PETA Unleashes Super Tofu Boy

[Whichi]

"Meat Boy is a vengeful, bloody cube of rotting animal flesh. And he smells" the PETA website explains.

More childish banter.

"After a short-lived fling with Bandage Girl (sympathy dates, really), he became enraged when he was dumped for the tasty and satisfying Tofu Boy. Once Bandage Girl slept with Tofu Boy and saw all that he had to offer, it was bye-bye beef, hello bean curd."

I love how PETA loves to take a simple nonsense story, that most players probably didn't care for, and turn it around into some sort of propoganda crusade. Not to mention that PETA depicts women as scadalouos whores who will find reason to fuck and stick with "Healthy Option A" because vegetarians and vegans are obviously the superior breed of humans, right?

Maddox deals with vegans in his Hate mail in Episode 1 of the best show in the universe.

I swear to god every time I hear about PETA I want to murder a koala. I am fucking sick of them.This is VERY no exception.

Besides that, how do they know meat boy is made of animal meat?

EDIT: Also I really want to see what Team Meat have to say about this. I'm sure it will be something hilarious, knowing indie developers.

 

[Anti-Robot Man]

PETA are morons, even if you believe in their cause (which I don't) this is just a waste of time and money. They really do seem to prefer trolling to actually helping animals.

 

[AngryMongoose]

Lol.
How long 'til there's an anti abortionist one where you play the kind Professor Foetus?

 

[Crowser]

You know I almost wouldn't be pissed at this if they managed to mirror that adorable hand drawn style that SMB had... but that cover looks like shit.

 

[Megacherv]

So far, the only Pro-Vegan thing I've seen is from Scott Pilgrim, and well, when all it takes to beat you is one drop of non-vegan approved products, that's more of a very heavy con.

Too bad they didn't release this on Thanksgiving though, I think I ate half a ham that night, which is way more satisfying than some bland piece of... white stuff (and I already had my fill of that with potatoes).

Hell yeah man, you eat that meat. I once ate an entire (small) chicken to myself because it was cheap and to prove that I could. Today I had a Burger King XL Bacon Double Cheeseburger, and it was awesome.

I want to go eat some meat now...ooh, there's some beef in the fridge!

 

[zHellas]

So I had this girlfriend that got REALLY pissed at me for eating veal with Peta Bread.

OT:

Huh... Maybe it'll be good.

I doubt it though.

Was that pun intentional, or just terrible?

It was a joke by Bo Burnham.

 

[ModReap]

Considering that I played the first flash meat boy and enjoyed it thoroughly, all I can say to PETA is that, even though I admire your ideals, you really should just DIE IN A *bleeping* FIRE

 

[shadowstriker86]

ah you gotta love the pretentiousness of peta, but then again, anyone who actually likes peta should watch the episode of bullshit with penn and teller where they expose them as frauds

 

[xmbts]

Ah PETA, your shenanigans know no bounds. Seriously stop pretending your in it for anything other then money and publicity.

 

[Byere]

ah you gotta love the pretentiousness of peta, but then again, anyone who actually likes peta should watch the episode of bullshit with penn and teller where they expose them as frauds

Dude, I watched that episode... Totally agree with you there!

 

[ayylamao]

*sigh* First "Killing Mama" And now this? Really? just stop...

 

[duchaked]

*sees title*
"you've got to be f*ing kidding me"

*sees article*
"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE-ok lol forget it I'm just gonna go back to my whatever it was I was doing before"

PETA: Taking simple games and turning them into propaganda since 1867.

 

[SenseOfTumour]

Tofu Boy? I wish to register a complaint about how tasteless this game is.

C'mon, someone had to say it

Here's my view of a balanced argument on both sides

Vegans : 17 pages of diatribe about cruelty, environmental issues etc, with a powerpoint presentation and whalesong soundtrack...

Meat Guys: The BK XL Bacon Double Cheese Burger. That is all.

 

[vanthebaron]

make Todd Ingrim your next thing not a ripoff game

 

[Bloodstain]

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...

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!

 

[Palademon]

Surely the fact they are beating up a living piece of meat is hypocritical.

EDIT: and leaving your boyfriend after sleeping with the supposed better guy is such a good image.

 

[fgdfgdgd]

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.

Funny story, PETA also funds a small non-profit organisation called the 'Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine' which is highly quoted in mainstream media. It's also runs 'The Cancer Project' what do all these things have in common? They all are advocates of a total vegan diet to keep people healthy and apparently ward off cancer >.> yeah, not subtle at all, but still, who ever said you couldn't buy an expert opinion? like their physicians' health advice on every medical problem from arthritis to PMS centers on removal of meat and animal products. Seriously, screw PETA, i like animals too, but they're still delicious. *Takes a bite of some bacon*

I don't really see what their beef (haha) with super meat boy is.
Meat exists, and meat boy is made out of it. You could have replaced him with a piece of broccoli and the game would be pretty much the same.

I guess what I'm trying to say is playing super meat boy does NOT make me want to eat meat.
