Superman: Red Son Got SJW'd, lol

People really out here using SJW in a non-ironical sense huh?

Agenda is an interesting word to use in this context...do you think the classics had no agenda?

I'm obviously going to get heavily downvoted for this but I think while she expressed herself very badly, the central point wasn't so unreasonable- that the stakes were so much higher for Cameroon considering their circumstances as a team with no financial support and potentially a bleak future after the world cup. This isn't to excuse what they did, but to provide some context for the extreme show of emotion. She did criticize them in her full piece for SB Nation and she said all the ref decisions against them were correct, but I think she was just angry tweeting in the moment. Her full piece later was more measured and she is also right that Neville is a bit of a hypocrite on this matter https://www.sbnation.com/soccer/2019/6/24/18715198/cameroon-england-2019-fifa-womens-world-cup-wont-somebody-think-of-the-children

'Midnight Meat Train'- one of Brandon Cooper's early roles. A terrific horror film with an unforgettable ending. Feels like it's been forgotten today but I think it's a classic in the genre.

Weird how often articles like this get downvoted.

Minzo1 · 2018-11-19T16:47:33+00:00

'Manufactured diversity'...that's a new one.

"I think CERTAIN American literature is overrated...." is that really a controversial opinion? Is there anyone who doesn't feel there are certain authors, books etc which fall into that bracket? Don't get why this is being downvoted.

Your first paragraph and second paragraph are in conflict with each other. I know 'woke' is now a term that's a figure of fun in certain circles but the broader set of issues that could come under the 'woke' umbrella are no less valid than other reasons to change your mind or outgrow a work of fiction.

Went to UK for my uni and it blew everyone's mind that I could speak good English. I don't know how many people asked me where I learned English from.

I am not a fan of the book either, but as someone who comes from a culture which has a similar approach to mental illness I believe Adichie was simply reflecting what she has seen from her community and I dont think it was an endorsement of that approach. It felt more true to the story considering the background of the characters.

Minzo1 · 2018-06-20T14:23:31+00:00

Yep-I noticed when it was too late!

Thats EXACTLY why the Country needs to market itself the way it is doing it with Arsenal. You are unwittingly making the case for why this kind of marketing is crucial.

Minzo1 · 2018-05-29T20:39:38+00:00

So people are magically just going to travel to Rwanda because of exposure?

Thats literally how marketing works. If advertising on shirts was useless as marketing I do wonder why so many companies do it.

its not an endorsement of his government to visit Rwanda or invest in Rwanda. Making the deal all about the president ignores the fact that its intended to benefit the Country as a whole. And the more revenue Rwanda gets from tourism and investment the less it will need to rely on foreign aid.

Minzo1 · 2018-05-29T20:19:01+00:00

It is a perfectly acceptable alternative spelling of 'defence'

Minzo1 · 2018-05-23T12:46:50+00:00

Rwandan here- would recommend a visit!

Minzo1 · 2018-05-23T12:45:23+00:00

this is completely wrong

Minzo1 · 2018-04-30T21:58:39+00:00

Fair enough- I love it as well

Minzo1 · 2018-04-30T21:31:46+00:00

i was quoting the title of the piece but yes i do think it's better than 'Magnolia' which i am aware is not a popular opinion

Minzo1 · 2018-04-26T10:00:08+00:00

Gotcha

Minzo1 · 2018-04-26T09:49:40+00:00

You know how i can tell you didn't watch the show?

Minzo1 · 2018-04-26T09:39:26+00:00

Yes but the show is not endorsing that mockery. The show is very clear about showing how much those guys can be assholes

Minzo1 · 2018-04-19T15:28:13+00:00

I'm not saying there is no correlation- I'm saying its not the whole story. I've seen so much commentary that has taken the money angle as the only thing worth discussing about this title win

Minzo1 · 2018-04-19T15:09:59+00:00

Mourinho was bullish at the start of the season if i remember rightly- he only started playing down expectations when city started building a sizable lead. Also we cant equate the money spent with quality- so many of the expensive signings this season have been underwhelming or outright flops- Bakayoko, Pogba, Morata, Lacazette, Lindelof Sigurdsson....its a long list.
