you started with how SB19's performance lacked pinoy representation, then suddenly it's about their fandom set your expectations high. ano ba talaga? if some fans acted arrogantly or set unrealistic expectations for you, then that's another issue entirely. that might explain why you expected more, but it doesn't support your claim that the performance lacked pinoy representation. huwag mong gawing basis yung issue mo sa fandom para i-criticize yung performance, bc those are two completely different conversations. and yes, your opinion is subjective. mine is too. but saying "it's subjective" doesn't really address the point i raised. i'm not questioning whether you're allowed to have an opinion, i'm questioning the reasoning behind it.

BREAKING: funny how you never had this much to say when your co-fandom was busy slutshaming women. now that your own side got affected, suddenly you found your voice?

To every A’TIN reading this: let’s not respond the way SB19 has been treated. Don’t invest your energy trying to prove anything to people who have repeatedly chosen mockery over respect. Let them face the consequences of their own actions. Time and truth always have the final say. Most importantly, don’t rewrite the narrative just to earn public sympathy. If you spent your time mocking and belittling others, you cannot suddenly demand kindness when the tables have turned. At sa mga magtatanong, “Why even respond?” Sometimes, a reminder is necessary. Calling out manipulation and narrative-twisting isn’t about retaliation; it’s about refusing to let dishonesty go unchallenged. Let’s be better. Let’s stay respectful. Let them learn the lesson they refused to learn when they were the ones laughing. 😊

This is probably the first and last time I’ll respond to this because I don’t like fan wars. But I also don’t like seeing misinformation and selective narratives being pushed. What I find ironic is how some people are now preaching about “not expecting a huge crowd” and “festivals being a platform for introduction,” when those exact considerations were not given to SB19 during Lolla. After their set, many of you mocked the crowd size, laughed at the open-field setup, made comments like “buti na lang naka-tent ang Mojave,” and even dragged engagement numbers just to discredit their achievement. Those posts were public. They happened. So please don’t act as if this narrative suddenly came out of nowhere. What’s happening now is simply people remembering how SB19 was treated. If the belief is that festivals are meant for exposure, that every artist starts somewhere, and that even five supporters are enough to give your best performance, then why wasn’t that same grace extended to SB19? Why was their first major festival appearance reduced to crowd jokes and engagement comparisons? No one should be mocked for performing on a global stage. Not SB19. Not BINI. The difference is this: if BINI performs at Summer Sonic and the crowd is smaller than expected, I will not mock them. I will not laugh at them. I will not use attendance numbers to invalidate their milestone because I refuse to do what your fandom has done to SB19. You cannot ridicule another artist for the same situation and then ask everyone for understanding when it becomes your turn. Support BINI all you want. Celebrate every achievement they earn. But please stop rewriting history to make it seem like we attacked first. Many of us stayed quiet while our artists were being mocked. This is simply a response to the double standard that was created. Support your artists. Celebrate your milestones. But don’t encourage kindness only when it’s your favorites on the receiving end. The same respect you ask for today should have been given to others yesterday.
