ORIGINAL STORY 19/3/19: A Devil May Cry 5 voice actor has pulled multiple videos from his own YouTube channel after fans found racist and transphobic content. I was wearing a multicolored ski mask and doing a music review of an artist's new album as a character." "BTW, please note that I never posted a video with myself in blackface.
I removed the videos because I thought it was the right thing to do. I do not come from a place of hate in any of my work. "Some of my comedy is edgy, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion as to what they think is funny, but please do not refer to me being racist or otherwise. The videos I did were comedy parodies with characters speaking in their vernacular. The voices and characters I do reflect my life experiences and admiration for the people I grew up with. I am also Jewish and I grew up in Detroit in primarily black neighborhoods. I do voices and impressions for a living. "Look, I have been a professional standup comedian, actor and voice actor my entire adult life. "I'm sorry and I truly apologise to anyone who was offended," Camen told Eurogamer. In a statement to Eurogamer, Camen explained his "edgy" comedy - labelled as racist and transphobic - was "parody", but still pulled the videos as it "was the right thing to do". UPDATE 20/3/19: Devil May Cry 5 voice actor Joey Camen has apologised for the offensive videos he recently removed from his YouTube channel.
