PETA and Edmund McMillen are trolling each other again, as the activist group hand Mewgenics a "Hero to Animals Award"
Many moons ago, Mewgenics developer Edmund McMillen successfully lured the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals into developing a vegan parody version of Super Meat Boy, Team Meat's gut-slathered 2D platformer. Team Meat responded by triumphantly adding a spoof vegan character to Super Meat Boy, the puny and crater-eyed Tofu Boy. As McMillen himself recently recalled on MechaMusk.com, "I personally trolled the peta forums for months seeding info about this 'ground breaking new indie game coming out soon that must be stopped!; I never thought they would actually take the bait but it was amazing to see and a very fun exchange."
Well, McMillen and PETA are at it again. PETA have just released a video honouring a character in Mewgenics, which very much isn't a game that promotes the ethical treatment of animals, or of beings in general.
