Introduction
Ah, the Filipino netizen. A beautiful creature with an endless capacity for love, validation, and burning rage. If you’re looking to engage with the vibrant Filipino internet community, then welcome to our guide! But remember, we’re not here to bait or troll, we’re here to celebrate and understand the unique culture that is being Filipino.
What is Pinoy Baiting?
Pinoy Baiting is a term used to describe the act of creating content that is designed to provoke a reaction from Filipinos, often by poking fun at aspects of Filipino culture or current events. But let’s flip the script and instead use our understanding of Filipino culture to create content that is engaging, respectful, and downright hilarious.
Why should Filipinos be aware of this?
Awareness is important because it can help Filipinos recognize when they are being targeted by content that may not have their best interests at heart. By being aware, Filipinos can better navigate the online world and engage in discussions in a more informed and critical manner.
How to Engage with the Filipino Community
