    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.

          Yeah you really can’t seem to gather the difference between shooting dudes in military gear and squishy, colorful, harmless creatures. The fact you can’t connect those two things with the last remaining brain cell you have left is enough for me to not want to continue this back and forth. Zelda doesn’t have a Meat Cleaver you can take to your companions. Mario doesn’t let you enslave the fucking Goombas.

          You are beyond dense and I’m happy for you that you can cognitively disassociate from casually murdering what is essentially cats and dogs. Companions. If you’re the kind of freak that gets off on killing their pets, do you, but I don’t remember the part in Ark or really any game that gives you benefits for killing your buddies.

          Maybe Nintendo will free you from the slop, little pig.

            Are we talking about different games here? You’ve made it clear you have no idea what your talking about. If I’m wrong please show me a clip of what it is you have an issue with, because you’re just making shit up.

              Just think it’s kinda fucked up to want to kill Pokemon after growing up with them. Think it’s kinda fucked up to go “Man I wish I could shoot a Bellsprout in the face.” No pearl clutching, just really don’t get it whatsoever.
