PETA Unleashes Super Tofu Boy

[TAGM]

I... I'm fucking speechless. Mother. Fucking. Speechless.

Will PETA ever stop ripping off popular gaming and saying "MEAT CHARACTER! IS BAD! GRR! PLAY AS CHICKEN INSTEAD!" Hell, if someone ran into their building with a flamethrower and tourched the place, I'd be amazed if some people DIDN'T blame videogames at some point.

Hey, I got the Cooking Mama thing. It was teaching kids how to make meat-based products (Well, not really, but still.) And PETA finds that a no-no. And the whole "MARIO! SMASH HIM!" Sort of made sence - the guy jumped on turtles and punched dinos/dragons in the head. But this? For all we know, Meat Boy's a blob of human flesh - and he's trying to save a fucking BAND-AID. You know, A THING FOR HELPING WOUNDS. You know, like THE EXACT FUCKING OPPOSITE OF CAUSING THEM. As in, THE THING PETA FUCKING WANTS.

Why doesn't PETA get that all these video game ripoffs, gory vids and titties aren't doing a god-damn thing to help their case that they're smarter then "THOSE FUCKING MEAT-EATING PRICKS?" Hell, I can do a better advert then them!

 

[TAGM]

they probably would if not for the bad PR
a very good friend of mine is vegan and he frequently complains about how, because of PETA, people think of him as a fanatic nutjob who wants to force his believes on everybody else

As a vegetarian, I get the same bullshit, especially on this forum.

Look, I have no love for PETA, but hell, I can't help but look at this and laugh, and hell, considering people are getting so upset over this, I can't help but feel that PETA succeeded in their mission.

PeTA are people who create campaigns like "Your mommy kills animals!", aimed towards children. And this is just an example. Seriously, anything they do needs to be crucified!

How you can think that's not hilarious is beyond me...

Er, dude? Last time I checked, PETA's mission was to convince people to go vegan, not piss them off. I mean, if PETA's goal the whole time was to just piss meat-eaters off untill they wanted to run around the building with a chainsaw, then yeah, mission accoplished, but that isn't exacaly convincing, now is it?

As for the poster, it's funny untill you realise that it really IS being sent to CHILDREN. Children are seeing that. Personaly, the thought of that isn't particularly ammusing, but then again, I'm not really a fan of shadenfruader, (Or however you spell it) so... Yeah.

I've always had a special place in my heart for PETA. As a member of the ASPCA and someone who has put in volunteer time helping stray animals, i have always wanted to put my foot through the head of those PETA fuckers. I'm trying to get stricter legislation against puppy mills passed on a federal level and these stupid fuckers are off making tofu boy and protesting the president killing a fly. With how ridiculous they are, they're only a hindrance to real animal rights advocates.

But their irrational hatred of any meat product and bizarre worship of tofu, which i honestly viewed as a stand alone dish and have never used as a meat substitute since my girlfriend is still willing to eat eggs, is just plain stupid. Tofu is soybean curd. Largely flavorless. Humans are naturally omnivores and have a primal craving for meat. Just accept it as human nature and stop trying to demonize meat products, would you kindly?

1.) Eating an animal is worse than eating a plant

How can that not be argued? Evidence, please. If it's a fact, it needs evidence.

Of course, that statement has annoyed me anyway. Now I'm gonna eat a cow. Just a little bit. But I'm gonna make sure it's one cow killed. Because needless waste in the name of contempt turns me on.

 

[Double A]

Do don't get it, do they? If people didn't eat animals, not only would many starve to death, or die of malnutrition due to unavailable dietary replacements, their precious cows would die too. There would be little reason to keep them around, other than for milk and cheese (and if PETA had its way, those would be illegal too. Vegans are fucking crazy, cows need to be milked, or they die), so they would be set free... only to starve and/or be eaten in the wild. Same goes with other farm animals, and even deer... if hunters didn't kill so many, they would become overpopulated, die, and then be eaten by some hungry animal (like another deer). Then that animal might get sick if the first deer was around for too long, and then it would die, and be eaten, and so on and so on. Oh, and not to mention the deaths would be horribly agonizing, as opposed to a quick death delivered from a rifle. It wouldn't be as much as a problem if wolves hadn't been killed so much, but protecting your family and food is more important to basically everyone who isn't a wackjob PETA activist, so they killed (and will continue to kill) wolves to do this.

