The content creator, Yuya, a famous YouTuber in Mexico, has been criticized on social media for the decoration of her Day of the Dead altar. Despite being very beloved by her audience and receiving congratulations for the birth of her nephews, some of her followers expressed their discontent with the altar she presented in her home.
Yuya, known for her makeup tutorials, crafts, and fashion blogs, shared a video on Instagram showing the process of creating her traditional altar. Although many praised her creativity and style, there were those who felt that her altar looked 'sad and empty' due to her choice of a minimalist aesthetic.
The criticisms pointed out that, despite aiming for a minimalist and aesthetic design, Day of the Dead altars are typically maximalist and colorful by nature. Some comments suggested that traditional elements such as tamales, pan de muerto, and tequila were missing from Yuya's altar.
Despite the divided opinions, there were followers who defended Yuya's work, praising her effort and creativity. This controversy shows how, despite her popularity in the field of crafts and decoration, Yuya has not escaped criticism on this occasion.
