An upcoming original series from Darryl Yap was put under hot waters.
DARRYL YAP – “The Cousins” or “Minsan Sa Insan” upcoming original series from Darryl Yap gets criticized online due to sensitive theme.
Previously, the “Sakristan” series from Director Darryl Yap got criticized online for bravely tackling relationship of two men to which one of them is a “Sakristan“. This kind of story is truly sensitive, especially to the conservative sector of the society.
And now, the young director is once again facing a new controversy and the backlash is surely not a new thing to him. In his upcoming series hinting about a story about doing it with a first cousin, netizens couldn’t help it but call him out on social media for making a series out of a society’s taboo.
They tagged it as “insensitive” and “problematic”. In the description posted by Vincentiments, “The Cousins” series hinted about featuring intimate relationship between first cousins which is unacceptable to some but tolerated to some.
Clarifying that they are not condoning such taboo, it has been written in the post the reality that these kind of things happen in real life. With this, they have found this as an “interesting theme” to tackle through a series.
It furthered, “Is it insanity to do it with your insan?” to which lots of netizens have lambasted the thought.
Here are some of the reactions from Twitter:
