“We’re all very proud of the boss,” said one of Gothar’s minions, whose true name cannot be written or pronounced in any human language, but asked that we call them Debbie. “Before he embraced his weak spot, I mean, positive point, he did everything he could to cover it up. Armor, paint, the blood of his enemies. It never really worked. I mean, the spot glows! Nobody ever brought it up, but we all could tell it was impacting his self-esteem. It’s one thing to defile worlds, but you don’t have to be such a grump about it! Now it’s like his whole outlook on ending all life in the universe has changed. Work has actually become a fun environment.”
Gothar said he had gotten to this point through extensive therapy, rigorous self-care, and reciting daily affirmations.
“I am confident. I am beautiful. I am good at defiling worlds,” recited Gothar.
At the time of this article, Gothar plans to write a self-help book for other bosses to come to terms with their weak spots, and plans to start the first draft after he leads his hoard in a campaign to defile Earth, where he will proudly display his ‘positive point’ in a battle against the Chosen One.
