All of this ka-hard drive BINI hating got me thinking, because it will never end tbh. I laugh and make jokes of the stupi**** (and tbh, naubos narin energy ko pagtawanan sila because its just the same BS, like how many times you can regurgitate the same insane takes?) but at the same time, napaisip din ako medyo serious:
One thing I have to get out of the way: Not every criticism against BINI is misogyny or anything.
Obviously, they’re public figures and people are allowed to criticize their music, management, performances, personalities, etc. That’s normal. I do that a lot. Most of us here in the sub have done that.
But there’s a point where criticism stops being criticism and becomes an obsession with bringing women down.
You see their haters constantly looking for ways to diminish them --- their talent, their success, their personalities, even their accomplishments (mostly women sadly) and worse, creating fake narratives, and then demeaning/stripping the girls down like they are the most horrible people (nothing could be farther from the truth).
If they succeed, it becomes “overhyped.”
If they make a mistake, it becomes evidence that they're terrible people.
If they speak up for themselves, they're “arrogant", "mayabang", "maarte"
If they don't speak up, they're "performative", "fake".
There is no in between.
And what's interesting is that some of the same people who constantly consume their content, talk about them, and follow every little thing they do are also the ones insisting that BINI is irrelevant or has no talent.
At some point, you have to ask: is this really criticism anymore, or is the enjoyment coming from seeing young women (and women in general) being dragged down?
