Look, if it were actual dogs or roosters fighting then you would be right, but we're talking about magical sprites that breathe fire and create snowstorms here. It's far enough removed from reality that I think the argument that it's fucked up is just incorrect on its face.

man, if you want to play the games, just play them. no one is stopping you. just don't defend cockfighting with "but the author said it's fine and the animals love it"
