This morning, many players surfing the Internet have seen this ridiculous news:
Peta (full name: Treat Animals well) recently released a video to give players 5 tips for living in harmony with animals in Eldon's Ring of Law: take a leisurely walk by the lake with your dog; persuade soldiers not to harm and exploit horses; keep a safe distance when encountering wild animals in the wild; visit wildlife sanctuaries; and spend some quiet time with amazing animals.
The best part of this news is that just by reading the text, you think they are seriously advising players not to harm wild animals, but this is in a game where the enemy is very eager to attack you! Besides, how come no one says don't hurt wild humans!
But if you angrily click on the video, you will be amused by the huge difference in size between the player and the "small animals" in the picture, is it because the player does not want to keep a safe distance from them? Obviously, this dog, which is twice as powerful as me, has to chase me and nibble!
However, this video netizens will look at the smile and laugh, because we are all too clear but this PETA's usual trick, but where there are animals in the game, it will come to rub a foot.
For example, they asked for the shotgun in Hunting Simulator 2 to be replaced with a camera, and the game to be a game of shooting wild animals, "to get pleasure from shooting other creatures, even in the virtual world is almost perverted." ”
Late last year, they protested against the cockfighting game in Far Cry 6. They believe that the mini-game in which the player controls the chicken and the opponent's chicken fight is a glorification of the act of forcing animals to fight, and Ubisoft should delete the mini-game.
In fact, cockfighting is a very popular activity in Cuba, and people will even wear sharp spikes on chickens in pursuit of the excitement of the battle.
Although the campaign has been declared illegal, cuba still has many private cockfights that are secretly operated.
This isn't the first time PETA has targeted Ubisoft, as they actually jumped out to blame the game's fishing system when Far Cry 5 was released.
PETA believes that the act of gamifying fishing in Far Cry 5 will cause people to ignore the trauma that fish suffer in the process, "Fishing means leading fish into traps and leaving them in a state of fear and lack of oxygen for a period of minutes to hours." ”
Also having problems with "fishing" is "Animal Forest Friends". They believe that the fish in the game don't feel pain, but that the fishing itself is harmful to living things and the planet. Not only is the right to deprive the fish, but the act of "donating" to the museum is also absurd.
So they published a short video of a "cyber parade" in front of the game's museum, calling on players to let go of the fish in the museum.
PETA also posted: "Shallow bugs on the beach should not be caught, although it is not clear whether it will hurt, but they have an important role in the ecosystem." In addition, although Tanukiyoshi will lend money to the player, humans have been frequently hunting Tanuki cats for furs, so Tanukiyoshi should be forgiven. ”
Most outrageously, PETA has written to the developers of The Farm Simulator 17 calling on them to add slaughter elements to the game, mainly because Farm Simulator 17 introduced the element of pig farming into the livestock industry. They believe that the game will either add a scene of the hog being slaughtered to show the tragic fate of the pig in real life, or turn the game into a "vegetarian farm" completely.
But if you think peta is an organization that only blames and does not do real things because of the above hard "porcelain" news, then you are wrong, they have made a lot of "horror" games to persuade players.
The logic is the same as the above request for "Farm Simulator 17" to add a real slaughter scene, they feel that only if it is real and bloody enough, players will understand the price that the small animals need to pay behind the operation of the game.
So they launched cooking mama (mama kills animals), which has a very realistic cooking screen, which shows how many small animals are "killed" in the process of cooking.
They have launched a horizontal version of the game called "Mario Kills Little Raccoon" for the game cover of "Super Mario 3" game cover into a little raccoon, they believe that mario transformed into a raccoon, actually wearing its fur, there is a suspicion of advocating fur hunting.
and Pokémon: Red, White and Blue, with pokémon vs. McDonald's brother as the theme. They said: Would they be happy if Pokémon came into our world and saw that humans treated animals the way they did?
A total of 16 games here, in addition to the very bloody and cruel graphics, also have in common that they all rub well-known or familiar games. Although PETA received a number of lawyer letters as a result, they never removed these games from the shelves.
Even Nintendo, which has one of the strongest legal departments on the surface, can only say that "Nintendo and Pokémon companies will take the improper use of our products and intellectual property rights seriously." ”
But I think these games may be really useful for animal protection, at least I played for an afternoon, and now I have closed my eyes and blood, intestines, brains and so on, at least three days do not want to see raw meat.
It seems that you can only order a fried chicken takeaway to treat yourself, it is really fragrant.
