Nintendo Sued By PETA VP? Parody News Discussion Allowed

Postby The Serbian Empire » Sat Oct 26, 2013 5:03 pm

Pokemon has long been a target of PETA and has released parodies of Pokemon games. However, that is not why I am here to speak on this issue. There is a particular member of the PETA leadership who broke her daughter's gaming system over Pokemon. In fact, this PETA member identified as Kathy Guillermo has been claiming to be so traumatized by the Pokemon anime that she has met with lawyers to sue Nintendo and McDonald's over promoting Pokemon. So NSG, do you think this lawsuit is frivolous?

Myself, I find this lawsuit not just frivolous but comedic as one can now go hunting in Grand Theft Auto for example.

Note: This is a parody site as my source. So if one wants to talk about parodies passing as news in this thread then I will consider that as on topic as well.

I'm surprised this is happening when there's a perfectly adequate opportunity to sue over showing the American youth sexualised imagery vis a vis' Serena's permanent pantyshot when she's on rollerblades in Pokemon x/ y.

This wasn't a spoof article?
In sixteenth-century Europe, the disease of virgins, or green sickness, was seen as a common disorder affecting young unmarried girls. Its symptoms included weakness, dietary disturbance, lack of menstruation and most significantly, a change in skin colour. Understanding of the condition turned puberty and virginity into medical problems, and proposed to cure them by bloodletting, diet, exercise, and marriage. - The Disease of Virgins, a book I saw a promo for while trying to learn how babies are made.

Remember kids, killing fantasy animals is far more dangerous than actively hunting in games like Red Dead Redemption, Deer Hunter, etc.. I once killed my cat trying to shove it into a metal sphere once. I'll never forgive myself for playing Pokémon games . . .

The part where she says "My kid could have become a serial killer, or worse, an animal abuser" indicates to me that it's parody.

Although I don't doubt there's a percentage of PETAns that would think that.

PETA continues to be batshit insane. In other news, shocking new revelations that the Bishop of Rome may in fact be Catholic.
I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

Well first off I feel really sorry for the boy who spent all the money on the 3ds as a gift and had it destroyed and cant see the girl anymore.

Secondly, this bitch is crazy. There isnt any other way of putting it. The lawsuit she is filing is one of the dumbest lawsuits I have ever seen. Its like watching a car add which promotes the cars saftey, then suing that car company for making her feel unsafe in other cars.

Joke article is joke article

Sources also say that Guillermo recently filed for divorce after catching her husband hiding in the bathroom on the toilet playing the game. He apparently told her to “fuck off” as he was about to catch a Shiny Mr. Mime.

:clap:

The husband is now one of my favourite human beings.

I now have a great idea. Why don't we take the Genwunners and PETA, get them to fight each other so that the actual pokemon fans can enjoy the game instead enduring complaints from both groups.

PETA seems to have some kind of thing against Nintendo. While it is sort-of, kind-of understandable how one might, from an extremely biased point of view, see pokemon as promoting animal cruelty, their crusade against Mario's tanooki suit just made no sense. Have they made any parody of the Zelda games yet? I wouldn't be surprised if they went for all three of Nintendo's big franchises.

They went after Cooking Mama instead of Zelda as those Octoroks and Redeads aren't exactly cute creatures worthy of respect in PETA's eyes given that those enemies attack people first.
