First-off, for the guy who posted this dumb question in Yahoo! Answers, why the hell should you think that Filipinos are copycats? I hate the title because it’s so demeaning, I have to post it here.

It’s not us being copycats or us being original thinkers that determines the “rightness” of being us as a race, but depriving the simple gesture of thanking your country for giving you freedom to see / experience things outside the Philippines is the most wrong thing you could do as a citizen. You are supposed to be smart because of your country. You’re using the internet and post bulls**t comments because your country allows you to be free. What f****ing more can you ask for?

To put things in perspective, if I tell you you are being a moronic copycat of a US citizen for thinking we don’t do good movies, would you be elated and be more moronic along the way, will you be busy being defensive, or will you improve things in you, starting from preventing your stupid Yahoo! questions from having “copycats” and “Filipino” in them?

Honestly, in this global world, original is outdated. Execution always matters, and being patriotic is the least thing you could do to your country that’s better than paying fastfood value added taxes. If being patriotic seems to also be a copycat’s way because the Japanese already have that, would you not need them? If we have superheroes to copy just to jade the masses’ thoughts from being negative about us being Filipinos, do you think it’s a good thing? If you think putting Filipino identification to every thing we do is stereotypical and unoriginal, then you should be living in your own pot-enhanced dimension or some fast-paced planet that takes only two days to get obsolete.
