Who is going to censor meat? You might be surprised.





Let’s start off with an acknowledgment. Most of these games are bad, bad controls, grotesque designs and over the top writing. I would like to point to the Pokémon games, how you can keep the battle system of Pokémon somewhat intact but suck the joy out of it is impressive in its own way.





I doubt that meat is going to be removed from videogames any time soon. Eating meat is just too popular. That said, we can imagine a world were few if any people still indulge in eating meat, where the act is frowned upon by the general society, and where people do not want their kids exposed to the “immoral behavior” of eating it.





In that world, we can imagine censors removing references to eating meat much like they do for tobacco and alcohol today. After all, eating meat is immoral, and as groups like PETA tell us, has all sorts of negative health effects. Isn’t there a responsibility to protect the impressionable from the dangers of meat consumption? This might seem absurd, but only because it’s about eating meat. Replace the word meat with tobacco and its reality. The only thing really missing is public acceptance of the idea eating meat is bad.





Whatever you think of the science or ethics of eating meat you must admit it’s something a lot of people do, both now and historically. Loads of art already contains meat consumption, sometimes as a key part of the plot. If you morally reject eating meat you can look at these works in two ways. You can take on the logic of the book burners, not watch them at all and work to stop people from consuming them. Or you can accept that we live in a morally complex world, that not everyone agrees with your beliefs about meat eating, and try to appreciate what the artist was trying to do.





Back to PETA I think it’s laudable that they make games to address things they don’t like. Also, I don’t think they hate most of the games they parody. I get the feeling they like Pokémon and just decided to attack the elements they don’t like in the most bombastic over the top way possible. It’s not a good way to win converts, but when preaching to the choir it is sure it get a lot of “Amens”





As for me, I will continue eating meat, not smoke, and consume art containing both.
