The issue sparked anger among southern people when a famous influencer posted a message criticizing "selected mangosteen," a prized southern product. He described it as the only thing he wondered why it even existed, using harsh words to call its taste terrible, which led to a massive backlash and heavy criticism online for being inappropriate.
Recently, Ekkachai Sriwichai, as a southerner, immediately posted a rebuttal. He said being famous on social media doesn't mean one can say whatever they want. Taste preferences are personal and differ, but one should not insult others' delicious food with vulgar language.
Ekkachai also gave a stern, well-intentioned warning, saying today's youth often think that because they are famous on social media, they can post whatever they feel like without caring about society's feelings. He asked sharply what kind of thinking leads to such posts, noting that selected mangosteen has existed long before both he and the influencer were born. If you don't like it, just don't eat it. The matter should end there—there is no need to use harsh words to hurt others' feelings like this.
