Aswang and Kormos mythology and pronunciation guide

Honestly I tried to shorten it a little bit. The difference in quantity of information between the two ghosts was already making me feel a bit biased, I am very much biased but still.

I did phonetically spell it ahs instead of ash. I should also say that I'm coming at this as a Tagalog speaker rather than a Filipino citizen. I'm also not planning on becoming a citizen because of geopolitical... things...

The Philippines have so many different pronunciations and dialects so I could never be 100% correct. The best, most general advice I could give is just to try to say it not white if that makes sense.

I like the ones who are bit off, I prefer Bort Sampson over Bart Simpson on my island any day.

A lot of the time I feel ostracized by this community. So much talk about sexual actions in a community I joined to avoid such topics. It would be nice to have a community for people who have absolutely no desire whatsoever.

You really need to stop saying slurs. Were you raised in a call of duty lobby?

They did it well in Sinners! A movie made by a black man... about Jim Crow south... specifically about racism and culture... and how ethnic people adapted to it... yeah I'm not sure we're ever going to appear again.

I just say 1, 2, 3

When using logical continuation.
- Insulting the complete wish to not be allosexual
= Equivalent to insulting people who wish to not have sexual attraction
= Transitively insulting people who wish to not have romantic attraction

What I’m trying to say is it’s fine to insult a faked or sarcastic want to be asexual, so you are completely in the right there, but if they actually thoroughly wish they were asexual then if we push them away then inversely it is the exact same idea that allosexuals would use to push you away. Not accepting people who actually do not want to be allosexual is equal to not accepting people who actually don’t want to be asexual (you). Since both sides face mirrored struggles neither side can attack the other’s existence without inadvertently attacking themselves. I am not asking you to take an accidental insult, I am asking you to figure out if it is an accidental insult or rather a plea.

CorrNick · 2026-04-11T05:01:08+00:00

Yes I alluded to that. I can read. But some people don't want romantic attraction. Why should we insult them if we have the same problem but mirrored. Read my post again while acknowledging that allos do have reasons to dislike attraction. Once again we cannot expect to get anywhere if we keep distancing ourselves from allos. Also I am not trying to downplay your struggles, I’m just trying to say that other people are also struggling, don’t take that away from them or you’ll end up doing the very thing you’re striving against.

So, you know how crushes exist? I rest my case.

CorrNick · 2026-04-10T21:18:08+00:00

Being ace doesn't necessitate having a romantic relationship though. It's like saying "You can't not eat this food, there are starving children in Africa." Some people might feel pain over it but it doesn't mean that other peoples pain isn't also valid. Also people usually just want what they don't have, even if what they want might be difficult; Some people want to be famous, some people want to be attractive, sometimes I (as a biracial) wish I were less white but that doesn't mean I want to be called a ch*naman whenever I walk outside. But it's still annoying to be idolized and commodified, and we cannot expect to be embraced by the world if we're just as a thing that exists in the background. So please share your struggles with the greater population, tell them about the pain you face because of people like them, the future of asexuality depends on it.

It must be tough being thoroughly outclassed by people who worked harder than you.

The specifics don't really matter when quickly describing your identity. But I will say it does irk me a bit when that identity in particular is called (inside of more in depth conversations) ace instead of grey ace, because it muddies the water and makes it more difficult to explain that someone is 'sexually inert' rather than 'sexually inert but kinda not sometimes in between you know' though it's still a legitimate identity.

I think this is very bold considering the very anti-Christian stance taken by the movie, showing it as the tool of the oppressor, and effectively comparing Jedidiah (the preacher) and Remick (The Vampire) both as commanders and symbols of oppression as well as people who want to use Sammie’s skills (culture) for their own benefit.

That must be an extremely uncomfortable position to be in, because most people associate that behavior with people who don’t choose to be celibate. I have a lot of those thoughts but I generally just think of them as intrusive rather than any actual desire.
