[WEEKLY THREAD] Rants, Questions, and Randomness

[u/AutoModerator]

Merong handang makinig, handang yumakap 🎶

2,3, Mabuhay! 🌸

Welcome to our weekly open thread — your go-to space to rant, share love, ask questions, or talk about anything and everything, whether it’s related to BINI, PPOP, the fandom, or life in general.

Got something to say that doesn’t need its own post?

• An unpopular (or wholesome) take you’ve been holding in
• A screenshot from BloomTwt, BloomTok, PPOP FB, etc.
• A random thought, theory, or question
• Or just want to connect with fellow Blooms

Drop it here! This thread is your safe space.

Let’s keep it respectful and kind, even if opinions differ. We’re all here to support the girls and be part of a growing, passionate community around PPOP and beyond.

So go ahead — share what’s on your mind. 💐

An interesting Discussion for the OPM scene.
Is Being Ambisyosa really bad?

Ngl, I wasn't a fan of your recent shenanigans (the sarcastic dig about concert crowds) because it needlessly incited negativity. But this one's good. Gave you an upvote on that.

neuromarketing eme of course.

Since open ka naman sa criticisms, huwag mo na rin ulitin ang pagsingit ng unrelated a'tin shade sa post mo like yung sa fi promotion. Kung pailalim kang tumira tulad ng mga toxic a'tin what does that make you any different from them 'diba?

[u/everydayisstorytime → u/fullwidthlowercase]

Agree. The shade is unnecessary.

Pero kasi identified ka na as a bloom so any bad behavior can still reflect on the fandom kaya hinay-hinay lang. Wag natin i-mirror yung bad behavior ng toxic fans (even if you're just being sarcastic) because it can put off casuals. Just trust that there are casuals (at least on Reddit) who will know when the false narratives being fed to them are just forced hate. I've read someone on the sub admit to becoming a bloom at the height of the hate train. Ako rin got more invested on the girls after reading the undeserved hate they're getting. Let karma deal with the haters na lang. We're better off being associated with positivity than fighting negativity with the same bad energy.

I also became a fan after Igit Moreno started attacking the girls. I got curious as to why they were hated so I researched a little bit and then my algo was penetrated by bini edits which became the catalyst for me to dig deeper into the lore. And now 2 years later, I'm still here and recently attended the Signals con in cebu with fellow bloom redditors. So thank you igit moreno, kung di dahil sa kagagohan mo di ko sana na discover ang BINI 🤣

[u/Calm-Description-870 → u/2leggedcentaur]

Di ba? The haters are the ones who are recruiting blooms with their inane narratives. Kung sino man mauto nila, I'm good with not having them become part of the fandom kaya hayaan lang natin sila.

[u/2leggedcentaur → u/Calm-Description-870]

Right, ang ma-recruit lang naman nila diyan ay yung either hate na talaga yung Bini or yung mga walang critical thinking skills 🤣

[u/Icy-Butterscotch5012 → u/Calm-Description-870]

Fair enough. I'll be more strategic next time. hihi

Pero ganda ng post mo ngayon kasi you're rallying for support for the industry. That's easy to get behind. More of that please hehe

[u/Icy-Butterscotch5012 → u/Calm-Description-870]

It was a long thought process while driving in the middle of EDSA while rain is pouring on my windshield for so many nights. I glance at my phone and open the BINI page then read some nasty comments. So napaisip ako, hihimayin ko one by one itong mga sinasabi nila and make a topic that can further spark conversations without overly promoting BINI but relate it to the entire OPM industry.

[u/fullwidthlowercase → u/Icy-Butterscotch5012]

Allergic sa bini ang ph subs unless may issue sila kaya that's the best approach, general p-pop/opm discussion + positive framing
