Poll: Does peta have a valid point with this?No, Peta is just retarded. (684) 95% Yes, Tanooki are living creatures and mario's game hurts them. (37) 5% 721 total votes Your vote: Does peta have a valid point with this? (Vote): Yes, Tanooki are living creatures and mario's game hurts them.
(Vote): No, Peta is just retarded.
So peta officially hates super mario 3D now because it promoted the wearing of fur, particularly the wearing of Tanooki fur. They even went so far as to make a game wear (lol me) you are a skinned dying bleeding raccoon (tanooki) chasing a flying mario who is wearing your skin. Does peta have a point here or are they just looking too far into something. Try the game out, its actually challenging and fun.

Oh wow... this is seriously retarded
|
PETA has always been about publicity and always will. I honestly don't think they give a shit about the mistreatment of animals at all and just enjoy the attention their bullshit gets. This is no different.
|
They never had problems with killing turtles in Mario. Why do they have such a big problem with this. It is fucking retarded if you can't wear virtual animal skin, because it promotes wearing fur. Thats just ridiculous. I don't think any kid will think about wearing animal skin just by playing mario.
Animal activists are sometimes just too narrow minded IMO.
|
EDIT - NVM the game isn't hard, the jump key is just really fudgy, hold it down to jump for miles. Also, I think this is less protesting the tanooki suit as seeing it as a 'clever' way to promote their usual message.
Think of it like the CDC's release of that zombie survival guide.
|
PETA is the same as Westboro, just attention whores looking for publicity. I think it's best we ignore them (while laughing at their stupidity), and let them die slowly. I can imagine the ad campaign
How would you like it if an Italian Plumber wore your skin? PETA protects Tenooki.

That game is actually pretty fun!
But calling mario evil is just /sigh!
Mario is the gaming industry! It was my first game i played, a family game, i remember as kids playing it taking in turns on holiday on the gamboy (the big beefy one) so much fun!
|
So how about people stop posting fucking retarded and pointless threads? General section is full of shit nowadays.
Also stop giving these motherfuckers attention
|
dude don't they know mario always has a beaver hat for flying, donno if thats whats it for but too darn tootin bad hes had it since before they were around @ mario 3 for NES!
|
|
|
When on a mission to rescue the princess, Mario has been known to use any means necessary to defeat his enemy—even wearing the skin of a raccoon dog to give him special powers.
If wearing the skin of a raccoon dog gave me special powers, I would wear it too.
|
PETA crying for attention? Who'da thunk?
Still, I liked their "I'd rather go naked" campaign. At least it gave me a reason to look at their ads.
|
We can eat all the animals we want, but not skin them?
pff
/care
|
I believe here on TL you can find quite a bit of information on PETA that will put them in an ugly light for 99% of the population, considering they preach save animals and dog pounds put way more animals in home than PETA while they only had like 1% turn over rate or some shit?
I remember reading that in one of the articles here. It's weird my sister used to be a part of PETA too =/
|
Sigh Peta. This is just too far and it's like the people who take political correctness to the absurd extreme.
|
Fun game. Challenging but i got my skin back.
19 seconds.
|
Peta are stupid, and nobody should care about their stupid arm-waving, attention-whoring antics. I think a different thread was already opened on this topic, and was closed. I don't think this is a big deal really, just peta being peta.
|
PETA is an idiotic organization. Animal abuse prevention is a good goal, but being total retards like this isn't going to get anywhere but people like us laughing at them.
|
Why do they do this? PETA are their own worst enemy They have a decent enough aim, but they constantly undermine their own authority by engaging in such stupid and pointless attacks on things they obviously have no idea about. Sigh.
|
Thanks to PETA, I actually know what a Tanookie is. I never saw it as okay to wear fur because of the mario suit, I honestly just saw it as a leaf that granted him super powers and made him look cute in a racoon suit.
|
The fact that we are discussing this means that PETA got exactly what they wanted.
Same with their racy super bowl ads every year.
Edit:
LOL@ the "Real Fur Sale" ad at the top of my page when posting this. Fantastic.
|
OMG THE PENGUINSUIT!1!!"! MARIO KILLS PENGUIN!!!111!
AND KILLS FLOWER OMGOMG !!!11!!!
PETA, seriously, shut the fuck up.
|
I would love to see what PETA has to say about the wolves I skinned in Skyrim. Or the horse I bought to see how many mace hits it would take to kill. Or the bear I snuck up on and backstabbed. Or the jackrabbits I pick off with my bow for practice.
Aside from the fact that Mario TRANS-FUCKING-FORMS into the racoon after getting the leaf, PETA is retarded in general anyways. It's amusing to me that they encourage eating meat-free products, usually soy-based, but they don't seem to give two shits about all the small animals that are slaughtered by the combines during harvest (snakes, moles, gophers, field mice, whatever else crawls about in the fields) which are then left to rot in the sun. At least I eat the animals that are killed for me.
|
They already stated that this is a joke!
|
Pity Peta.
They should be focusing on things people might actually support.

They are a disgusting company that puts down more pets than they save ("Any pet that isn't found a suitable home will be put down for their own good"). When a company who claims to care about animals does nothing for them other than run ads on the superbowl that end up getting banned anyway, it's disgusting.
Here's a source in case you are wondering where I'm getting my information: http://www.nokillnow.com/PETAIngridNewkirkResign.htm

I love peta haha!!! they find the most ridiculous of things!
|
PETA is such a joke. I don't know if anyone takes them seriously anymore
|
PETA are just a bunch of radicals who care much more about making noise then actually helping animals. If you truly care about animals then you donate to the SPCA.
|
I loled at that Peta game..and sometimes Peta can be stupid when they have nothing much to report!
|
Damn. These people are stupid. Where were they when Red Dead Redemption was released? I pretty much slaughtered any wildlife I encountered in that game.
|
Imho mario morpsh into a raccoon/human hybrid. He does not skin animals for a cool outfit, he actually gains it's powers.
|
Peta only cares about getting your attention.
|
Wow, they'll do anything for publicity I guess...
|
Love it, game is f'ing hard too! 19 secs so far.
|
Hahaha fucking brainless terrorists
|
i would be more worried about the fact that he kicks turtles off of cliffs, but hey that's me.

Sweet mother of god...
Is PETA really that broke now?
|
I hate PETA, they wear human skin.
remove it IMO
|
peta will hate anything and everything just to get attention. Seriously they are run by a bunch of teenage girls.
it worked though, it got my attention.
|
Hate on mario for wearing fur, make a game about it, get sued into oblivion by nintendo for violating copyright laws. Fun times.
|
I always get stress out when playing these kind of games
|
They did some pretty stupid commercials/games in the past....
They also did realize that their game was not well received. They then said that this game was a joke, that they were Mario-fans themselves. They only tried to get the people's attention, because racoons are being skinned alive.
They succeeded kinda in that last point.

I don't approve their actions tho.

PETA needs to get over itself and just die already. It's such a foul, evil organization.

We still have a Chewbacca suit from a Halloween when we were kids... All that this game has done is make me worried that they might have skinned a real Wookie in order for me to have it. Now I'm worried 
Won't somebody please think of the wookies?!?

I saw this a few days ago and almost made a thread, then I remembered that PETA does this kind of stupid shit constantly. There could be a whole sub forum of PETA inspired threads really.
edit - Apparently this was a joke, I still stand by my statement.
|
It was a joke, so what? It damn well got them the attention and publicity they were after.
|
I said something stupid?
IT WAS ONLY A JOKE GUYZ
|
I think PETA should turn their focus to all the sick people who change the body of their cats with pop tarts and make them shoot rainbows out of their asses. Thats animal cruelty.
|
How about this. Mario is NOT REAL! No animal was harmed here and I doubt mario has influenced anyone to buy fur. PETA a-holes.
|
I wonder if they realize that in super mario 3 he ends up inside a racoon and a frog O.o and isnt there 1 other transformation that is an animal?
Either way, its dumb to jump on this because of mario 3d when its been happening forever. Ppl seem to forget the past till it comes back for some good times.
Its like how comedy central banned all the past episodes with Muhammad after 300 and 301, super best friends had him in there that whole time and no one complained... then suddenly it was an issue. He was at the start of every episode in the crowd of people aswell. Suddenly that's the most heinous thing ever. Ppl are dumb.
oh mang, only read page 1. It was a joke. lols. still point stands ;P
Game is entertaining.

I gave up i tried to save my skin. Im sorry PETA forgive me
|
a lot of things PETA does is just primarily for publicity
|
but the question is...who are the 17 "smart people" that voted that mario is evil? :O
|
need to blow up peta
anyone who cares as much about animals over people as they do is just not right with me
|
PETA should stick to this.
Olivia Munn and Tracy Bingham. Mm hmm.
|
I think it's fine to wear fur if it helps you to save a princess from hands of turtle monsters really.
Also 20 seconds.
|
95% not getting the humour at all and at the same time supporting animal abuse?
wow, thats quite surprising for tl.
kind of spoils the fun a bit.

Oh no, he must of slaughtered a racoon for its ears and tail, and had himself a game of pin the tail on the donkey with his blue nike air overalls just before work!

