Duplicate of Acrofatic: Fatter Than A Speeding Bullet

Bumping. I'm still not seeing a tropable distinction here—both these tropes are about a fat person with unexpected mobility.

Agility and speed are not the same thing. That's the difference.

They are distinct, but frequently linked. I suspect that a majority of examples will fit both. But not all. Which is why I'm thoroughly neutral on this.

Agility and speed are related; I think the tropes should be merged simply because the number involving speed without agility amongst the heavy-set are Too Rare To Trope - it seems that the categories involved are "fat yet agile" and "fat yet agile and fast."

That said, this crowner is a few weeks old. Unless we get sudden movement, we should probably take action on the one that hit the 2:1 ratio.

Agility and speed are not the same thing, but they're so closely related that it's not important for us to have separate tropes for them. I wouldn't want to split off "Fat person who can jump really high", even though that's not the same as agility.

"Fat person as a fragile speedster" (the crowner option that had the 2:1 ratio) seems even more Too Rare To Trope. I'm having difficulty thinking of any examples for that one.

Current standings: +7 (yeas:13 nays:6) 2.17 : 1 for a merge.

Cleanup is at 7 to 7.

Now at +11 vs. -2. I'll move to call that a consensus for merging.

And still rising (currently +13). We'll let it go over the weekend and probably call it on Monday.

Okay, seems clear enough. Merge done. Got the wicks. No subpages that I noticed. Anything I missed?
