I don't think Hexie was drawn that way to BE a thicc pic. She was drawn that way to fit the unofficial character that has formed around her.
Hex Maniac's image, with no grounding in actual official materials, is that of an incredibly socially awkward girl with poor hygiene absolutely desperate for human interaction,let alone cock. Basically, your stereotypical male 4chan poster, but with a vagina and an obsession for ghosts instead of shitposting.
She isn't drawn overweight because they necessarily want a thicc girl first and foremost, she is overweight because that is part of the imaginary character of Hex Maniac as the weird lonely girl with no friends, no reason to bathe daily, and on the verge of a breakdown unless she gets a hug and a cock soon.
They don't want a fat girl, they want Hex Maniac, who happens to be fat.
Also, that's probably not even obese. Definitely overweight, probably on the cusp, but probably not obese, and certainly not morbidly obese.
