There always was a pretty big chapo - gaming overlap just because of the demographics and all. Plus the fact that GCJ is one probably one of the most active left-leaning subs on reddit still, it ends up being pretty good for posts.
Zombie apocalypses bring out the worst in settler colonial mentalities. Night of the Living Dead at least seemed to show cops and klan being bad. It's been a long time since I've seen it so I can't fully remember.
yeah the ending of the original was just like 'fuck you pigs you mother fucking pigs eat shit and die pigs'
The original trilogy of Romero
Dawn'Dead' movies had a lot of great social commentary. Pretty sure they're all on free on youtube if you look, too. Edited because I am a fuckup who can't remember which word stayed the same in all three titles.

The mentioned lynching of the 2 soldiers were after they were arrested in Ramallah during the Intifada.

What was wrong with it?
Edit: downbear? Really? Where do you think you are? I'm genuinely curious, I have not played the game nor have I seen any non-chud criticism. I loved the first one and just wanted to know why the second one fell short.
I didn't 'downbear' you lol I just hate middlebrow shit like TLOA on principal and having played the first game and seen someone else play the second it appear that I was right to
I didn’t ‘downbear’ you
The edit wasn't necessarily aimed at you
middlebrow shit like TLOA
What exactly do you mean by this?
Broke: Hating TLOU 2 because transphobic
Woke: Hating TLOU2 because it is pro-Israel
Praxis: Forgo the hate and play Deadly Premonition 2
