      I said 📢IT’S NOT REALLY FUN ESCAPISM WHEN IT BLATANTLY THROWS OUT VERISIMILITUDE FOR THE SAKE OF PRESENTING THE SAME TRITE, CLICHE, PROPAGANDIZED REHASHED GARBAGE TO US OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

          Or anything practically realistic, because it’s not a good faith critical examination of a situation like that the way the books are. They’re a mish-mash of tropes and cliches corporations know will put ignorant NPC asses into seats to bilk money off of them. They don’t make people think about what they’re watching which is one of the most important uses of critical thinking, have no real world message, and if they do the messages are extremely negative, i.e. The Walking Dead advocating the “every man for himself” mentality that stops the working poor from working together.

          I could go on for days about it and that’s literally the tip of the iceberg.

          But you’re not interested in a meaningful debate, you’re angry I dare to criticize something you like and you were only asking because you are looking for holes you can dig through to convince yourself I’m wrong and thus feel better about ingesting mindless, logically frail shit that doesn’t stand up to scrutiny, so this talk can’t really happen. No talk can be had with you.

            I don’t even like zombie films or games. You’re just being all high and mighty over nothing.

            But yeah keep up with your cringe pseudo intellectual bullshit, so you can tell yourself everyone is a dumb mindless NPC and you’re the one true free thinker in this world.
