PETA says their Super Mario 3D Land criticisms were tongue-in-cheek
“Mario fans: Relax! PETA’s game was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, a fun way to call attention to a serious issue, that raccoon dogs are skinned alive for their fur. We wish real-life tanukis could fly or swat enemies away with their tails and escape from those who profit from their skins. You can help them by never buying real fur.” -PETA Statement
Well, it certainly wasn’t a very high quality joke! Part of me thinks that they might just be saying this to get Mario fans off of their back, but I suppose I could understand if this truly was just a goofy troll. It did seem rather extreme, even for PETA.
