actually the era that most kids reading animorphs grew up in was considered a peaceful one and there was a prevailing theory, mostly among us kids and adults who should have known better, that wars were largely a thing we were growing out of
you can say "oh i saw september 11th coming" until you're blue in the face and maybe you did, but i sure didn't, and a lot of other people didn't either. odds are applegate would have never let that scene from #37 where the gang crashes a plane into a building go through if she'd have been that prophetic
you grew up in the bluest liberal part of california didn't you
newsflash no one gave a shit about rwanda any more than we gave a shit about those starving african children. my own grandmother would change the channel when they'd play the sappy 'please donate money' commercials and remark that 'they've been begging for money for that same kid for fifty years'
most normal kids hadn't even heard of rwanda and those that did thought nothing of it. that was then, as it is now, a world away
nope. middle of nowhere and poor as dirt. try fucking educating yourself you disgusting human trash, these were children being forced to kill other children. maybe you were an ignorant little shit who wasn't educated on this because you were 7 or 8 but don't speak for everyone in your age bracket and call it a ~time of peace~
you sound like some new england upper middleclass white kid that live in a giant sitcom house and your biggest worry was asking someone to a dance. gosh will topanga ever like me???
yawn. no1currs because africans aren't real people, everyone knows that
you parents were totally socal hippies, i can see it now. crying over all the injustices of the world, making their own dishes, worrying about their eco-footprint or whatever before that shit got in vogue, etc, etc
look i know applegrant are moonbat hippies like this too but newsflash not everyone who enjoyed this series was. in fact, i'd say most people who enjoyed this series weren't, just like most people don't really care about all those starving africans or rwandans or ethiopians or whatever. africa is literally a hellhole, the bottom 10 nations with the lowest life expectancies are all there, stop the fucking presses. let the africans worry about the africans; hand-wringing and busybodying in the problems of other nations is what largely has led us to our present-day clusterfuck
maybe pull your head out of your wicca herb leaves or however the fuck you people spend a sunday night and join the rest of us in the real world
yeah fucking seriously. suddenly flatland is the marshes of tdm and sjw wank.
i mean, growing up animorphs really seriously stuck with me. i think some part of me became really aware of how little i knew about the world around me. then again, i'm a sap for philosophical debate. but for ffs rwanda really doesn't have shit to do with it.
granted now i want to reread the series. i never finished the last two books.

Rebutle's not dead - she's frozen! And as soon as we find the cure for meth mouth we're gonna thaw out the Butle and she's gonna be pretty pissed off. You know why? Have you ever drunk Jolly Rancher soda? Well multiply that by fifteen million times, that's how pissed off The Butle's gonna be. I'm gonna get the Butle, and Nazitra, and Totheskye and Werewolfhacker, and a case of White Wolf books and scroooolllllll down to LJ....

(Anonymous) 2015-03-29 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)no, rwanda isn't relevant to animorphs at all. it's not relevant to anyone except rwadans and tumblr-coddled sjws like this one
i never fail to be embarrassed by how much of the animorphs fandom is composed of people like this
