Fear the Walking Dead continues this week! When talking about social justice, one often talks about property. Who gets to own it, who gets to live in it. This week, Fear the Walking Dead exposes another way Zombies are often mistreated in fiction, as its main cast steals outright a hotel from the local Zombie [...]

When last we left the crew of the S.S. Zombie Hater they had just tried, and largely failed, to ransack a plane crash. This week the inevitable consequences of talking to strangers comes home to roost as Alicia’s ham radio pals pay a visit. It is also noteworthy for having very few Differently Animated even [...]

And the saga of Jerks on a Boat continues into Week Three! This time our heroes have the chance to rescue several Living people, so Anti-Zombie prejudice alone can’t lead to the inevitable catastrophe. Could a happy ending result?

Fear the Walking Dead had a dubious start to its second season, with ample Zombie Rights issues, as previously dissected on the ZRC blog here. But perhaps after the premiere things could improve for the Differently Animated? …Probably not.

For a different, and yet all too similar, tale of Anti-Zombie prejudice, we turn to the latest high profile anime series featuring the Undead, ‘Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress’, which is available streaming on Amazon Prime. For some background on Kabaneri from a non-Zombie Rights perspective (if you need that), the ZRC would suggest going [...]

This television season, the ZRC is going to do short, episode-by-episode recaps of various Zombie and Zombie-related shows in order to provide the larger Zombie Rights Movement with a response to endemic Living Supremacist media. Here we go! ————— When last we left the ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ Living cast, they had just settled in [...]

Zombies on television. Obviously, the first thought for almost everyone is The Walking Dead, unless you’re talking about some of the progressive, more Zombie Tolerant shows from our friends in the UK. The second thought for many will likely be Walking Dead’s spinoff/prequel, aptly named ‘Fear the Walking Dead’, which debuts this fall. But there [...]

The Walking Dead, ahh, yes. Cultural phenomenon, to be sure. But, and this almost goes without saying by this point, rabidly, and unredeemably, Living Supremacist. It’s also a show that is more than a little ripe for a satirical skewering, so The Zombie Rights Campaign was interested to learn of ‘The Walking Deceased’, a parody [...]

It’s been a long road for the [REC] series. The first two movies were set in a creepy apartment building in Barcelona which was apparently the site of some very Anti-Zombie experimentation by certain parties (avoiding spoilers, but it’s not Umbrella). The third movie, which the ZRC saw on the big screen, shifted locations to [...]

B. Nektar is at it again! They really seem to like the Zombie themed beverages. In this case, ‘Necromangocon‘ is a honey wine/mead, with a bit of black pepper and mango added. The actual beverage is refreshing and unassuming. Perhaps a bit too unassuming; the pepper and mango don’t come across so strongly, and the [...]
