Tofu Activists Spoof Meat-Based Indie Game 420
Faulkner39 writes "In response to the recently released independently developed platformer Super Meat Boy, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has released a Flash-based spoof game titled Super Tofu Boy. The spoof attempts to mirror the original by featuring a protagonist made of tofu and an antagonist made of meat in a statement promoting animal rights. Ironically, however, the original game is about a human boy who is vulnerable because he lacks skin (Meat Boy), raising the question: 'is the spoof in reality really about cannibalism?'"
The Super Meat Boy team posted a response on their Twitter feed.
I feel about PETA like PETA seems to feel about me (Score:5, Funny)
They offer downloads for PC and Mac. What, no Linux version? You mean I have to play the version on the website to play in Linux?
If they won't give me Linux Tofu Boy, then I have absolutely no incentive to cease my consumption of meat. Clearly, they don't care about me, so I will continue to not care about them.
I should go have a double down or something later....

Don't you see man! It's like slavery! thinking you can "own" an animal.
We can't "own" our animal equals!
keeping a pet is so like exactly the same as slavery!
or something absurd like that.
either way everyone knows: dogs have owners, cats have staff.
