They make even the best modern Frowncore art horror look like boring ass, which is crazy considering that they were working with grainy ass cameras and low budget effects.

Pick any frame from any episode, even one of absolutely no significance and with no defining features, and you can still recognize that it's Buffy. Nothing else really looks like it. It's weird.

So...why not have philosophers from Africa and wherever else included along with usual ones...why remove anyone?

The Telegraph - University students demand philosophers such as Plato and Kant are removed from syllabus because they are white

TFW that's already their approach but journalists know that accurate reporting won't get them anti-academia outrage clicks

The student union at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) insists that when studying philosophy “the majority of philosophers on our courses” should be from Africa and Asia.

Quite an ironic exposure of reactionary outrage culture.
