Tofu Activists Spoof Meat-Based Indie Game

Faulkner39 writes "In response to the recently released independently developed platformer Super Meat Boy, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has released a Flash-based spoof game titled Super Tofu Boy. The spoof attempts to mirror the original by featuring a protagonist made of tofu and an antagonist made of meat in a statement promoting animal rights. Ironically, however, the original game is about a human boy who is vulnerable because he lacks skin (Meat Boy), raising the question: 'is the spoof in reality really about cannibalism?'" The Super Meat Boy team posted a response on their Twitter feed.

They think that's gross? The villain of SMB is Dr. Fetus, a fetus in a jar. Bosses include a happy ball of blood, a meat boy clone made of feces and a living pile of corpses. Oh and animals constantly get murdered by the saw blades everywhere as they try to flee from the carnage as Dr. Fetus destroys more and more of the world.
