We just want zombies to be a reality.

Oh I didn't get the reference clearly. Resident Evil's a great game series, but I havent spent a lot of time with it. What about the African zombies from 5 though?

I meant Resident Evil 5. It was a typo. It's corrected now, though.

Yes, and no. They had a kernel of truth and teeth to their argument, as the original depictions of zombies had their hold in racist implications of people, especially those of African decent.
The "No" in that the modern interpretation is not based on that, but still has footholds in it.

Wait so are you talking about voodoo? I mean the word zombie does come from Haitian french, but  if you're saying zombies are racist just because writers and hollywood capitalized on them being a widely circulated legend amongst voodoo practicioners I gotta say meh.. I mean even saying "well the writers made everyone assume all black people were affiliated with voodoo." is a stretch.. 

I'm not saying a racist zombie flick or video game can't exist I'm sure they do, but just having a black zombie or black characters that partake in crime and other stuff that fits that society driven stereotype in your story isn't inherently racist.. I mean I'm pretty sure this movie from about the same time had a bunch of panties in an uproar..

No one really watches a zombie flick to give a fuck about humanitarianism, political correctness, and history though do they. 🤨

Yeah a lot of actual doctors, and medical field scientists are comparing it to the flu.. Good old fashion influenza; which don't get me wrong it's a pretty resilient and deadly beast to even be alive today! Supposingly a lot of people don't even experience noticable symptoms for a significant time after contracting the virus, and they can pass the virus to others the entire time they are like that.. That's what's giving us the most trouble..  The flu is a good comparison in that regards at least.

I need to get on these games.. The most recent zombie thriller I played was The Last of Us series. I got hooked on the story after watching some "Let's Play " videos. 

L4D is old but it was a shit ton of fun. Lots of other girl gamers too

1. Zombies are stupid and were played out by 2011.

2. The original zombie movie's ending was all about racism so....

 

4, 5, 6,7, 8, 9, 10. :| Wrong again if zombie fan freaks werent alive and well there wouldn't be talk about a zombie apocalypse everytime a new virus goes global. Also who gives a shit about an age old zombie movie half the living world is probably too young to see or honestly give a shit about at this point. In other words. Ok Boomer.
