Vulgarities may be common and you probably hear it on a daily basis, depending on your social circle. A group of local YouTubers, Dissy have recently released a series of merchandise, consisting of T-shirts, stickers, and mugs but the receptions have been mixed.
If you’re a keen follower of their content, you might be aware that they’re no strangers to speaking vulgarities in every video, and they’re always uncensored. This time, Dissy is taking things to another level – releasing their merchandise with the vulgarities imprinted on the items. This may not be a surprise, especially to those who are familiar with how Dissy rolls.
Hong Kong filmmaker Stephen Chow even suggested they make content without any vulgarity not too long ago.
Let’s just say, their merchandise is definitely not the best choice for kids. The image below shows the word “Penis minus one cm” being put together with a sunflower on top. A way to “sugarcoat” the explicit language, perhaps?
The designs feature different vulgarities that will be familiar to many Malaysians, especially if you hear them (or say) a lot on a daily basis. If you’re offended, Dissy has a shirt that may just be for you – a quote made famous by Joker in The Dark Knight movie, which is also the ideal choice for those who are looking for minimal to zero vulgarities on their outfit.
Other designs also include wordplay on different vulgarities that are usually spoken by Malaysians.
Here’s what Malaysians had to say about the designs.
“The trendy stuff in Malaysia.”
“Ridiculous. Don’t you know anything about copyright?”
“So is vulgarity a trend now?”
“Dissy is going lower and lower with their style. It’s bad for the social environment.”
“This is so funny and creative.”
You can check out the full images of their merchandise below.
Based on their post, the merchandise has been available for sale since yesterday (May 29) on their official website, and the prices range from RM39 to RM159. What do you think of the designs? Do you find this trend common and acceptable?
