So...yeah.

Why wouldn't I?
I could tell you the exact same thing. DO you honestly believe they want people to stop playing pokemon because it's animal, albeit fake ones, cruelty?

Condescension can go both ways...

I was wondering when peta would get on pokemon

No, but I can still disrespect them and think they're dumb shits.

Normally when you make that argument it's because I said you couldn't... are you just posting for the sake of posting?

No. I'm just putting up an opinion without going in depth about how I support their cause but believe they go about it the wrong way. I mean, as previously mentioned, they attacked Mario and now Pokemon. When they do this, it just makes them look even worse than the people who actually commit animal abuse, which is a social taboo already. They're just beating a dead horse, in my opinion.

So an organization's actions against a franchise ≥ the actions of animal abuse?
Animal abuse is not a taboo and in some areas it is extremely accepted because it sometimes viewed as entertainment. For example dog/cock fighting,bull fighting, bear baiting, and so on.
The only reason why people care is because they grew up on the series, which they still play and will protect it.

I don't know which organ this hurt more, my brain or my heart.

Something about seeing pikachu covered in blood..

I'm wondering what would pikachu taste like.

:(

I wonder what snivy would taste like.

Chicken

Considering it's a grass type... It'd taste like hippie.

hmmm chicken


Is snivy a snake?

Now what would jynx taste like?

Surprised they took so long.

What does that have to do with me or what I said? I didn't ask for your position, my statement doesn't indicate how you should feel about them, why are you reiterating your point to me, unless you're using my statement to make a general point to the rest of the public, in which case you aren't talking to me. So I ask again: are you just posting for the sake of posting?

I stand corrected because I'm not the best with explaining my reasons.



That’s out of context. I do not think animal abuse is of lesser importance than an organization's attack against a franchise. Animal abuse is wrong, in my opinion, and I do not support it.



No one can say it's the only reason why people care because, naturally, we associate with things that we a familiar with and can relate with our lives. There are many reasons people would lash out or criticize this, like it's overly graphic nature which, in a sense, kind of goes against the message they're trying to send.

The message is that people should stop violence against animals. What they try to do with this is make a mockery out of animal abuse, however it just presented distastefully so it comes off a bad rip off of Pokemon with an emphasis on violence. I don’t believe it was a good move; however they have certain points that are sometimes overlooked.

Something like this game is, to a degree, attacking a part of our culture (I italicized this because the culture varies depending on what group you choose to examine), which is why there is a backlash against it, just like Mario.



Yes, it is. However, you're right that it isn't viewed as a taboo by everyone. I hate watching it, but others do. It is generally a taboo in the U.S.A (which does vary depending on the state and prominent culture), however there are places globally that accept animal abuse.



I answered your question when I said “No.” It’s the first sentence of that post. I just didn't separate it from the rest of my post, which is directed at the general public. Sorry if you didn't pick up on that. How about I reiterate it?

NO!

A dick?

Cruz?

Cruz is an ass.
Mantis is a dick.
I'm just a pussy.
