Zombies Rally for Australian Gamer Rights
- Thread starter Austin MacKenzie
- Start date
That is exactly what I was going to ask. Wouldn't a normal protest with respectful signs be more effective? Isn't a zombie walk counterproductive? Sure it is fun and all but asking for an M rating by dressing up and acting like a zombie seems that it would be useful against it not for it.Nevyrmoore said:
Watch out for Chicago Ted.
OT: If I had the money I would fly down there and lend a hand (er, brain). I really hope this works. This is a cause worth fighting for.

Just because 1,100 people selected "Will Attend" on a Facebook Event doesn't mean that they are all going to be there..
Let's hope Atkinsons does not have the brain to plant some wallnuts and they can get across his lawn.
fuck c*nsorship
at 18 you should be able to do what you want (within reason).
I think they should go live action with this, how cool would that be? better yet just start eating brains, they'll listen... or roll out the napalm. I reccon nerdom is infectious anyway so maybe there's a way round this whole problem

Face it, any Random Joe passing a bunch of people with signs and protesting isn't going to exactly catch your interest. But if you see a bunch of people dressed up as Zombies, well it catches your curiosity, because it's out of the ordinary. The event is more than likely to be covered by some news sources, and has the potential to chain up to national news (barring any extremely catastrophic natural disasters).Nevyrmoore said:
It also shows that these people didn't just protest, they put in time and effort to make a difference, and that will spread their message.
I doubt it. Anyone mature enough to understand the need for an R18+ rating is going to understand this. It is unfortunately the people who don't care, who also won't understand, and therefore probably not care because of that.JWAN said:
My only regret is that I can't attend this because it's in Sydney not Brisbane. My sis is a makeup artist and I've seen her do some really sick body wounds before, she could probably do a mean zombie. I wish them the best of luck, it looks to be a really fun and social event, regardless of the great cause.
Great job Atkinson. Your dark pact with Satan caused the dead to rise and tell you to stop being such a dick.
Also, to be serious now, I fail to see why a zombie protest. Wouldn't it be more effective to dress up as characters from M-rated games that got censored or prohibited in Australia? And then make it seem like they're out of work as a result of said censorship? You know, basically a jobless protest of jobless video game characters? Or even any character in general? At least you'd have a proper theme going.

It's good to see Twilight fans support gaming in Australia. Oh wait, those are real zombies? My bad.
Sadly I had just thought of that when i finished the post. I still like my idea if only because you could have the zombies and the L4D survivors protesting for a common cause and that gives me a hilarious mental picture.Maniac536 said:
