These dudes are not exactly dynasty-building material is what I'm saying.
This called to mind for me the (vastly superior) Shaun of the Dead, specifically the bit where Shaun's crew encounters another group of survivors -- clearly set up such that each of them has an analogue in the other group -- and it's pretty clear that the other group is waaaaaaay better suited to this "survival in a zombie apocalypse" thing than Our Band of Intrepid Idiots.
If it weren't for the fact that you'd have to suffer through Rape Dynasty Cannibal Bullshit to get there, I would almost be interested in a story which seems to set itself up as being about the ~hard decisions~ people have to make to survive . . . only for it to be revealed that they're goddamned idiots fed on too much grimdark media, while everybody else has already started on recovery and helping each other out. (But I'd feel like shit for the people got raped and eaten, so I would still probably nope out of it.)
1) you cannot extrapolate the behavior of soldiers in a war zone toward civilians on the enemy side to the behavior of random civilians to each other immediately after a natural disaster, 2) the day after a natural disaster is waaaaaaay too soon to found a rape dynasty, 3) raw fish is delicious and even if it wasn't, when you're starving you eat what's available so so much for your grim realism that allows for rape dynasties but not raw fish, 4) once things have devolved into a rapefest free for all, boys are getting raped too and eventually you, yes you, will land on the rape roster.
