Straight from the animal rights version of Conservapedia. Well, at least Mario has a history of animal rights abuse? Though in that game, he was clearly the villain.

The only thing I'm offended by is their lack of game design sense.

    They've attacked Cooking Mama, Meat Boy, and Mario, yet they ignore the obvious target?

    It seems to be randomly generated, and I can't get past a few seconds anyway.

    The obvious explanation for PETA is that they are actually a group of particularly dumb role-players engaged in some kind of weird RPG in which they have to pretend to be animal rights activists. Nothing else could explain the level of annoying dipshittery involved. Let's hope the guy running the game finally gets sick of it and drops rocks on the party soon.

    I can understand a group like PETA being this stupid, but it disturbs me that PETA has money.

    Well, I guess there's no shortage of massively stupid religious and political organizations with even more money.

    ^^^ Well, that or they actually think there's no such thing as bad publicity and that getting their name out there, even if it is attacking something as cherished and harmless as Mario is a good thing. Hell, what's next PETA? Gonna say that Minnie Mouse promotes testing cosmetics on animals? I bet if you can work Mickey into that one you'll get a whole lot of publicity.

    They just noticed now?

    After 23 freaking years???
  • TachikazeTachikaze
    They probably noticed it sooner, but it's more controversial to make this sort of ridiculous claim about something that just came out.

    Though why they're focusing on this and not his turtle stomping, giant mole abuse or enslavement of dinosaurs is beyond me...because those are all about as valid as saying that using a magical leaf to put on a costume is murdering or condoning the murder of innocent animals.

    Wait, this is news to you guys?

    I knew about it for a while =/



    Now, when the fuck are they going to target Pokemon?
  • RedEyedAbyssRedEyedAbyss
    If the resulting parody is going to be as bloody as Cooking Mama, I hope it's soon (though realistically, they'll probably wait for the next game). Seriously, bloody eggs. Bloody brilliant.

    I can't stop seeing one of the background mountain things as Finn.

    Anyhow, saved my skin. The stupid racoon could fall faster, and those 2-3 holes side by side and those three coins (or whatever) before the wall can screw themselves.

    ^^ There is already a parody. A skinless tanuki has to chase down a flying Mario in it (Mario is wearing the skin)

    In fact, it's already been talked about in this thread
  • TachikazeTachikaze
    According to the person I first heard about this from (brentalfloss) they've realised how terrible of an idea going after Mario is and are dropping it.
  • RedEyedAbyssRedEyedAbyss
    ^^I was talking about Pokemon.

    ^ Ah. Then I am an idiot
  • BeeBee
    Let's give PETA some credit.  Propaganda aside the Tofu Boy game was actually half-decent.
  • RedEyedAbyssRedEyedAbyss
    Aside from the awful controls, but I guess the original Meat Boy's weren't so tight either. Still, Super Tofu Boy's controls are even worse than that. But they did manage to get Tommy Tallarico over, even if the looping is poor.

    If that don't work, use more gun.
    PETA says it was a joke.  Ahahaha- I DON'T SEE ANYONE LAUGHING!

    Oh, look, PETA knows how to backpedal

    I didn't think they knew how to do that

    Fridge Brilliance:

    So they attack Mario for wearing fur.  Mario takes a hit, and promptly loses the fur.

    Eh. Not as funny as the Cooking Mama one. I'll never forget when she cracked open the eggs and there was blood inside. That's not how eggs work.

    Or the chicken one were you're trying to save Pamela Anderson.

    I wonder what a Pokemon parody by PETA would be like?

    MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!
    It wasn't a joke, so much as it was a bid for attention. PETA hasn't been in the news for awhile and gamers and a particularly irritable bunch
