The series "Esas Oğlan," which has been in the spotlight for its bold scenes, has been banned on TikTok.

The trailer for the series "Esas Oğlan," which will be released on a digital platform on November 22, was recently published. TikTok claimed that the trailer violated community guidelines due to alleged sexual content, and the trailer was removed from the platform.

REACTIONS FROM HADISE AND SEDA BAKAN

Hadise and Seda Bakan, the lead actors of the series, reacted to TikTok's ban with a post on Instagram.

"I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING SINCE I STARTED MY CAREER"

Hadise stated, "Since I started my career, I have been fighting for the freedom to perform on stage and shoot music videos as a woman. I have faced many obstacles, from my music video being banned as 'erotic' during the Eurovision period to my 'Zero Tolerance' video. While male artists kiss and have intimate scenes in their videos without any restrictions, when women go beyond hugging, it is deemed 'immoral'! Now, the trailer for our new series 'Esas Oğlan' has been banned on TikTok. I laugh because isn't this very funny? Don't these platforms claim to advocate for freedom? Content that involves all kinds of videos, where children are misused, and bodies are exploited for profit is allowed, but love scenes are declared 'immoral.' Why are love scenes banned while scenes of rape, weapons, and illegal substances are accepted?"

"WE ARE ALL PRODUCTS OF LOVE SCENES"

Seda Bakan also expressed her reaction by saying, "The trailer for our series 'Esas Oğlan' was banned on TikTok due to love scenes. It is very sad to even make this statement. We shot a romantic comedy that is very entertaining, sincere, and realistically portrays the experiences of women. I hope that one day female actors can continue their lives without being subjected to moral policing and neighborhood pressure like male actors. In this world, we are all products of love scenes."
