PETA Unleashes Super Tofu Boy

[Kuchinawa212]

You go ahead PETA. I'll play the orginal good game then your secound rate hack job.

 

[Fortunefaded]

Discussing PETA and any of their crude and outlandish attempts at creating PR and buzz is like adding fuel to a fire.

 

[Spirultima]

Seriously everytime I see PETA somewhere I honestly think to myself
"God damn, if only FOX were on"

They're that bad!!!

Mother of god XD I didn't think that was possible

 

[Rusty Bucket]

The Super Meat Boy devs have replied with this magnificient tweet:

 

[TaboriHK]

Boy, I can't wait to skip this hack ripoff.

in all honesty, it's actually not half that bad. i don't like PETA but Super Tofu Boy is just as fun as Super Meat Boy.
-Tabs<3-

Well sure, that's how it goes when you steal the game, right? XD

 

[Kirkby]

Anyone else think this is just sad and petty? Also has anyone tried tofu? Vegetarians have some god damn tasty food so y eat something that tastes as bad as tofu

wait, have YOU tried tofu? tofu is by far my favorite food. it absorbs the flavor of whatever its cooked with, so it can pretty much taste like anything. is it the taste you have an issue with, or the consistency?

Yep i tried it in Ramen (Japanese soup noodles) made by pro chefs and so on. Came in about inch cubes and i didnt like anything about it, the texture or the taste, made me feel a bit ill tbh. Though if they absorb the flavour of the food ur cooking with maybe just had it with the wrong thing? IDK but i was very repulsed when i tried it.

 

[Olikunmissile]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE. FUCKING RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE.

SHOW ME YOUR RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

RAGE.

rage.

OK I'm all raged out... Oh wait...

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Fuck off PETA. Go die in a hole. Light yourselves on fire so you don't cost anyone anything.

Aight I'm raged out.

PETA. Go away, we don't tell you how to live. I'll eat a delicious baby cow if I want to. You are free to make YOUR life choices, you have no right to make mine for me.

LOL Raging Raven for the Win me boy!

I'm wonderfully glad someone got that

First off, there's no way plants can "feel" with a consciousness (or at least a shadow of one) like animals do, it's just not possible.

Again, look it up. The study involved tomato plants, two men, a machete, and a polygraph. I've only seen it in textbooks, though. It's amazing how little we still know of what constitutes "consciousness".

Secondly, plants are a "living thing" and I can't imagine that you're about to argue that beams of sunlight are "corpses of other living things"

Sunlight isn't all plants need to survive. They also need soil (or some sort of nutrient-laden water additive)... made of decomposed living things.

But don't worry, I'm not gonna start singing "The Circle of Life".

Do you have any idea how a polygraph works? It works based on variations in HEARTBEAT.

Seriously, HEARTBEAT. Think about that in the context of trying to use one on a plant.

Secondly, yes they require nutrients, minerals, and water, all of which can come from animal excrement rather than decomposed bodies.

 

[One of Many]

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

 

[Arachon]

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...

actually, it's based on more than that... blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and skin conductivity.
Electrical impulses stemming from chemical reactions.

Secondly, yes they require nutrients, minerals, and water, all of which can come from animal excrement rather than decomposed bodies.

It can come from animal excrement (which, by the way, contains living cultures, and is made from other living things)... but generally, it's not just made from excrement.


okay, I'm done, this is waaay off topic now.

On topic: LOL PETA.

If my future child ever runs to me crying "YOU KILL POOR BUNNIES", I will definitely slap Newkirk. Several times.

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)

Um.....food scientist here. Would like you to know that the amount of gypsium is quite low. And it provides a good source of calcium together with the protein. So stop scaremongering. Tofu is good and so is meat. What if i told you that Skittles and some fruits are coated with bug juice hmmm????

Stuff PETA (pun intended). Ill eat what i want.

Both points are very true.
Yes, I knew that skittles and smarties have food colourings that are made from crushed beetle carcasses. Did you know that all kinds of gummi sweets, marshmallows and everything containing geletin are not so healthy for you? Moreso than most think as geletin is basically crushed and boiled animal joints that's left to congeal and solidify :3

I know this shit too...

 

[Ironic Pirate]

Fucking PETA...

Have they ever actually done anything other than embarrass themselves?

They've killed a lot of animals, firebombed some scientists and tried to shut down pounds.

Wait, killed animals? Isn't that one of the things they dislike?

Was it accidental?

yeah, what its cooked with is a huge part of the taste. ive never been crazy about how tofu tastes when cooked with soup. i generally think it tastes best when stir fried. i do agree that the texture takes some getting used to, though

No, they euthanize most of the animals they adopt.

Huh. I never knew that, thanks.

It appears that plants do react to physical trauma (in the case of the classic study: Burning leaves) by changes in conductivity, but there is no evidence that this isn't just an autonomic chemical defense mechanism rather than any sort of consciousness.

Also, are you seriously arguing that excrement contains corpses and so plants must live off of consuming others just like everyone else. Come on, that is so far removed from the fact that it's ridiculous.

Two things that shouldn't even be argued:

1.) Eating an animal is worse than eating a plant
2.) PETA are fucking crazy.

soooooooooooooooo...............





Can we section them yet?

No not colourings. Its the glaze. And again, everything in moderation. Gelatin is just collagen, everytime you eat say meat you are taking in collagen at the same time. Sure there can be weird stuff present thta come from the animals diet or whatever but thats an accepted risk and there are strict screening processes for it.

Im just saying, just because a certain ingredient is used in a totally different way which may or may not be related to consumables does not mean that its bad or unhealthy or will totally destroy your life if you eat it.
