Hinangaan ng netizens ang isang babae matapos punahin ng ilan ang kanyang larawan sa social media.
Sa post ni Lane Manlapaz, 18-taong gulang, matapng niyang sinagot ang ilang pumintas sa kulay ng kanyang kilikili.
Ilan kasi sa mga nagkomento ay nag-iwan ng mga negatibong puna sa kanyang kilikili.
Narito ang ilan sa mga komento nila.
”Gr*be naman sa itim!”
“Bili ka na ng pampaputi habang maaga pa.”
”Kad*ri naman yan!”
Hindi ito pinalampas ni Lane, ngunit sa halip na magalit ay mapagkumbaba nitong sinagot ang nasabing mga komento.
Sa isang mahabang Facebook post ay iniisa-isa niya ang paliwanag sa pagkakaroon ng ‘dark armpit’.
“BODY HAIR DOESNT CAUSE BAD ODOR.
“The main cause of it are the bacteria combining with the fluids released by your apocrine glands.
“Although, it gives bacteria more surface to cling to, it is not the MAIN cause. If you clean your bits regularly, you are good.
“DARK ARMPIT DOESNT MEAN BAD ODOR. Again, the main cause of bad odor are the bacteria.
“There are reasons why dark armpits exist and one of them are medical conditions.
“DARK ARMPIT AND BODY HAIR DOESNT MEAN UNHYGIENIC.
“It’s not dugyót.”
Nagpaalala rin siya sa mga indibidwal na nakakaranas ng parehong sitwasyon na ayos lang ito at hindi dapat ikahiya.
“How my underarm looks like or kung gano man siya “kadilim” is none of your business.
“The picture has a filter. It may or may not have darken it more, but I don’t owe any of you an explanation.
“Especially about my personal bits and what I do with it. If you have white armpits, good for you.”
“My post is directed towards people who share the same case.
“TO REMIND THEM THAT IT IS OKAY TO BE PROUD OF WHAT YOU HAVE while working to make it better.
“Hindi ba pwedeng mag-enjoy at maging kumportable sa sarili mong katawan regardless of how it looks like?”
Maliban sa pamimintas ng ilan, marami rin aniya ang nagkomento ng paghanga sa kanya.
May ilan ding nagsabi na lumakas ang loob nila at kumpiyansa sa sarili dahil sa post niya.
“You don’t have any idea how many girls have messaged me saying, “thank you, kasi gustong gusto ko po talaga magsuot ng sleeveless tops pero nahihiya po ako tsaka takot malaït”.
“If you have white underarms, you are not my tärget audience. If you didn’t like what you see, feel free to scroll down.”
Dahil sa sinabi niyang ito, umani siya ito na iba’t ibang reaksiyon mula sa ilang netizens.
Narito ang ilan sa kanilang mga komento (published as is).
“She has courage. No prob on that.. Actually, it’s up to a person if he/she can show it to the public. But for me, better not to wear sleeveless/sando if you’re in the public. Now, if you prepare to show it expect the unexpected. Iba2 ang perception ng human mind. You have to accept it..”
“If you really love yourself you don’t need to show it literally. And yes loving yourself and being proud is important. Pero, we all know na, hindi lahat ng nasa paligid will accept it. May limit, Kadalasan showing something would be a joke and criticism for others.”
“Funny how some people think that these are caused by poor hygiene. Some people with these have a medical condition that is called insulin resistance and is connected to diabetes.”
“Laki ng problema ng mga pilipino s mga kapintasan ng kapwa nila.. Me mga tao lang tlga n keber s mga dark spots nila un iba mnsan kung sino grabe mkapint*s mas maitim pay tinatago, respetuhan lang kung sila kya nila dalin at kau e hndi hayaan nyo lang..”
“May mga kababaihan o tao na hindi maputi ang kili kili kahit na maligo ng limang beses sa isang araw.”
Ano ang masasabi mo tungkol dito?
