There are LEGIT people on the internet going "if you haven't been able to have babies and there's nothing medically wrong with you, it's possible that one of your tiger friends poked their heads into your bedroom and CAUSED THE WHITE TIGER GOD TO EAT ALL YOUR BABIES".

There's also noise about how tigers jinx their parents, their in-laws, and might lead to their husbands dying before their time... And all I have to say, is that this really sounds like the patriarchy hating on outspoken women.

虎姑婆 is a Thing! Almost all kids in Taiwan of my generation grew up knowing that if you were bad, Great Auntie Tiger would EAT YOU UP and CRUNCH YOUR BONES. https://www.taiwandc.org/folk-tig.htm

Consider tigers are held to be stubborn, authoritative, bossy, and self-confident and independent - well hell, that's a quintuple threat for the patriarchy, isn't it? And I dunno about the rest of you tigresses, but if my husband tried to be mean back in the day, I'd jinx that.

I'm a fire tiger with A LOT of metal in my chart - pretty much the equivalent of being a little walking armory, and dude was like - maybe we should add a LOTTA water to your name?

Replying to @KatjeXia
This is amazing; I am also a fire tiger, and I think I was born around midnight! Which is hilarious in contrast to my Western zodiac sign, where I’m a Pisces and therefore meant to be dreamy, passive and empathetic
