Bianca Gonzalez’s thoughts on celebrity bashing trigger netizens
Television host Bianca Gonzalez has always been vocal about her thoughts, which she shares to followers through her social media pages. This time, she could not help but pose a question.
“Too much negativity with some fans bashing their idols’ perceived rivals. Kelan ba naging ganito? (When did this happen?)” Gonzalez tweeted with curiosity on Tuesday.
“Pwede naman maging civil kung di mo talaga bet (You can be civil if you do not really like someone),” she added.

Because of her tweet, one netizen asked Gonzalez to name who she was referring to. “This kind of tweet will just fuel more negativity. [I]f it’s clear who you were referring to, maybe the fans can address your concern,” @nasasprismworld wrote.

And, its your tweet that fuels negativity kasi ini-imply mo na may particular group of bashers. Hindi siya grupo grupo, nasa tao ang pagiging basher. 😉 https://t.co/ACPzZzW70t

Meanwhile, another netizen answered back at her first tweet by sharing a quote from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s comic opera, “The Marriage of Figaro”.
Once again, the television host replied that everyone was free to criticize. “Pero iba ang criticizing sa bashing/pambabastos/pambabalahura (But criticizing is different from bashing/humiliating/being vulgar),” Gonzalez shot back.
I agree na free tayo to criticize! Pero iba ang criticizing sa bashing/pambabastos/pambabalahura. https://t.co/Ir1kOC7UyP
