Does anyone even take PETA seriously though?

I like bacon!

Has PETA ever complained about games before? I mean really complained, not made some insane allegory for promo reasons.

Try watching a couple of minutes of that to answer your question..

I played it. It looks like an allegory to me, as with other Nintendo parodies. That Ash battle though, hmmmmm. Still probably said in general, I should replay it.

My mind just can't comprehend that PETA made those flash games to criticise Nintendo, they all have a very different agenda from that, methinks. Unless they really believe that video games are the source of the problem and Tanooki suits in Mario are why people wear fur. But I don't think so.



I kill animals to feed my children...so what!

What is this? Some PR stunt to show how realistic the game is? I googled around and have not found any original article where PETA actually criticize Far Cry. Anyone got a link?

They've condemned ACVI and Far Cry 2 in the past..

Thanks!

I now remember the Cooking Mama "game".  There are often these kind of "news" that sometimes are all made up, where rumors and whishful thinking becomes "reality"

Of course they don't belive that. But it's a good way of profiling themselves. It's like an organization that no one knows, one that advocates less water usage or something similar, will use the very popular Ice bucket challenge to make themselves known by openly critisizing it. It's all PR and business, it's their supporters that are absolutely scary!

Better than killing children to feed your animals.

Yup, exactly my point.



Equality means there should also be women we can kill

I'm serious though, animals, tribal men, hunters.

Oh but wait, that means a certain feminist will spin it to seem like it is against women.

You just can't win. F you peta, and F you other organisations who spoil my games for your need to feel equal.

Maybe feed prisoners to animals to save money on taxes



I wish that instead they'd say "Fuck PETA, we do what's best for the game."
