PETA Unleashes Super Tofu Boy

[HK_01]

I dislike PETA as much as the next guy, but this honestly sounds good-humoured and kind of decent overall. There's none of that obnoxiousness that usually comes with anything PETA-related. I don't know why so many people go and attack them for this.

tried it for a couple of seconds. it`s like meat boy(the newgrounds prototype) only worse and you took away the charm

So... I just though I should inform you all of something you should know.

Tofu is made with Calcium Sulfate... which is also known as Gypsum, or Plaster of Paris (remember that white powder you made models with as a little kid in school?) Once you add water, it quickly dries and becomes solid.

Yea. Knowing that REALLY put me off eating the stuff. Hope it does for you too (though by the sound of it, no-one was about to jump at the chance of eating it anyway)

"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.

 

[TomLikesGuitar]

Haha meat is awesome

It'd sure suck to be pretentious enough to not eat meat.

 

[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...

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.

make Todd Ingrim your next thing not a ripoff game