 

[redeemer09]

And now, this thread will be filled with people calling fire and brimstone upon PETA, whilst to me, this looks more like a rather humorous parody, sure, it's got a motive, but hell, it's not like they've just initialized a campaign to kill all meat eaters on the planet...

not yet ....

 

[Retardinator]

This deserves both rage AND a lawsuit. How come those fuckheads always make their way around the law?

 

[Kraiiit]

Hah. I've tried tofu, and it made me gag. I'm going to play their game while eating a hot dog, just for the hell of it. Meat- mm-mm.

 

[darksakul]

PETA is also the NUMBER ONE euthanizers of animals.
Seriously, PETA owns a huge Freezer that is only used for 1 of 2 things, containing cuts of meat or cadavers (dead bodies) regardless how you look at it, that translates to dead animals (Check their PUBLIC TAX RECORDS, all non-profit organizations have their tax info as public domain).

Why you ask, PETA takes on more animals than they can handle and they euthanize more than half of (if not more) what they take in to shelter. More so than the American Humane Society (a legit animal rights group) who only euthanize animals when injuries or illness of an animal is more than what Veterinary medicine can help with. Also PETA (considered by many) believe to be connected to domestic terrorist/ criminal groups such as the Animal Liberation Front (according to the US Dept of Justice).

 

[BGH122]

Please let me know when the collective members of PETA release their malfunctioning brains all over a wall. Until then I couldn't care less about this group's half-arsed, ill thought out, pseudo-philosophical politicking.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a total carnivore, I eat more meat in a month than probably the entirety of the country of India.

I'm just saying that for this guy to argue that a plant suffers like an animal does, when a plant has no brain or conscious thought is insane. I'm not saying eating meat is a bad thing to do, just that from a moral standpoint if anything it is slightly worse than eating plant material.

That said, it's nature, biological life is sustained by killing and consuming eachother, and nobody should apologize for eating meat.

Meat Boy kidnaps Bandage Girl, thus turning her into Bondage girl (I had to. I really did)

I have yet to play Super Meat Boy. I need to download it now though, I suppose. Then again, the last popular platformer I downloaded (Braid) ended up forgotten within the first 48 hours.

I have to be honest. When I read the description I thought it said "Bondage Girl" the second time around.

 

[NardBasket]

Well incoming rage in 3... 2.... 1....

I fucking hate Peta, bunch of self righteous a-holes. How about instead of getting mad about digital content they go help animals that aren't pixels? I bet the guys in a single episode of Animal Rescue on Animal Planet have done more than Peta has in 15 years.

Why can't we all have this simple rule, if you have a full fridge and belly don't tell others how to eat.

Amen!

 

[MaxwellEdison]

As someone who actually cares about animals, screw you, PETA.

They took the cause "don't hurt cute animals" and made it into a SOCIAL STIGMA. How can you possibly suck THAT badly at your cause? Only you, PETA, only you.

 

[Mrsoupcup]

Whos up for a all meat barbecue outside PETA HQ? no bread no dressing, just fat, juicy, meat.

So we need some ribs, chicken, steak, pork, burgers, and maybe a few other things. Any volunteers to bring some?

OT: PETA= fail

I'll bring all beef franks and the burgers

Your forgeting the delicious tender veal.

 

[Mrsoupcup]

No, they euthanize most of the animals they adopt.

Holly shit thats funny, Peta is actaully causing more harm than I thought. (You know besides them being assholes)

It's funny too since there are animal rescue places that try to rehabilitate animals....

 

[captainwolfos]

Am I the only one who sees the irony in the whole 'meat is murder' thing, when a sentient blob of tofu is going to beat Meat Boy round the head with a celery stick?

Making parody games... Eh, I just don't see how it's relevant to educating people in animal cruelty. That said, I also don't see the relevance of getting people to parade cities completely naked apart from a bear mask, but that's just me.
Like I've said many times before, PETA mean well (for the most part, at least), but they're going about it all wrong.

Still, the meat in this is of unknown origin. When the original game's developers announce that it's human meat, they'll have PETA off their backs, at least. Because who cares about humans?
