...Cooking Mama = ethical issues? DOES NOT COMPUTE
Srsly, wtf?
Look, I told you what you got wrong with the skinning animals game. (Which I could tell was your previous work even before I remembered who you were.)
Cartoony + heavy moral pushing = mixed messages.
You can either be serious business and talk about the problem, or be funny and make the problem easier to relate to, but you can't be BOTH unless you're really, REALLY skilled. That's why you don't see clowns in those commercials for starving families.
Frankly, I'm just mad now because you're using a parody to cover up for a lack of creativity in making what is quite obviously a PETA recruiting tool. The game's not even that good since you're emulating a mediocre game, and your heavy morals keep shoving their way into any possible fun I may be having. Plus, the tofu stage grosses me out even more than the turkey stages. I know what tofu tastes like, and I eat it on a regular basis. Crushing it with your hands, forming it into a mound, dumping some sauce on it, and baking it in an oven is NOT a good way to cook tofu. Heck, the guts gravy (which is what gravy is, frankly, so nothing new under the sun) looks downright tasty.
Frankly, I'm okay with shock value, but the moment you cheapen it with propaganda purposes, you're just stepping on my toes to make me agree with you, which makes me more mad at YOU, and less at your cause. If you want to win people over, don't tell them "THIS IS BAD" and "THIS IS GOOD" outright. Let your message speak for itself.
