Call me cold or whatever but I am not approving of your reasoning. One could call the effects of brain damage insensitive. One could call farts and urine gross.
I for one see the obesity mutation as a gameplay mechanic first rather than to dibble into ethics, morality and all that kinda fuzzy stuff people like to argue days and weeks and years and aeons about.
Lipolicid from weight-loss-shakes and the mutation of obesity have a nice little mini-system of: here is a mechanic that is probably going to bother you as you are seriously capped in your ability to wear many items and hold many things. Also - yo there is this item in the vending machine to get rid of this status.
What about clowns who might want to DNA inject a security officer with this mutation?
It leads to more interesting stories that unfold in comparison to - sec officer got taser - clown got lube - clown wins.
For me it is simply a gameplay mechanic and with the mechanic I see nothing wrong.
You may have your different kind of view on this matter - but in all honesty I do not see how removing a fairly outside-of-the-usual gameplay mechanic benefits anyone.
Feel free to remove the distainful jokes you mentioned in your PR, but I disagree with removing the mutation and this neat little system.
