Hey, some people have multiple paged threads about religious bashing and other propaganda. Why not this?

It's the internet. People have multiple paged threads about every grain of sand on a beach and the time required for paint to dry in relation to the thickness of the layer and artistic value of the painted surface.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

I can see it now.

They start it and have their in-game rally, lots of people together. They then find that the location had been rigged with TNT, and everyone was exploded mid-rally.

I guarantee something like that will happen.

Naturally, the PETA server will be a Creeper Preserve.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

That's quite possible. They're obviously troll-baiting to then play the victim? That's totally in PETA's playbook.

Well, PETA is apparently creating a Minecraft server to combat the abuse of animals in Minecraft. So no more killing sheep, cows, pigs or the newer animals now there. Personally, I don't understand why PETA has to be so weird and pretty extreme. The premise of the organization should be something we all agree with, which is the ethical treatment of animals. I am pretty sure most people believe in this from vegetarians to the most rabid meat eaters. So it just looks like the latest outreach of weirdness by PETA.


It's not that complex. One of the chief functions of PETA is to draw attention. If they do something as simple as create a PETA-friendly minecraft server, it gets people talking about them. It really is that simple. They don't necessarily think you're going to sign-up to their server... or their newsletter. They doubt that many people will change their stance on any issue, to any significant degree. But they WILL talk about it, and that's a win.

They've had an affinity for younger audiences to brainwash their messages in them. Hence games and also comics, turns out.
