Nimbus Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 If they posted something like that, there'd be a reputable newspaper / anime news source / blog that would've called them on it. There isn't, so it's almost definitely fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanahtlig Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I don't see how targeting anime would serve PETA's cause in the slightest. I'm no fan of PETA, but even I recognize a strawman when I see one. Recognizing and understanding the position of your opponent is key to intelligently disarming them. Otherwise you end up sounding like just another partisan idiot. I classify this "reputation" PETA seems to have under aforementioned "preexisting biases".

Getsuya Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Besides, everyone knows if PETA was going to point out any cruelty in hentai it would be to octopi and other tentacled lifeforms. Do you think they WANT to violate schoolgirls all the time? Suzu Fanatic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanahtlig Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I loved the part in the Scare Tactics video when the PETA guy urged for them to leave and come back with guns to shoot the "ratman" that popped out. The question everyone should be asking is why I called BS on the OP yet feel reasonably sure that the ratman video was real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuuko Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 It's kind of amusing that no one here questioned the validity of the source until now. Go read my first post on the first page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be more important to them than money. One of the founders was even quoted saying that it is PETA's obligation to be "press sluts". Making stupid flash games smearing Pokemon and Mario doesn't really serve PETA's cause, but they did it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't hold a dumb attention grab against them unless they actually argued that Pokemon / Mario actually promoted real-life cruelty to animals.

Zenophilious Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 They did. They really, really did. Of course, it didn't surprise me at all. They tried to shame Obama for killing a fly in that interview that went viral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
