    Maybe PETA got to me but it turns my stomach watching people gleefully butcher and enslave Pokemon.

    So you gleefully play terrorism stimulator the game?

    I’m anti-war and anti-guns, I play a lot of war games and shooters. It’s a game.

      You really don’t see how “killing bad guys doing bad things” is a lot easier to stomach than walking up to a Miltank eating grass and blowing it’s head off with a shotgun?

      There’s a way you do violence with cute characters and it’s fucking called Pokemon. It’s called Slime Rancher. I don’t know who the fuck asked for Happy Tree Friends: The Game but congrats, you got it.

        Unless you’re on the terrorist team, sneaking up on an agent doing his job and blowing his head off with a shotgun.

        You’ve drawn a weird line in the sand here: shooting semi-realistic looking people with a gun and seeing their blood splatter? That’s fine. Shooting a cartoon with a gun until it falls over? THE HORROR!

        Are you up in arms over Zelda? Mario? There’s no blood or dismemberment, they just fall to the ground. “Unconscious” if that helps you release the death grip from your pearls.

        You clearly have no idea how the game actually behaves and have invented something you can be upset about. There are lots of videos of gameplay, please find me an example of the violence you find unacceptable.
