PETA turns its attention towards Pokémon

[isbragg]

PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, have pointed their fingers at Pokémon. With this comes a parody game, similar to what they did when they were attacking Super Mario 3D Land's Tanooki Suit. There is a screenshot of the game here. The game itself can be played here. (Very NSFW, you have been warned)

PETA... *sigh*. PETA, do you know the meaning of "fantasy" and "adventure" and even the phrase "video game"? When you put them all together, it essentially means "this never happened and will never happen." Were you all brainwashed as kids so you think any sort of human interaction with animals is the worst sin imaginable and therefore no man should ever dare touch an animal without special permission from you, PETA?

But how could PETA have missed the obvious spin-off of themselves in Pokémon Black and White? Team Plasma is essentially the Pokémon world's PETA, where TP is trying to get everyone never to interact with Pokémon while they hypocritically break their own cardinal rule of never interacting with Pokémon.

Why don't we see these people going after professional boxing? I don't watch the anime, but I know that the plot antagonizes people that abuse pokemon, as does the game itself. I guess that's not good enough, huh?

[isbragg]

Now that I am allowed to voice my opinion here, I will. PETA has gone after all the wrong ideals. It's a wonder they are still around. Can't they learn to go after issues that actually happen in reality and stop living in a fantasy world?

[Twiggy]

When someone posted images of this wretched "parody" on some other forum without warning, I found myself in severe need of brain bleach and Zorua time. There are some things that should never existed in the fisrt place, and this is definitely one of them. Nightmares, huh?

[NismoZ]

It's a known fact by this point that PETA is just hopeless with this kinda stuff. I wouldn't really expect any less from them. Anyone remember the whole SM3DL debacle?

[Yoshi648]

PETA cares more about publicity stunts (such as this) then actually doing stuff to save animals (Fact: They euthanize more animals then they "set out" to save)

[GalliumGrant]

I am both horrified and amused by that spin-off of Pokémon Black and White. Seeing Cheren covered in blood was bad***. I kinda loved every second of it. x3

Still, I don't know much about PETA, but I find this whole conflict totally fascinating. I guess that spin-off really caught my attention.

[Fubab_107]

Everyone has already said what I was going to say, so I only have 1 thing on my mind.

What took them so long?

[Shiny]

I was more traumatized by the videos of animals being abused.

WHAT KIND OF A PRIZE IS THAT

[JeffTheKiller]

Let them do what they want. No one takes them seriously. I myself am a member of PETA. Not that sissy group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. People for the Eating of Tasty Animals has a lot more pull then the first one.

Well, I actually played it after I heard about it this afternoon
that game assaulted my eyes...
PETA...You Dun Goofed, Again

[Velociraptor78]

Here's a short list of questions and opinions I have about this;

• How did PETA even get the rights to make a game like this?
• If you actually play the game, they get a lot of details wrong. (One of them; Ash's Pikachu doesn't even have a Poke Ball anymore. And I suppose PETA is willing to overlook the fact that in the anime Ash made many offers for Pikachu to go free, and that Ash isn't even IN the games. No, Red is not Ash.)
• Oh gosh, the non-Pokemon scenes make me sicker than the regular game.
• Pikachu holding a sign that says "I love Team Plasma" is just hilarious.

And oh boy, I just love PETA's work ethic.
"Hey, I have a great idea on how we can stop animal abuse!"
"Golly, Mister PETA, what's that?"
"Let's just take all of the animals away from people, and kill them so they can't be hurt anymore!"
"OH MY GOSH, THAT IS THE MOST GENIUS IDEA SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME!!"

Seriously, PETA. Seriously. This is just making even more people laugh at you.

Simple.....PETA uses PETA Logic
if we take away your animal so you dont hurt them, we'll hurt them anyway

I've also played the game. Have you seen the moves list? Protest/Group Hug/Petition

Not only do these things not work in real life, they also make you like an idiot. no one wants to gather in a group and chant rhymes. No one wants people to smother them and squeeze the air out of them. That sounds painful. Petition... really? Have those ever truly worked?
