Yes, it is true that #ASEAN is #Kpop 's largest overseas consumers—with the #Philippines and #Indonesia at the top. It was us who turned the Hallyu Wave into a global phenomenon. Without us, you wouldn't be where you are today.

@WmShakesp3are What's the meaning? Because it's actually written and pronounced as "mamser" not "mamsir" nor "ma'am/sir". And in the Philippine context, it's the English equivalent of our native languges's genderless and gender-neutral words and pronouns. @considermycat

It's actually more accurately written as "mamser". That's how we differentiate between "mamser" and "ma'am/sir". Although in practice, no one really cares because mamser ma'am/sir is used in the Philippines as the English equivalent for our genderless and gender-neutral labels and pronouns like "sila", "nila", "kayo". It is __not__ referring to the person's gender. Context is important. Cultural context most especially. 😉 @considermycat

@pedestrians1st 2/2 It actually became an issue a few years back when a FilAm visited the Philippines, went to a fastfood chain, and was called mamser. The FilAm went hysterical and was even recorded calling the crew to stand in front of her while she berated the poor crew from head to toe and supposedly educated the crew about "pronouns" and LGBTQ. Guess what happened? The country's top LGBTQ voices spoke against her. There was one resounding reason: if you don't understand how things work in the Philippines, keep your cool. The FilAm misunderstood the "mamser" and she went hysterical and publicly shamed the crew. She apologized and was reported to have returned to the US where she _allegedly_ started calling Filipinos racists and anti-LGBTQ. There was absolutely nothing discriminatory about "mamser" or even "sir/mam" in the Philippine culture. It is polite formal speech and polite speech that is very common in our genderless and gender-neutral native languages and cultural rules that was brought into English, a language that is strictly gender-based. The FilAm failed to consider that and went ballistic and tried educate Filipinos about her own foreign culture and sensitivities. (When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Meaning, don't bring your foreign culture and act like you're superior than them.) @considermycat

@pedestrians1st But that's the problem with English, you need it. We don't need it in all Philippine languages (except Philippine English of course), Austronesian languages, and in East Asian languages.

Our native languages are gender-neutral and/or genderless (they're not the same). But English is neither.

In English: What is your order, sir/mam/mamser? <- easiest way to be polite
In Philippine languages and dialects: Ano po ang order nila? <- very formal and very polite speech level (highest level).

Now, if we bring in the culture factor, almost all Pacific-Asian (not Asia-Pacific which includes Oceania) cultures are deep into being polite and using polite speech, not to mention being formal in certain situations.

English lacks polite speech levels, and it's formal speech system is different from the way we Pacific-Asians think it should be. Thus, like in Philippine English, we have to find ways to bring our local languages and cultural requirements into English.

Like in the example above, mamser must be used.

@dazzlepansy I'm not sure what you meant by "servile bowing" and "scraping", but bowing by itself in Asian culture has nothing to do with demeaning yourself, it's an outward expression of respect. Now, someone actually doing servile bowing are usually in a situation where they're begging for that someone to give them another chance or to forgive them. There's a context behind a servile bow which even non-Asians do. I mean, if you experience that situation where you're desperate, you don't think about it, your body just automatically moves. But outside of that context, bowing is not a sign of being servile, it's an expression of respect. Asian cultures, even here in the Philippines, are very expressive when it comes to respect and being polite. We show it through actions and our words. (We have polite speech even in the Philippines, most people assume only Koreans and Japanese have polite speech rules.) It's not us lowering ourselves before someone. Sure, I will agree that real servile bowing should be forgotten and we should instead stand our ground if we know we are right. But again,. cultures come into play. In many Asian cultures, it's better to do a servile bow at the right moment to turn the situation in your favour, than to escalate the situation right there and then. We believe that showing humility is the best defense _and_ offense. And usually it works well in favour of the person who did a servile bow. It is actually a weapon. 😜 @considermycat

@R0B0_G0D The mozilla.social project they're going to launch is not their first instance in the Fediverse. ;) They used to have their own instance when the Fediverse was still using the OStatus protocol. Also, there's no need to phrase it as “stealing ideas”, it's not like one group owns it. The more instances there are, the better for the Fediverse network. Now, if we're going to insist on that “stealing ideas” approach, well, everyone stole the idea from identica. LOL. Which is good. ^_^ @chrisvitalos @mozilla