Wow ... next thing you know - Skyrim gets tosted for the phrase "You'll make a fine rug, cat!". Everyone played as Khajit knows what I'm talking about :D

This sounds like a certain episode of South Park. X_X

As good as i can be assed to get atm, too much random in the game but having to plan for when to gather the coins to optimize end score is kind of an interesting mechanic, especially with the tight margin for error.
|
When I think of jokes, I think they're supposed to be funny. Or an attempt at humor in some fashion. This is plain unfunny and kinda sad really. They're just caricatures of themselves now. PETA is the joke.
|
|
|
Peta is one of the finest examples of a very irrational advocacy group with a large financial motive.
|
Sigh. While I agree with PETAs cause, these things are getting more and more ridiculous. They should focus on the real world problems instead of these.

PETA is retarded but so is OP's biased poll.

I, as an animal rights activist and vegan, can safely say. Yes. PETA are fucking retarded. They pretty much undermine the entire movement unintentionally by getting butthurt about things that have nothing to do with the cause and using the female body as their only sale pitch. It disturbs me quite a lot that people actually think that all vegans are supporters of PETA when in truth I actually dont know a single one who actually likes them, if I did I would know about it since it´s one of those questions that get brought up a lot during discussions and the result are always "Yeah, theyre sort of like our hillbilly cousins".

No, they are not.
PETA are actually dangerous people. It's not funny or entertaining when maniacs get in a position where they can influence others.
People need to ignore PETA entirely, and if they ever do something against the law, charge them to the full extent of the law.
That organization causes more damage to animals than anything else because of the negative image they bring to anyone with similar motives as them. Normal groups that advocate animal protection and want everyone to become vegetarians might be a little crazy somewhere, but at least they aren't terrorists. I hate PETA so much though. I always remember that one crazy english teacher I had that was a supporter of them; fucking nut bag trying to compare a chicken to human life and making us watch a documentary with some lunatic that would rather save a chicken from a burning house than a human.
|
at this point I'm pretty convinced peta is really just a bunch of irl trolls. they can't possibly be serious with the stuff that they release
|
People Eating Tasty Animals.
|
haha i saw this also and died... I agree with others that the best way is to just completely ignore these people, forget them.
|
|
|
Who cares about Peta nowadays lol.
|
mmm im eating a chicken sandwich right now
|
I feel ashamed.
I couldn't beat that game after a whopping 4 minutes of sweaty effort.
Thanks for reminding me why I hate Mario, PETA.
|
Sometimes, if I'm thinking in a really specific way, and I really strain my brain, and think the right thoughts, I can understand PETA, where they come from, and at least some of their tactics-- I can contextualize them as a group of rational people that have some valid points, have reasons for their ideas but just don't share my opinion.
But then stuff like this comes up and shatters it completely. In what universe does this kind of thing help PETA's image or further their goals? This is obviously an attempt at PR, else why make an easy computer game intended for mass consumption?
|
Ok Peta TOO FAR... really taking it to the extreme here... go bother someone else.
I mean I like what they stand for, but they can really be using their resources to stop things that are actually hurting animals rather than just trying to stop some pixels from being displayed.

PETA complains about the mistreatment of animals when they go into farms, then cut all the dogs throats, and then release all the animals into the wild. Those animals don't know how to even survive in the wild, so they all die. In my book, PETA just gets money to be a much of idiots and kill off large sums of animals whom aren't even being mistreated.
|
Pretty dumb. I don't even see what's wrong with fur as long as the rest of the animal is not wasted.
|
Another reason why PETA shouldn't be taken seriously. I mean, the tanookie suit has been around since Super Mario Bros 3, and they're complaining about it now?
|
is it just me or does peta only care about cute looking animals?
this whole organisation seems extremely hypocritical to me. well, thanks for the "rather naked than wearing fur" attention whores every week, i guess.
|
As an easily influenced child, I'm going to go outside and skin a raccoon to gain it's power.
but seriously. WTF Peta. This is just another thing to grab headlines. It goes under the idea that "any press is good press". Even if we are calling them fucking idiots, we're still talking about them...
|
0 seconds! Yay! The game has to give you a good, consistent string of coins to get that though. Your score is highly dependent on what the level generates for you.
|
PETA is a extremist group and what they have to say is best ignored.
Knowing that animal abuse is wrong and recognizing it is common sense for most people. PETA as an organization is superfluous in that people do not need to extremists yelling in their faces for them to realize that animals should be respected.
|
theres alot of more important issues concerning the exploitation of animals. that mario thing is a joke
|
Peta want to do good things in a bad way.

