Nigerians have a culture of deceit and cutting corners.
Those selling grains will deliberately add stones to the grains when they want to supply
Those selling fruits will add colourings to them
Those selling dried fish will use polish to make it shine
Those selling fuel will use fake meters and gauges
Mechanics will reuse your faulty part and claim they bought new ones
You give someone your clothes to sew, and suddenly your material will not be enough
You employ a housemaid, and she will be stealing foodstuff and your children's clothing
A pastor is telling all sorts of lies and collecting his share of the money you have stolen
Fake drinks are being manufactured all over
Fake drugs are being manufactured all over
Tap water is being packaged as bottled water and being distributed
Fake professors are on TV giving expert opinion
Fake police officers are arresting real police officers
We have fake soldiers too, terrorising the people
It is not POVERTY that made us this way
So many nations poorer than us do not have these tendencies
Nigerians need a change of orientation, a brand new mindset

Sexual advance isn’t sexual harrassment. Especially not when you made the first advance. You people throw words around until it looses meaning

Bringing up a woman’s rapist as a gotcha cause HER HUSBAND said some shit you don’t like.
You people are no better than the people you claim to hate.
Just disgusting all around.

I think the phrase started as a way to give women room to be wrong and human, since they're often held to harsher moral standards
Whether it still serves that purpose, I'm not sure.

Stephen King literally wrote the White Commission transcripts into the novel to prove this exact point, yet pop culture still treats Carrie like an avenging anti-hero.
The prom massacre alone was pure rage, but what followed was methodical domestic terrorism. In the book, Carrie consciously blew up the Mobil gas station, ruptured city water mains to drown volunteer firefighters, cut the emergency power lines, and ignited entire residential neighborhoods. Over 400 people died; most of them sleeping elderly citizens, toddlers, and ordinary neighbors who never stepped foot inside Ewen High School.
King’s genius wasn’t writing a righteous girlboss revenge fantasy; it was exposing the terrifying pipeline of abuse. Systemic cruelty didn't create a noble vigilante, it broke Carrie until she weaponized her trauma and wiped an entire zip code off the map.
You can pity the abused child in the closet while acknowledging that the girl on the street became an indiscriminate mass murderer. #carrie
Carrie is the Villain.
Some of you sympathize with Carrie so much that you refuse to hold her accountable. Yes, she was abused. Yes, she was bullied. But hundreds of innocent people didn't deserve to die for what others did to her. Being a victim doesn't automatically make you a hero. Sometimes, the victim becomes the villain. #Carrie

Because people treat Carrie like a simplistic superhero revenge fantasy instead of the horrifying domestic tragedy Stephen King actually wrote.
In the book, Carrie doesn't just execute her tormentors, she methodically murders over 400 people who had nothing to do with her suffering. She blows up gas stations, snaps power lines to electrocute residential neighborhoods, drowns infants and elderly residents in burning buildings, and consciously locks first-graders and innocent townspeople into a firestorm.
King didn't write the Black Prom to cheerlead a victim getting righteous payback; he wrote it to show that systemic, unchecked abuse doesn't birth noble heroes, it breeds mass-casualty monsters.
The moment people dismiss hundreds of charred innocent civilians as "acceptable collateral damage," they prove they completely missed King’s central horror: Carrie became the ultimate manifestation of the evil that broke her.
Why do people demand accountability from everyone who hurt Carrie, but treat her own victims as acceptable collateral damage? #Carrie

Anyone can get bullied, sure. But King didn’t write a generic story about bullying. He wrote a specific one about a ‘chunky girl with pimples on her neck and back and buttocks,’ a ‘frog among swans’ whose gym teacher privately thinks of her as a ‘fat, whiny bag of lard.’
The pig’s blood is poured on her because Billy calls her a pig. Every screen version still casts a thin, clear-skinned actress and then pretends the difference doesn’t matter. That’s not proof that looks are irrelevant, it’s proof that Hollywood still won’t put a fat, acne-covered girl at the centre of a sympathetic revenge fantasy.
The book’s cruelty is rooted in her body and the neglect that made her that way. Softening it every single time isn’t depth; it’s the same refusal to look at the ugly version.”
Every time #Carrie White gets a new adaptation, people complain she’s not ugly enough. But don’t you think you can be bullied even when you’re not ugly?
