While I did not laugh at your joke, although I rarely laugh ever. I can appreciate your dedication and your thinking to find ways to make people laugh and maybe bring them a chuckle by shorterning the word "zombies" to the first letter to make a "deez nutz" joke. Have a good day sir, madam, or whatever term you prefer to be used. This did make me have a small smile though.

@@radiocaster2kOh yeah, and I just realized that calling them zombies makes you think they’re just zombies, rather than.. Fucking horrors.

​@@ninjirealDying Light zombies are the Shin Godzilla of the zombie genre. The person behind that infected husk of a body is still alive, suffering. Virals, which are newly infected, beg for death or mercy. Biters literally roam around in the sun all day, which must be excruciating, since the virus has a weakness to UV rays, and as a result the infected do too. People experience seizures and faints before turning. Bombers have mutated to have their entire stomach and guts exposed, and literally self eliminate themselves just like Drowners. Volatiles have some of their ribs inverted and stabbing outwards from their body, and their mouths are split into mandibles, just like Shin Godzilla when he's using his atomic breath. One Volatile even screamed out in pain from the sun, saying how much it hurt and wanted mercy. Spitters have much higher levels of acid in their bodies. Howlers have high levels of toxins in them that boil inside their bodies, causing them to release a giant howl, also like Shin Godzilla. Goons literally have a giant rebar stabbed and molded into their hands, and also a split mouth. Along with rotting away, these things get burnt at even the smallest bit of UV light It's truly horrifying

​@@randallbesch2424Resident evil still used the word "Zombie,"

I mean, Capcom can say that they're infected living people, but the Raccoon City Cemetery in RE3 and the prison cemetery in Code: Veronica both show that is very much not the case.

@@MrMuchZombies Actually background information proves this wrong. The outbreak in Raccoon was in swing for a very long time, from around the Mansion Incident to the leak in the sewers people were being infected and spreading it. It's not entirely out of the realm of possibility that those infected who were in a bout of unconsciousness were mistaken as dead and buried only for the infected to wake up and try to get out. In CV it was mentioned during the initial attack on the island, many soldiers and prisoners were both killed by the bombings and infected, those infected who were again unconscious or appeared dead simply later came out of the shallow graves they were put in. The real reason for this was very likely gameplay mechanics and not meant to be interpreted as actually happening. It was for a jumpscare to scare the player.

@@MereelSkirata The problem with all of this for Capcom's attempts to retcon the whole 'still alive' thing is *when* did anyone have time to have funerals or even dig shallow graves, especially in CV. The attack had *just happened* on the island right after Claire wakes up in her cell, so they didn't have time to dig graves for the people who just died. The Keeper' ls infamous "itchy, tasty" diary even shows that the timeline for infection rates is very much too short for a proper funeral, which typically take a week or two, and the Keeper was still awake and conscious for a week before turning proper. I'm not claiming you're wrong, or your fact-checking is bullshit. I'm more just venting because it's a stupid retcon that is disproven in its own games.

that's in the comic universe, which freely uses the term 'zombie'. unlike the show, where they're called 'walkers'

Project Zomboid, a game, kinda solves this issue by not even having zombies be the main threat. the main threat is your own overconfidence, which kills almost every player, players which survive for months or even years randomly die cause they got too comfortable with the dead.....although, the game never uses the term zombie either, but that doesn't matter.

@@KatKat32 they aren't zombies and infected is terrifying enough.

In Resident Evil 4, after Leon kills the first Ganadoo, if he inspects the corpse he notice that he was not a zombie, but something diffrent. So like in RE4 there were zombies.

@@BaranZenon No, RE4 didn't have zombies, they were infected because the parasite needs a living host in order to survive and take control of the body. Meaning the Ganados were still humans, and since they still required sustenance and actually still used human thinking and intelligence they are by all means infected and not zombies.

@@HadesOrso92 I said there "were" as there are not anymore.

@@BaranZenon No, they were never zombies at any point at all, the parasite needs the host alive in order to survive, Idk what logic you're trying to use but again, at no point were the ganados ever zombies at all, because the Las Plagas parasite does not kill its host, it keeps its host alive and takes control of the body and so it may survive

@@HadesOrso92 I think BaranZenon meant were as in the Raccoon City and Arklay outbreaks back when zombies were still around. but on a lore note, technically even the zombies both T-zombies and C-zombies are still living humans just heavily mutated by the T-virus and C-virus.

@@mongooseunleashed gameplay story segregation. Cutscenes show them to be as vulnerable as humans are

It's definitely because they think the word itself sounds silly when they're trying to do something serious

This ^

Ngl when I hear "infected" and "undead" that's even more immersion breaking because a random person isn't going to just start calling them infected. The average person is 100% going to call it like they see it and just say zombie.

I find the opposite to be more immersion breaking.

Yeah I agree with other commenters them refusing to say zombie is like seeing a cop in a cop show refer to his taser as an electronic tickle machine.

The cynic in me veers toward money. 'White Walker', or whatever, can be copyrighted, while the word zombie can't belong to any one entity.

Because such thing didn't exist in the univers of the movie concerned

That's good question

Infected is a specific term. Zombie can be both specific and general. So both infected and zombies are zombies.

@@ZelphTheWebmancer no actually all zombies are infected but not all infected are zombies. Just like how all wyverns are dragons but not all dragons are wyverns

@@your_god_lucifer2386 Actually, that is completely wrong. The difference between dragon and wyvern is only relevant in English, Scottish and Irish heraldry, and pedantic comments. The terms dragon, zombie, vampire, werewolf, and many others are metonyms for the general archetype popular culture built based on many distinct real world legends, so yes all zombies are infected AND all infected are zombies in a broad sense, same with dragons and wyvern. This distinction doesn't apply to all contexts just because popular media _vibes_ with the distinction sometimes.

Would it not be more lazy to just call them zombies?

@@TheDweller77 Did you not listen to their excuse? They literally say they just don't want to deal with the fact that the people already have zombie cannon, if they call them zombies.

@@jaredrobinson7071 Whom's excuse? And zombie doesn't have a canon, no fictional creature that exists only on popular media has a single "canon". They might have common tropes, but there are at least one (and usually several) that break some or all of the tropes.

@@ZelphTheWebmancer tell me you don't pay attention without telling me.

@@jaredrobinson7071 Me not magically knowing whom you are talking about means I didn't pay attention? Or are you referring to Robert Kirkman's statement, which doesn't change a thing I said? In fact, it makes your whole statement way worse, it would actually be way lazier to just shrug it off and use the term any way Kirkman actually took the time to think that wouldn't make sense in universe and decided to make a new term for zombies in his series. That is effort, the opposite of laziness. I'm not the one that needs to pay attention to what people are saying.
