..is it me or does nobody ever wear armor or protection in zombie media. I am not asking for people to wear full plate armor but even a layer or two of well wrapped clothing would stop most bites breaking skin since humans have pretty meh mouths for biting cause of our mediocre bite force. Everyone seems to just go bare back.

gotta have stakes, OP. anyone properly armored up and fully loaded would make a zombie apocalypse a cakewalk, its much more entertaining to have a underdog who struggles against the odds.

They better take each other's v-cards before offing themselves.

There was an entire arc in the Walking Dead where Rick & Co had zombie-proof armor that they got after beating the Givernor

Because most zombie media ends up being written by hacks making bad social commentary or other writers who want a generic modern backdrop to tell a very specific story. For the latter it doesnt matter and the former only ever comment on it to mock it and jerk off their particular OC. They'll show one guy in plate armor, likely making it unrealistically heavy because theyre proud of their retardation, then the guy falls over, gets mobbed, and the entire concept of even wearing as much as a leather jacket gets written off. Nobody seriously entertains a concept of zombie settings because then they'd be forced to admit one or more social truths that are uncomfortable to them or display actual satisfying traditional story beats like acts of heroism, both running contrary to their retarded ideas of nihilism

>is it me or does nobody ever wear equipment that would slow the spreading of an infectious disease?
yeah. it's a mystery.

>>149052067 (OP)
something like that chainmail meant for shark diving or motorcycle armor would probably be great against zombie bites.

This is the exact kind of faggot I mean
>people didn't want to lose their jobs or take experimental medicine over a particularly virulent flu so this means they'd just ignore rabid human beings eating each other
Same shit as back4blood where some smugly condescending leftist pretends he would totally get it right by listening to everything the government tells him.

It's a human jaw, a pair of coveralls and some work gloves would do the trick.

Main efficacy of masks wasn't preventing healthy people from getting sick but making it harder for the already infected to spread germs. As long as used properly alongside correct pathogen protection techniques.

Yes, that's what I wrote. Thanks for repeating it.

>>149052639
Except an actual comparison to COVID masks would require the zombies to wear masks.

There has been at least one thread realizing medieval gear hard counters the zombie apocalypse in every way. I'm busting into a museum first thing when it goes down.

In CDDA a great mid game armor is a self made "survivor suit", it has middling protection but 100% coverage, meaning ALL attacks need to breach the armor to deliver any effects. Such as bite attacks from the hordes of normal zombies.

>>149052414
Masks don't do anything retard

>>149052067 (OP)
You know what's actually wild? how effective cardboard and duct-tape is against bites. seriously it's dog shit in terms of actual safe combat armor but it's built specifically for anti-biting. Hell a thick leather jacket is almost invulnerable to bites lol

>>149052067 (OP)
If you get but just tie your shoelaces together so you're not a threat as a zomber

>why aren't these fictional characters perfect beings of pure logic that never make mistakes, behave irrationally, or take anything less than the most optimal course of action?
>why don't they just solve every single problem before it even starts?

Do you just not want any kind of plot to happen? Will you seriously not be satisfied until every work of fiction is just the characters sitting on their asses and blankly staring at a wall?
>why hurr durr durr hurr durr durr?

>>149052414
This is pretty much it. For all the blither and bluster about how much better and smarter you are you people would be the retards that get bit and don't tell anyone until its too late in a zombie movie.
Piss and moan, shit your pants(maybe cum a little) but that's the kind of narcissistic self absorbed asshole you lot are.
