@BamBam1A @MsYbBnJ_7 @marktuan As a new bird, who neither speaks nor understands Thai and Chinese, always thought you guys would release a new ahgabong after somebody showed Bam the red black version. You guys are fighting and I am here always lost in translation

“Uy, tumaba ka,” was what my aunties and uncles told me during my video call with them on Christmas eve. They said it with fondness. I said this before and I will say it again. “Uy, tumaba ka” is not necessarily body-shaming in Philippine culture. When my mom or relatives tell me that I gained weight, I don’t think that the intention is to shame. When they say that I gained weight, it’s usually synonymous with, “Hey, it’s good that you are not skipping meals and you are eating well.” To our elderlies, weight reduction could mean health problems or you’re not taking care of yourself well enough, or worse, you’re into drugs. Uy, tumaba ka is also our covert way of saying, “I remember you exactly from the last time I saw you, that’s why I would notice any change.” Taken in this context, uy, tumaba ka is actually thoughtful and sweet. So, please, let’s stop importing Western ideas that do not necessarily fit in our culture. Western “correctness” is ironically toxic and raises weak individuals who take things without nuance. It sounds offensive says my White colonizers, so I HAVE to feel offended. It develops individuals who easily get offended even by the most innocuous and innocent statements.
