OKAY I’LL STOP FR THIS TIME 🧘

@sciencedsikdud actually right 😭 if only they hadnt leaned solely on etymology with no additional context + whataboutism. Their argument would make for a good discussion lol

i lowk think you have a point but at the same time you condescending as hell to Filipinos so good luck getting your point across

@purenigma @zum1n1 thank you i’m glad you understand!!! Feel free to ask anything else about the topic if u want. ❤️

@ElloMetropolis @zum1n1 i understand with your thought process . while its origins are masculine it’s been absorbed into something else based on the nature of the language . again very much so makes sense !

The only reason 'Filipino' sounds masculine to you is because you are looking at it through a Romance or English lens. To us, it’s just a label for a person with no gender attached-

@ROBYNSZENITH @umm_nyanyway @Underwear041838 @rougenoir77 On the other hand, what you’re doing now, is more prescriptive/philosophical. That’s a different kind of claim and one you’re free to do and practice. But again, it does not automatically dispute the current word’s present meaning.

@ROBYNSZENITH @umm_nyanyway @Underwear041838 @rougenoir77 rephrasing for clarity: Your argument shifts the discussion. The european’s argument was simply linguistic by relying on etymology (without factoring semantics), but really about how meaning works in practice, which is descriptive.

no u dont get it there are no genders in the filipino language so no « filipino » is not masculine nor feminine its both and none at the same time

@GameFanaticXS @umm_nyanyway @Underwear041838 @rougenoir77 All that being said, can you imagine policing someone else’s language? My god. The audacity and gall one has to have…only white people can do that and by this person’s logic, is fully understandable why historically lmao. Is it really just in your genes? @umm_nyanyway

@GameFanaticXS @umm_nyanyway @Underwear041838 @rougenoir77 If anything, a gendered term being successfully adopted into an all-encompassing word should be celebrated loudly (not just for men and women but for queer and intersex people too). But for some reason this fucking dumbass of a european is too dense to grasp that.

@umm_nyanyway @Underwear041838 @rougenoir77 since a word’s origin DOES NOT FUCKING MATTER to its current meaning. It’s simply there to acknowledge how languages evolve. Filipinos have assimilated the word into being a general term for citizens of the Philippines.

@umm_nyanyway @Underwear041838 @rougenoir77 And what’s there to reflect on you dumb fuck? Filipino is generally defined by all dictionaries globally as a “person from the Philippines.” It is quite literally as gender-neutral as it can get. Arguing that its etymology makes it masculine is just outright stupid—

@purenigma @zum1n1 *its on the first tweet sorry

@purenigma @zum1n1 In fact, both the cambridge and merriam-webster dictionaries officially define Filipino as “a person from the Philippines.” Literally gender-neutral. How is forcing to make its etymology part of its actual current meaning valid? A word’s origin is =//= current meaning

whole feed right now consists of filipino/a/x + the pitt discourse. all nonsensical. i love this app lmao

@MuseZack it’s just that good, everyone go watch it!!!

Why has the HBO hospital show attracted a level of deranged fandom and anti-fandom that one would normally expect from a series about horny vampires?

@leebee4life @staywith_ash @dennyrobinavich Do you work in healthcare by any chance?

@staywith_ash @dennyrobinavich It’s not realistic that he came back at all. He should have been gone after the first season. That would have been more plausible.

in light of recent The Pitt news, I am once again reminded that pittwt seems to have collectively agreed to completely ignore the fact that the purpose of the pitt is to show the reality of the healthcare and the healthcare workers and not "oh, this character is popular so they should be on screen forever" I am absolutely devastated we won't be seeing Samira next season, but the takes I'm seeing are truly making me want to smash my head in a wall

@umm_nyanyway forcing etymology to have a direct effect on a word’s current meaning and usage is an etymological fallacy—especially when you’re comparing two different languages (connected by colonialism) you dumb fuck. People on here really just straight up pretend to know shit.

you should reflect on why the masculine is considered the neutral

@shelbyboring Like I get liking a character, but their reaction is genuinely perplexing lmao. Has it always been like this?

I’m annoyed at Supriya’s exit, but the concept of needing fandom for a show to succeed is untrue. The majority of the people watching interact with it as a TV show, not something to base their entire online identity around. PittTwt is a bubble.

@CarlosR6B4 @kkuromens Let me slightly backtrack on this by saying that after recent events, The Pitt fans on twitter ARE WEIRD lmao.

@CarlosR6B4 @kkuromens you’re on twitter man, how’d you even determine that these are the “real audience” + the show isn’t exclusively meant for medical professionals. Come on lol

THEY SHOWED HTE KISSING FANART NO FUCKIGN WAY
