Now I sort of want to play a legit Pokemon game with this premise, minus all the propaganda. Because if we're going to be honest, they are fantasy cockfight simulators after you strip out all the crap about love, loyalty, teamwork, etc.

You're going out into the wilderness, disturbing animals, forcing your pets to beat them nearly to death, and then trapping them in pocket dimensions until you need them to kill another person's pets.
Though I do admit, I like the PETA ash more. That guy's armed.
Hey, it's just because they got the canon wrong. A cruise on an ocean liner is free, while a bicycle is $1m. Therefore, nuclear weapons are free but a switchblade costs all the money in the world.

Dolla dolla get a baller

Though seriously, I did at some point fully expect Ash to start eating baby pokemon sandwiches or something. Though Peta does have a point, pokemon slaughter would make a profitable and tasty venture.

suddenly, PETA tries to target B12 forums with a PETA version of DF.

PETA rapidly collapses due to insanity caused by them tying to rework dwarf fortress. we all know cthulhu guards the code.
I demand this mod.

Hmmm.... PETA Fortress....

Hang on, wouldn't that just be a normal Dwarf Fortress attempting to free the world's animals from slavery to the Elves?

Well, PETA probably takes it seriously. Whether anyone else does is up for debate.

It could have been a funny and well thought out parody if they didn't spam propoganda every ten seconds.

PETA's self aware, but unashamed of their propaganda.

So to answer if it's serious, yes and no. Yes it's propaganda, no they're not expecting to convert everyone who plays their game.

They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Eh, they still raise awareness I guess, so that's a plus for them.

Pretty much. And I can't really think of a better way to go about it.

Perhaps not making the assumption that every pet owner is an immoral jerkass who beats animals with a baseball bat?

But it's not every pet owner.
Well, in this case it is, but it's because this is a society where there is a large portion of society whose career revolves around getting animals and having them fight to the (almost) death. Plus it's funny.

It's funnier when you play through the games with that kind of assumption going on, like in almost every SA Pokemon thread.
