theres a trend for photographers to offer zombie themed photo shoots, a photographer in america did a set of the scenes from the walking dead using children? when we know how abhorrent it would be for the theme to be sexual why is violence ok? isnt dressing up and posing children in adult themes then taking photos for the adults gratification a form of abuse? and why would anyone want a picture of their child as the undead?

Yeah I don't love that one with the baseball bat, but the ones on the vice link are amazing! Love it.

I understand why it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea but it isn't abuse

Apparently there are clues right through that last episode about who dies. It's staring is in the face.

Yeah the gun one is carol mercy killing that kid. Had to be done man.

ElsaAintAsColdAsMe · 08/09/2016 21:09

It was all about the vampires when I was at school.

Other generations have played cowboys or soldiers or cops and robbers.

This is just the latest fad.

I really can't get worked up about it at all.

(I'm not fussed if Glenn dies, just don't let it be Abe)

I don't want to know dixie 'feels about person for bat' Hmm Grin

Ineedmorelemonpledge · 08/09/2016 21:10

It's not the gun to the head that's disturbing it's the little kid dressed up like a middle aged Alan Partridge character! GrinGrinGrin

Bigfam · 08/09/2016 21:14

DixieNormas I'm begging you. Please pm me who
I've re watched the last episode so many times and can't work it out!
ElsaAintAsColdAsMe I saw a clip today for the new season that apparently shows abe wrestling a walker, it's a big ginger bloke, but to me it doesn't look like abe. Wink

ElsaAintAsColdAsMe · 08/09/2016 21:16

There's hope then Bigfam I love him a little bit.

I sort of hope it's Carl.

Bigfam · 08/09/2016 21:17

The comparison in the dm link is saying it's as bad as re-producing the scenes from fsog with kids. I knew I shouldn't have read it, that's made me so Angry

MistressMerryWeather · 08/09/2016 21:19

That is so feckin' cute.

Look at the little Daryl (in the link). :o

I don't reckon it's carl either. Michonne maggie or aaron.
I will definitely weep if it's daryl though 😢
Saw him in lady gaga's video for judas and thought phhwoooaar, he looks similar in twd (just a tad greasier Grin)

BarbarianMum · 08/09/2016 21:20

Honestly, I always find the idea of dead kids disturbing. Even when acting/playing lurching around eating people's brains.

MumOnTheRunCatchingUp · 08/09/2016 21:22

Where's the op gone?

ElsaAintAsColdAsMe · 08/09/2016 21:23

I don't think it's Carl but I wouldn't care if he got it, or sasha or rosetta or Glenn really.

I don't want it to be Michonne, her bottom is too lovely to go anywhere, Darryl or Abe.

Bigfam · 08/09/2016 21:24

Probably thinks we're all heathens for declaring our love for twd.
Sorry op!

jemima39 · 08/09/2016 21:25

still here, trying to get little one to sleep x

jemima39 · 08/09/2016 21:26

no, I LOVE the walking dead, I just dont like seeing children portrayed in adult themes

OP posts:
Soubriquet · 08/09/2016 21:28

So what about horror films that actually have children as a main character

That's adult themed

Bigfam · 08/09/2016 21:29

Who do you think met lucille jemima39?

ArnoldRimmerBSc · 08/09/2016 21:29

OP I'm with you. It is very disturbing. The walking dead has an age rating of 18, so why would you let toddlers act out some of the most disturbing scenes from it?

HobnailsandTaffeta · 08/09/2016 21:29

The gun/bat is TOTALLY wrong.

The vice ones are beautiful, but no I have too close of an experience to enjoy seeing children as the undead, it upsets me.

I do think that it isn't abuse and it is the child's/parents choice though.

TWD has a central child character - plus one major child character who was zombified - you watch that but object to children doing 'adult themed' things?

mine have been zombies a few times - not getting the drama
