Pathetic cancellation. I have zero respect for anyone that caves to these retards. The Supreme Court has already ruled on this, that congresswoman can kick sand.

They may shock even the most hardcore mob bosses in the world.....it's not real...

Years ago, in my town, there was a popular 'hole-in-the-wall' Chinese restaurant that got busted by the health department...they had been serving cat in place of chicken. No strays in that area!

Sop making shit up to satisfy your racist beliefs, cats are feline so their meat would be a red meat, so to say you can substitute chicken which is a white meat, with cat is borderline retarded and brainless

Oh no no no, I am not making anything up...and what does this have anything to do with racism?!?! Why would you call me a racist?! Grow up child and quit with your fabricated liberal-grown and groomed impulses. You kneel for the National Anthem too?
By the way tard...Asian countries are known for eating dogs and cats. Why is that fact racist?!
Also...a Chicken consists of dark meat too. Ignorant...smfh.

You must live far from civilization

I can confirm that this is true
Certain Asians eat cat and dog
I live in the SF Bay Area and this is pretty normal and no secret out here.

Their preferred choice of dogs are Chow pups

There are 9 countries that are known to eat cat and dog meat. Among them are China, Korea, and Vietnam. Mostly, it takes place in highly populated and low income areas where "regular" meat is too expensive for the average person living there. In parts of Mexico, people also ate cat and horse meat. (though the popularity of cat meat has declined) So, it's not as far fetched as you might think. Remember, pets are a modern convenience. Culturally, WE have put the intouchable label on certain animals. But, cultures differ.
I'm not saying this to give credence to the existence of a game that just turns cheap stereotypes into supposed entertainment. (Just cuz they have the right to make it, doesn't mean they should...but, they are still free to express themselves) I'm saying this because you might have jumped the gun with the racist call-out.

Sounds like a madeup rumor - not saying you made it up but im sure its something that got started by someone else. Its fact that its cheaper to buy chicken then to buy a cat or even send someone out to hunt one down and then to skin it and prepare it, the man hour wouldnt even be worth it effort.

Guys when you hear these kind of stories in most cases its just some rumor started by someone.

It's 2017. This year has probably the highest-quantity of highest-quality releases since 2004 or 2007, and we're taking the time to try to find excuses to defend an indie mobile game based entirely on racist Chinese stereotypes?

We're better than this and Dirty Chinese Restaurant isn't South Park. I'll pass until Dirty International Restaurant with American baby-cow slaughtering, Japanese whale hunting and French engorging tiny ducklings.

When are those games coming out? I forgot to pre-order them

Liqu1d2419d ago

I like how people are concerned about a satirical video game being racist yet ignore depictions of animal cruelty. These same people probably aren't as vocal when it comes to real racism.

Liqu1d2418d ago

Just to add, the developer are called Big-O-Tree. That alone should make it clear it's a joke.
