That said, the vicious revenge stuff everyone is concerned about is against humans and appears to be a result of, you know, people doing fcked up things because of the zombies fcking up their lives.

I don't even like zombies! I like this particular zombie franchise. But please consider when you start being like "oh, this series is all '''we are the walking dead'''" whether you would be satisfied with anything short of the narrative saying zombies would somehow make us nicer
