Disturbing images you were never meant to see

Primitive humanity believed that an enemy’s essence could be absorbed by eating his flesh. While this superstition has largely been debunked, the idea is alive and well in modern videogames. Kirby, the world’s most recognizable cutesy pink blob, has been doing it for 15 years now: devouring his enemies in order to acquire their powers. Though consoles become more and more capable of realistically portraying Kirby’s victims with each new generation, they still refuse to show us the truth of what’s happening to these poor souls.

Yeah, I think killing an adorable paper mache animal with a shovel and then feasting on its entrails I think rare followed the basis of theater "Tragedy & comedy".

Goddamn! No one deserves being torn apart like how Mario was under the hands... er, mouth of Kirby. No wonder Nintendo keeps their games mostly appropriate.

@The1337Lord

You act like he MIGHT be one. We wipes out several planets worth of cute animals in each game, even if they run away, he chases them down and eats them.
