File talk:Mario Kills Tanooki.jpg

Jesus fuck, that's scary. RoninMacbeth (talk) 18:41, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I found it hilarious because it's so absurdly tasteless and not well-researched at all, as they were attacking Super Mario 3D Land and not the massive cultural hit Super Mario Bros. 3. 18:44, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I mean, yeah, it's as tasteless as anything PETA does related to video games (i.e., very), but still. I honestly find PETA somewhat scarier than I find them funny, mostly because they just do so many horrible, tasteless things (beer is healthier than milk, anyone) with seemingly no regard for their effects on humans.

 * Well, they didn't really do anything harmful to Mario otherwise, so that's a relief. Even at the time, people already thought Mario is some psychotic psychopath (Game Theory's rubbish, anyone; constant "jokes" of how Mario is an animal abuser through killing turtles and abandoning dinosaurs for second jumps, though let me nerd out and say that Mario did keep DK/Cranky/DK's ancestor in a cage back then and used a whip). I find PETA to be a detriment to animality (yes that includes the human animal); they're professional trolls that appeal to the lowest common denominator or depict beloved cultural icons in shocking ways if their campaigns are anything to go by. 19:19, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
 * PETA: The main reason why animal rights activists aren't taken seriously anymore. 19:22, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Animal Liberation Front didn't help at all. But anyhow, the moment people start attacking my man, then it's a problem. 19:26, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
 * To be fair, historically there have been issues with the Mario franchise. However, those are primarily Sociological and storytelling concerns (Peach either needs better security in her castle or Nintendo needs better plot design, or both.) and literally have nothing to do with what PETA tends to fixate on. 19:31, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I think most Mario fans don't really care about story in Mario. I think Peach is somewhat having more of a role, though she's still kidnapped in Mario Odyssey. I think she's one of the most boring Mario characters though. 19:58, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
