Basic Trope: A character of forced or encouraged to gain weight, often for nefarious purposes.
- Straight: Alice is offered food, and as she eats, she gains more and more weight.
- Exaggerated: Alice is given a piece of cake and when she eats it, she bloats and blimps to obesity.
- Downplayed: Alice, offered food, isn't one to turn down free food, especially plenty of it.
- Justified:
- The one(s) causing the weight gain want more meat on their victims.
- The one(s) causing the weight gain is a chubby chaser who want their victim fat and more plump.
- Inverted:
- The victim is starved until they're very skinny.
- The victim is a cunning trickster and tricks their captor into eating the food and gaining the weight instead.
- Subverted: The host is just offering their guest a luxurious and bountiful feast.
- Double Subverted: Because the host is a monster that wants to eat their guest for their meal.
- Parodied: Alice, a Big Eater, willingly eats the enormous amount of food she's given, confusing and concerning her captor.
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: Alice is offered a large banquet of food, but turns down the offer.
- Enforced: While it's not exactly what happens to children who take candy from a stranger, depicting it as this certainly gets the warning across.
- Lampshaded: "You're just trying to fatten me up. I don't taste very good, if that's what you're planning."
- Invoked: Alice, who is a Big Eater, catches on to her host's plans to eat her, but instead tricks them into feeding her huge amounts of free food to make her into a more worthwhile meal.
- Exploited: A fatter victim has a harder chance to fight back or put up a struggle.
- Defied: Alice is aware that the villain is trying to fatten her up, and refuses to eat the food she's given.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Implied: ???
- Deconstructed: Alice catches on to the villain's plan and refuses to eat any of the food. Having no other option, the villain force-feeds her in massive quantities. But Alice's stomach, unable to stretch fast enough to accommodate all the food, ruptures, and she dies.
- Reconstructed: ???
