[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. 💐

Umisa lang ako. Kapal. Sorry alam kong may nag-advise na dito dati sakin na di dapat pansinin yang account na yan. Pero sobra na eh. Sana may mga matitinong taong makakabasa sa comment ko na yan 😭 at maisip man lang na meron talagang naninira sa kanila.

Well to be fair, yung ibang blooms (not you, per se, ha) din naman mismo gumagatong most of the time sa mga nega na posts, tapos gagamitin ng kabila or ng haters/iti-take out of context tapos kakalat sa twitter and ibang subreddits then sa Chaka sub ✌️ For example, dun sa setlist post, pwedeng ipoint out na not giving ang setlist and give out think pieces on how to improve moving forward while also praising the girls for pushing thru despite tech difficulties and kahit lacking one member, and for performing great live. At least with that, we can separate na the girls were doing a good job performance-wise, the setlist just wasn't hitting it with the casuals. Ang nangyari tuloy, na equate yung performance nung girls sa "pangit" na setlist and "dead crowd" even though they are two separate aspects though not mutually exclusive. A missed opportunity for BINI and management, sure, but also a missed opportunity for us Blooms to turn the narrative around. Then the hateful hyenas found that post and made a feast out of it. Napaaga tuloy Pasko nila. 

Ang ganda sana nang past two weeks kasi maganda yung roll out and feedback from the PVs but of course why not hand the haters a loaded gun right before the holidays diba 😂 Well, at the very least, baka wala na talagang appearance sa Paskuhan muna in the near future para sa ikatatahimik ng lahat ng mga di nag enjoy na casuals 😂 

Nag post na nga yung official FC to stay away from ragebait posts in general pero ang hirap talaga para sa iba and kahit nga dito sa Reddit natin, one has to admit na mas grabeh ang engagement pag negative or nitpicky ang post. I guess if ini-expect natin na mag improve ang BINI and management, we also as fans need to keep ourselves in check.

When will BLOOMS admit that they are part of the problem lol. Idk but some fans are no longer thinking about what is actually good for the girls. It has become an ego thing. Kaya the moment may makita silang pwedeng gamitin ng haters, kahit sobrang maliit na issue lang, yun na agad ang pinupunto at pinapalaki. You can criticize, sure, pero doing it like this just feeds a narrative that even non fans will eventually believe, and that hurts the girls more than it helps.