This guy summed up everything you needed to know on the subject, not the first time won't be the last time they do something for attention it's best to just ignore them because like all trolls talking about them just makes them think we care about them.
|
Of the 28 people who voted YES to the OP's poll. 28 are trolls.
|
I'm surprised that PETA still doesn't realize they're being looked down upon for behaving stupidly.
|
Peta doesn't really care about animals, they want publicity
|
Sometimes I feel like PETA is just there to troll the world. Though I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't the case and their leadership was actually that retarded.
|
I liked the game. PETA could be the next big game dev!
|
Jeez, Mario is such an asshole. Good thing PETA finally took my blinders off!
|
I guess they don't take themselves seriously anymore as they seem to realize now people stopped doing that for years
so why not keep trolling and bring some laughter around xD

while I agree that PETA is more harm then good, I find it hard that you cannot realize the humor in the headline "Peta hates on Mario for wearing raccoon fur."
|
The reason why I despise PETA is because they give other animal rights organizations around the world.
|
Wow they just love blood dont they.
|
I've noticed in their little nugget game on their website, you can get a fish suit. PETA is very clearly supporting the abuse and skinning of fish for their skins.

PETA are nuts.
Remember when they wanted ice cream producers to stop using cows milk and instead hire young women to provide human breast milk for the ice cream?
Or when they wanted to change the official name of 'fish' to "sea kittens" so people wouldn't want to eat them (kittens are cute!)?

Personally I found the last Peta publicity stunt I heard about (the porn website) more interesting than this.
Seriously though, it's sad that their reputation has fallen to such a low that everyone just sighs and shakes their heads when they hear about this.
|
the game is like 15 years old and they complain now about it lol ?
|
Wait, I can't beat this game, is this one of those weird games where the point is that you can't win.
|
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/T56lr.jpg)
Can't really add anything other than my opinion which agrees with basically everyone. Peta=attention seeking morons. edit-Look at what came up as soon as I posted on this, can anyone spot it!? :D rofl
|
I hate this BS crap...how about these things die everyday...how do you know it wasn't from a dead one..hate PETA
|
I actually find this whole situation hilarious. Peta has out-done themselves this time, haha.
Games also pretty difficult -- then again, I suck at platformers.
|
OP got trolled by PETA
thats the funniest thing ive read all day ...
|
Oh my god I didn't think this was real. It's not real right? It can't possibly be real?
"Mario fans: Relax! PETA's game was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, a fun way to call attention to a serious issue, that raccoon dogs are skinned alive for their fur," Shakira Croce, PETA's media coordinator said.
PETA insisted it was surprised at how seriously people took the game, but was thrilled that it had brought so much attention to the issue.
Not real
Source
Edit: Omg the game is so fun. If you ever wanted to see Super Mario and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre mashed up you should definitely give it a try! I'm not sure why I should be convinced that killing animals is wrong but I do love me some copyright infringing super mario games!
|
Peta "cares" so much about animals they're willing to ruin the lives of the dominant species to level the playing field. -sigh-
|
you gotta be kidding me lol
I doubt they are serious, though 
|
lol this is kinda ridiculous
im not going to wear fur just because of a video game lol
peta are just ridiculously overeager i think they really need a new image but with actions like that theyre not gonna get good publicity
|
haha the game was quite fun 
|
I actually watched the video, and the part where the Tanooki has been skinned but is still alive is very disturbing. Otherwise i feel this is misplaced anger, and attention whoreing by PETA. As Usual.
|
They either are firm believers in "all press is good press" or they are trying to move their business into some twisted form of comedy.
|
Shouldn't Peta go back to what they do best? Public Exhibition of Titties and Ass?
|
So even though this was a joke, their underlying message is also retarded and without base.
|
Haha, never thought about this.
Hey, at least they do it with humor.

It's working though, here we are discussing the campaign and at some point also reflecting over what wearing fur really means.

I'm not 100% trying to justify this game in any way...but did any of you watch the video that is near the bottom of the page? That shit might get you thinking differently (Not exactly why PETA should make a game and hate Mario...but honestly I could see why they're using this as a means to get the message out there)
|
what happened to that adult website peta was going to operate, was looking forward to that
|
PETA needs to realize that people eat tasty animals (and sometimes wear them). As long as the process in obtaining these things is as humane as possible, then PETA should gfto. Oh, but wait, mario isn't even real! Seriously PETA...find better use of your time.

They say some pretty messed up stuff.
Here are there views on pets, I know a few people find it messed up
http://www.peta.org/about/why-peta/pets.aspx
A lot of people eat meat and peta wants everyone to be a vegan
http://www.peta.org/issues/animals-used-for-food/default2.aspx
You can find the stuff they stand for here
http://www.peta.org/about/why-peta/default.aspx
It is heavily filled with propaganda being the peta site so take everything with grain of salt. They often tell half truths and in some cases what some people would call out right lies.
Please note I have tried to keep my personal views on the subject out of this, I just know these are a few reasons people dislike peta... that and they are good for nothing attention whores. That last bit was me.
