Again, stop giving enggagement to those accounts the attention they’re clearly looking for. Not everything needs a reaction. Some accounts are obviously just trying to provoke both sides and start another issue. Both fandoms need to learn when to ignore and move on.
Convo during inuman:
Me: Ang bayolente pala ng mga kanta sa mga laro natin noon, noh? Like “LANGIT LUPA IMPYERNO, IM IM IMPYERNO, SAKSAK PUSO TULO ANG DUGO, PATAY O BUHAY ALIS KA NA DIYAN”
Friend: Pero di naman tayo nagsaksakan noon.
Ang sad no? Our society being patriarchal for the longest time taught our women, old and young, that it's okay to praise and idolize men for the same things that women are shamed and dragged for. Like it's so disgusting to see women tearing other women down for the sake of MEN 🙃
To Madam Celeste Legaspi, as an OPM fan, I have huge respect for you as one of the pillars of OPM. I also want to say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with not being into BINI’s music. We, as Blooms, can respect that. It’s also completely fine for you to mention BINI in interviews, especially when you’re being asked about the current music scene.
Yes, we are all entitled to our own choices and preferences, but being entitled to your opinion doesn’t mean you’re exempt from being respectful when expressing it.
What bothered many people wasn’t simply the fact that you mentioned BINI, but the tone and expressions that came with it. It came across as though you were speaking about them with disdain, as if you were disgusted by their music or didn’t even want to acknowledge them.
You can love SB19. You can have your own preferences. You can even prefer their music over BINI’s. But you don’t need to drag another artist down just to highlight the artist you support.
And please look at the video attached here. This is how truly PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS handle interviews when talking about other artists. Ma’am Regine Velasquez, Sir Gary Valenciano, Sir Ogie Alcasid, Ma’am Lani Misalucha, and Ma’am Agot Isidro have all praised BINI without having to downplay another group in the process.
That is what professionalism looks like: being able to recognize another artist’s achievements even when they aren’t the artist you personally listen to or support.
You’ve been in this industry for decades, Ma’am, so I’m sure you already understand that artists don’t have to share the same taste to show one another basic respect. You can praise your favorite artist without making another artist feel small.
You don’t have to love BINI. You just have to respect them as fellow artists.
You can copy this post and share it on other social media platforms, especially on accounts with a large following, so more people can see the full context. Please make sure the post stays complete and unedited so the information doesn’t get taken out of context.
walang BINI ganap today so let's settle something important:
sino sa BINI ang unang makakain ng zombie and bakit?
ako si Maloi. 😭 Sorry madam!
not because she can't survive, pero kilala naman natin yan. short attention span, madaling ma-distract, impulsive, at minsan nasa sarili niyang little world. habang yung ibang girls nagbabalak na kung saan tatakbo at saan magtatago, si Maloi baka may nakita lang na anik anik sa gilid at biglang nawala na sa train of thought niya. Yung tipong may rendezvous point sila tapos naligaw.
tapos knowing Maloi, hindi rin ako magugulat kung imbes na tumakbo palayo sa zombie, curious pa siya kung ano ginagawa. baka kausapin pa niya. for sure gagayahin nya ung gestures. baka pagtawanan niya. tapos makalimutan niyang zombie apocalypse na pala. 😭
sorry Madam, mahal kita, pero feeling ko ikaw talaga unang makakain. 😭
Blooms, pasayahin niyo naman ako. Sino sa tingin niyo unang mawawala sa BINI zombie apocalypse and bakit? defend your answer.
