i mean, ikaw mismo nagsabi you think anyone who doesn't speak Filipino/Tagalog is a hypocrite, as if being Filipino is Tagalog by default. ganoon ba kasakit sa bu'ot intindihin na yung sa "sariling kanila" hindi Tagalog? kaunting self-awareness naman.
you did not read the whole thread lmfao i LITERALLY said na i acknowledge tagalog as a communication tool. i come from a multi-ethnic city. its literally courtesy for us there to ask what language everyone prefers before we start discussions and YES we accomodate tagalog speakers
and never i did say that tagalog speakers should fuck off, bc that also applies to me since im ALSO a tagalog speaker ππππ also who gives a FUCK about english i never pushed english over tagalog saan ba niyo nahugot yan???
"maybe putting too much national prestige on one ethnic group's language has fucked up regional dynamics"
randos on twt: "so what you prefer english huh you dayuhan licker?!?!?"
nuance is absolutely dead lmfao

Its so surreal to be reading the late Resil Mojares amid PH language discourse flaring up again. Some folks acting like its the 20th century and think a monocultural homogenous ethno-state is gonna be the cure to all our problems and not... the terrible idea it always was

my new favorite thing is some folks calling it "pavictim mentality" because I guess accountability for their hegemony makes them very very uncomfortable
where the everloving fuck did i mention that LMAOOOOO im literally a mindanao tagalog speaker my bisaya skills are worse than my tagalog ππππ nilagay ko nga sa thread na i DONT mind it being used to bridge communication thats not the issue stop being dense ππ
the funniest shit about this is sa cebu i often get mistaken as a tagalog bc the longer you talk to me, the more of my tagalisms come out ππ yet cebuanos ive met have not given me shit about this and some even encouraged me to speak tagalog to be more comfortable
why are nationalists pushing people to love filipino as a "sariling wika". Its literally not to a significant number of us π maybe idk the reason why some cebuanos are agressive about it is bc they love their "sariling wika" too much, which is surprise- not tagalog
maybe toxic regionalism wouldnt be so ramphant if our diversity is truly recognized rather than just used as a cultural prop or a trending loanword but thats too much apparently

tryhard pacool loser behavior when you use our terms like yawa boang bilat ngani bai to hop on trendy vocab or our words like puhon padayon amping duyog dilaab to name your cultural events or aesthetic brands but then go on to say "bisaya" derogatorily

why are tagalogs obsessed with hating visayans yet using random ass words from cebuano and stuff, bakit lahat ng tagalogs ngayon nag ng-ngani, bai, etc.... pero naghahate sa buong visayas liek nagatawag sila sa buong visayas ng "dds" at damo iban na insulto liek why
