Tofu Never Dies. Sigh

 Anybody who has been keeping up to date on the latest games has heard about Super Meat Boy. And anybody who has been keeping up to date on the latest games newscan’t have missed the story about how much PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) absolutely positively hate Super Meat Boy.

Super Meat Boy is a game currently on X-Box and PC, which tells the tale of a small cube of meat named Meat Boy who must save his girlfriend Bandage Girl from the diabolical Dr Fetus. In response to this, PETA created their version of the game ‘Super Tofu Boy’.

“Meat Boy is a vengeful, bloody cube of rotting animal flesh. And he smells,” were the extremely mature words featured on the PETA website.  In the PETA version of the game, Meat Boy is the bad guy, who goes on a rampage once Bandage Girl dumps him for Tofu Boy.  PETA explains “o nce Bandage Girl slept with Tofu Boy and saw all that he had to offer, it was bye-bye beef, hello bean curd."

To me that says, “PETA doesn’t like people eating meat, but being a hussy is a-ok.” And that’s really not a-ok in my books. Also, to view the game on their website takes you to a violently blood splattered page which looks something like this:

Also, PETA make  numerous references to tofu being tasty, meaning that they have created this allegedly lovable character, who is going to do all these things and become deemed “super”, and then devour him. NOT VERY ETHICAL PETA. Think of all the little Vegan children you’ve just scarred for life.
“But Mummy, I don’t WANNA eat Tofu Boy!”
“Shutup Timmy and eat your beans!”

Animals are life. PETA wants to protect life. But plants are living. And beans are plants. Therefore, aren’t PETA forcing a diet choice on everybody that causes them to eat something that technically goes against what they stand for anyway? Hmmm

I respect PETA and everything they stand for. But it just seems to me that they’ve taken a fantastic idealogy and belief, and completely ruined all their good work by making the general public hate them with stunts like this. Making the population hate you by pushing your diets on them and making them feel guilty for not conforming to your ideals isn’t any way to win fans.

And with that said and done, I think I’m gonna go and grab myself a steak for dinner.

They're adding Tofu boy to the PC version of Super Meat Boy. I'm so excited right now! 
  

I hope the jump button for Tofu Boy is explode and crashes your game in the process.

Don't be jealous because Tofu Boy is better at sex AND treats Bandage Girl better than Meat Boy did. 
 
Also, Animals are not plants. But who cares, anyways, I mean most of the ground "meat" from fast food places comes from human and animal remains...

"How many members of PETA does it take to change a lightbulb?"
 
"None, as PETA cant change anything"
 
That was something that the creators of SMB said that made me chuckle.

"  “Meat Boy is a vengeful, bloody cube of rotting animal flesh. And he smells,” were the extremely mature words featured on the PETA website" 
 
Wait...you....you think they were serious? 0_0 Y-....you don't realise it was just a joke? 
 
I give up.

" @Emilio: The Super Meat Boy guys tweeted about how PETA spent way more money on that throw-away parody than the SMB guys did on SMB. Donation money at work! "

Haha. Oh, PETA.

i think the best part about all this is that meat boy isn't even animal meat. peta lashing out against fictional people who don't have skin

FAT VEGAN PETA MEMBERS. WAT. The "game" is trash. Lets get PETA supporter Tommy Tallarico to do the musics! Really dumb to parody Super Meat Boy. I am still awaiting the Red Dead Redemption parody but I guess PETA doesn't wanna get their ass in trouble from a big publisher.
 
Also great Twitter reply. 
 
After seeing this, I went on to see the PETA episode of Bullshit!

And yet Super Meat Boy has two things that Super Tofu Boy never will: functional controls and good level design. "

I've been doing the whole vegan thing this year while I'm away at college. I don't mind tofu, it's not bad when cooked right. But PETA needs to shut the fuck up. There are zero animals treated unethically in this game. He's a cube of meat. PETA needs to stay away from video games and focus on stuff happening in the real world.

Oh PETA... when it all comes down to it, we'll all be food for the zombies, even Tofu. So stop with the discrimination and stand with us!! 
 
  

Ahahha, oh PETA... 
 
On another note, I love the response from the developer.

I find it hilarious that any mention of the word 'MEAT' makes Peta foam at the mouth.

All this talk about this game is just making me hungry. And not for tofu. GG PETA

There's a tip in the game that says you shouldn't eat things that have eyes.
 
Tofu Boy has eyes.
