Super Meat Boy
Edmund McMillen, one of the two men behind Super Meat Boy, has taken to the game’s official blog to discuss the feud between it and PETA. The animal rights group created a spin-off to Super Meat Boy, Super Tofu Boy, which replaces the bloody meat character with a block of tofu.
But Super Meat Boy isn’t a piece of meat, insists McMillen. Some other surprises–this super meat creator used to be a vegetarian.
“Meat Boy isn’t made of animal meat, he’s simply a boy without skin whose name is Meat Boy.”
“Now don’t get me wrong, i have NOTHING against Vegans or Vegetarians. I was Vegetarian for many years, and was an animal control officer who saved animals for a living for a long time, i empathize, understand and accept why people choose to eat, and live as they wish, and obviously i believe everyone should have the freedom to express themselves in anyway as long as it doesn’t hurt others.”
McMillen’s “beef” with PETA is what he believes is its stance on animal testing.
