The Zombie Nadir: Why We Can't Ignore Zombie Geneocide Anymore.

I respect the fact that the imagery of Resident Evil 5 is a heated topic, and that the developers were careless, but I think many people are missing the bigger picture. This isn't just a black or white issue, it's an everyone issue.

Yes the cruel and mindless slaughter of African zombies is an outrage, but who will speak up for the thousands of white zombies who were killed in the previous games? in other survival horror games? There is a zombie genocide going on right underneath our noses, and no one seems to have the good sense to speak up and cry out for justice. Zombies of every race, creed and ethnicity are dying everyday.

One of the hundreds of starving Zombies that die everyday.


How many zombies died yesterday?

I don't know either, but I'm sure it was a lot. Every moment we hesitate, another zombie is senselessly murdered. In a mall. In a dark dank alley. Perhaps even at the old Ashford Mansion in Raccoon City Forest.

And our inaction has farther reaching consequences. What does our apathy teach our children? That it's ok to kill zombies? Is that really a message we want to be spreading to the next generation?

Many of these Zombies are alone, hungry, and scared.


I know I have brought up many more questions than answers, but this is something worth questioning. We cannot just ignore the zombie genocide issue any longer. We can't change the subject because it's taboo anymore. We NEED to discuss it. All of us.

A trillion zombies may have died yesterday.

Are you willing to let another trillion die today? Are you willing to let them die without a voice?

  1. Why is Gabe at the end of this?
    Gabe is part of the problem. I've never seen a bigger lifeist than Gabe.
