PETA: Mario is Pro Fur

[ChaoticKraus]

*yawn*

This is just what PETA does. Makes retarded/offensive actions/statements to make people notice them and thus maybe gain some supporters. The Escapist should really stop reporting on them since you are just doing exactly what they want.

That being said, the art in that crappy flash game was pretty nice. It creeped me out far more than most gore-y/Grimdark content in other games.

 

[White-Death]

And not a single Fuck was given that day.

 

[Mrmac23]

Stuff like this just confirms to me that natural selection has completely gone down the shitter.

 

[Jegsimmons]

lets make a new international law stating PETA cant exist anymore because they physically hurt peoples brains.

Or how about we ban PETA for... I don't know... actively supporting terrorists, such as Rodney Coronado, perhaps?

actually thats possible, they have funded the organizations Animal liberation front and Environmental liberation front which are BOTH recognized as domestic terrorist by the united states.

so....yeah that may work, because im all for freedom of speech, but not for terrorism, harassment, and animal cruelty (yes PETA has harmed more four legged animals than any other group EVER, and that INCLUDES hunting clubs)

 

[immortalfrieza]

I would have seen this coming, if I still gave a shit about anything P.E.T.A. said.

No kidding, in fact for me it's at the point where I can't even remember anymore anything that hasn't been completely retarded that PETA has ever said in it's entire existence.

 

[idarkphoenixi]

If you told me that PETA was going to find offense with Super Mario, one of the most popular and family friendly characters around...I'd laugh in your face. Even PETA wouldnt find offense with mario, surely...Oh wait.

 

[poleboy]

Hatin' on Mario? Really? Wow, these guys obviously have no clue about what Nintendo fanboys are capable of.

 

[CM156_v1legacy]

Hunh. I read this while I was wearing my leather jacket.

Yeah. I see nothing wrong with wearing animals. PeTA: You're stupid. I'm sorry. No, wait. I'm not. You are nearing the WBC level of incomprehensibly.

 

[Scarim Coral]

My reaction-
No one told them that Mario is a computer game character which therefore he does not exist in the physical plain including the suit and the supposely killed raccoon he had skinned to aquire the suit ability. In another word, no real raccoon were harmed in the first place. I mean afterall when does a raccoon fly?
Beside I highly doubt the game promote skinning animals in the first place and honestly where were they when he did worn the suit for the first time?

 

[Misho-]

Well, the Tanooki suit makes a lot more sense in Japan since it's part of their folklore. It's like a priest or something that can turn into a statue and gives good luck. Other times he looks like a big Raccoon... But hey, that makes no sense so being as uninformed and aggresive as I can I'll just accuse an icon of being pro fur to accomplish what?

 

[Iggy Rufflebar]

I just played the game and that super chick brothers game, damn now I want a double cheeseburger.

Another reason to get mad at peta!

PPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTAAAAAAAAA! *shakes fist in anger*

 

[i love headcrabs]

I don't want to live on this planet anymore

Peta y u know stfu

 

[mb16]

peta what if a bear/shark/tiger eats me, is that ok?
"well its in the bear/shark/tigers nature"
oh so you are placing humans above animals, because supposedly we know better?

peta is speciesist against predators!

see i can make you random ballsh-t as well




also: i was look at the PETA site to see what bullsh-t they are feeding people . And i saw this "Europe's Sexiest Vegetarians 2011 ? Winners Announced". really?

 

[Wintermoot]

PETA stop you are embarrassing yourself even more then a old guy that just lost both bowel control just complain about hunting games or the meat industry.
PS
also have there ever bin implication he SKINS raccoons? he gets the power up from a leaf not a raccoon.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

Funny how PETA hasn't gotten onto Call Of Duty for the suicide dogs.

Or how the characters snap their necks.

 

[Dragonforce525]

Don't you idiotic gamers know how many polygons were slaughtered to make Mario's suit!?

Seriously though PETA have gone from "rambling old man" to "crazy homeless guy" and have now officially crossed over to "shit smearing mental patient". I know this is just some goon thinking up any reason to stir up some delicious controversy, but the second you go from trying to save baby seals to a fictional character's raccoon suit, the phrase "any publicity is good publicity" no longer applies, all it does is turn away potential PETA followers and makes anyone unfortunate enough to be members look even crazier to their non PETA friends/family, I no longer find this funny, I just feel sorry for PETA members who joined PETA for noble reasons and are now being destroyed by their own group because of some insane cry for attention.

 

[AtmaPhil]

well wtf I played their stupid mario ripoff for 2mins and you also get an animal suit in the same way mario does (AKA not from an animal). That makes their whole argument hyprocite.

 

[Vykrel]

rather than targeting Mario, why not target the people that actually skin animals alive? why does PETA pretend to find these issues important while they do nothing to help.

 

[Royta]

For the first time on my time on the internet, I actually really facepalmed. This is just laughable.

 

[Aidinthel]

I have said it before and I will say it again: PETA is insane. I simply do not understand how a reasonable person can say this stuff.
