  • PETA wants Games Workshop to stop sculpting fur and dead animals onto miniatures...

    I don't know if any of you are fans, but I kid you not. This is for reals. Here's the letter:

    Peta's Letter to Games Workshop

    Enjoy,
    guaca.
    "Down in the lowlands, where the water is deep,
    Hear my cry, hear my shout,
    Save me, save me"

    Those games must have hidden steel-jaw traps in them. You just haven't noticed, have you?

      Oh my.... I'll confess that Warhammer 40k fiction is something of a guilty pleasure of mine (some of it is pretty darn good, believe it or not), so I actually recognize the names Leman Russ and Horus Lupercal.

      I don't know if anyone from PETA has read any Warhammer lore, but the wearing of furs is just about the least violent thing in that universe. That setting is so insanely violent that the complaint is just hilarious.

      Edit: I.e., the idea that a character such as Horus wearing furs sends the message that wearing furs is ok, in light of the utterly heinous BS of which Horus is guilty, is pretty funny.

          This is PETA, it's all about grandstanding morons. One of the most pathetically useless organisations on earth who do more harm than good.


          ..... There is video evidence of their staff members stealing pets to euthanise them.

            Oh, I don't expect anything but that from PETA. But as something of a minor fan of Warhammer, I guess I find it particularly amusing.

                Does peta really want to go to war against the guys who make warhammer 40K? It went so well when they attacked pokemon.

                  I guess Warcraft will be next because players kill digital animals and monsters

                  You even use leathercrafting to turn them into armor

                    Like when they protested Super Mario Bros. 3 about the Tanooki suit, they depicted him in the suit holding the ripped off face and spattered in blood.

                      This isn't new for PETA, they are clearly insane.

                        If someone wanted to object to something in the Warhammer universe, you could pick...oh, I dunno:

                        1. the insanely bloody violence
                        2. the murder of whole worlds
                        3. the worship of chaos demons, including the sacrifice of innocents
                        4. sorcery
                        5. war on a ridiculous scale
                        6. bio-engineered, immortal supersoldiers, literally bred for the purpose of conquering the galaxy on a "holy crusade"
                        7. "chainswords"
                        8. "For the Emperor!"
                        9. alternatively, "Death to the False Emperor!"

                        and no doubt a bunch of others.

                          The God emperor set up a cult of personality and state mandated atheism. He then knew horus would betray him and still he made horus the primarch. Everything gets messed up and humanity turns to a corpse for guidance regularly killing thousands to keep the emperor in less of a coma.
                          The Tau are psychotic space communist.
                          The Orks are the gangs from mad max and fist of the north star combined with trolls.
                          The Eldar are hypocritical and megalomaniacal fools.
                          Dark eldar are an enrire race of sauron.
                          And then theres Nurgal.

                            The Word Bearers are seriously messed up, and the Night Lords are pretty much just a bunch of torturers and murderers. There are so many examples.
