... that a scene of a man eating a crab (example pictured) in the music video for SB19's song, "Dungka!", was used as a symbol for crab mentality among people?
Source: "He plays the MV's antagonist as the representation of crab mentality (hence his meals of crabs at the start of the video)." ([1]); "He is first seen feasting on crabs, representing the crab mentality present among Filipinos. ([2]); "There was also a particular scene wherein he was eating crabs that can be a symbolism of Filipinos having crab mentality wherein they pull others down." ([3])

^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
^This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.

^The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
@Royiswariii: Hi, Roy! Your comment has been actioned. While adding it, I also came across a feature for Fatal Fury. However, having a separate "In other media" is not feasible at the moment, since it would be too short. I think the added info could fall under "Music video and promotion" for now. Let me know if you have anything else. Relayed(talk • contribs)18:23, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Writers highlighted a scene from the video where the antagonist was eating a crab, which they interpreted as a symbol for crab mentality among Filipinos.
I encountered this among some of my fellow Filipino colleagues, but I always dismissed it as a form of bias on my part. Is there any good evidence that the crab mentality is more predominant in this community as opposed to others? Having seen it up close and personal, I honestly don't know. Is there something about the culture of the Philippines that would make the crab mentality more noticeable, or is this just something that every human culture has to some extent or another?

Addendum: I just remembered reading a book about ten years ago that argued that marginalized communities do have a history of crab mentality, although even that could be a generalization. The book talked about how some Black Americans struggled to get out of the ghetto and in some cases their efforts were discouraged and looked down upon, possibly because it was seen as becoming "whiter", I don't know. I believe there are similar stories for other communities as well. Viriditas (talk) 00:18, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
