Not just that. The subtext & symbolism of all zombie series and movies is based on inequality of human beings. Subliminally they are trying to prepare us for a world where racial and economic inequality is so pronounce that the dominant group can call others zombies & shoot them. https://twitter.com/karishmau/status/1265164110217400321

You can see a direct correlation between the zombie apocalypse as a phenomenon in the pop culture and rise of race, faith, caste and class related lynchings and violence. Once you 'other' those you consider inferior you do to them whatever you like. Most powerful fascist tool.

Hope you remember what Nazis called the disabled. They called them useless eaters and then euthanized them.

Although the trigger for this thread was gender related violence, in the flow I missed out on mentioning gender and honor related lynchings & violence. Apologies. While in underdeveloped societies women have never stopped being considered unequal, west now has its incels.

Prejudice has countless ugly faces and culture phenomena like zombie movies are actively helping to weaponize hate & prejudice & to waylay a prejudiced heart of the last shreds of compassion. It's simple deductive logic. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to see correlation.
