Charli D\u2019Amelio responds to outrage from cosplayers over viral TikTok Charli D’Amelio, YouTubeCharli D\u2019Amelio is one of the internet\u2019s fastest-rising stars, boasting over 38 million followers on TikTok \u2014 but fame isn\u2019t all sunshine and roses, as she found out after facing mass backlash from cosplayers over a viral dance challenge. Internet regulars have likely seen a viral video of a pink-haired anime character performing a rotoscoped dance online, which has since taken the net by storm, prompting similar animations of other characters and even cosplay renditions of the choreography. The clip originates from popular anime \u2018Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai,\u2019 and stars main character Chika busting a move during the show\u2019s ending credits, one video of which has garnered over three million views on YouTube. Considering the viral nature of the dance, it comes as little surprise that dancer and content creator Charli D\u2019Amelio hopped on the Chika train \u2014 but some members of the cosplay community aren\u2019t happy with her take on the moves. After uploading her own version of the dance to TikTok, purportedly titled with the caption, \u201cPOV we\u2019re cosplayers,\u201d the star was met with serious backlash from anime fans who felt offended and bullied by her video. \u201cThis is a form of bullying,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cIf a cosplayer made a video making fun of these girls, they would get so much hate. It\u2019s not even a joke at this point. \u2026I don\u2019t care if they are upset, they just bullied people because they thought it would be funny.\u201d The outrage prompted D\u2019Amelio to upload another TikTok apologizing to the cosplay community, claiming that her video was taken \u201cthe wrong way\u201d and that she appreciates creators from all walks of life. \u201cMy friend and I made a video where we were doing it [the dance], and it was completely taken the wrong way,\u201d she explained. \u201cI did not mean for it to happen that way, at all. I was not trying to bring down anyone.\u201d Since uploading her apology, cosplayers across the net are scratching their heads in confusion over the outrage, with many not understanding why the TikToker is facing backlash over a seemingly innocent and unintentional blunder. https:\/\/twitter.com\/mcnItys\/status\/1240643848872833024?s=20 At 15 years old, Charli is one of the net\u2019s youngest celebrities who has already teased a potential live tour \u2014 but living in the internet spotlight also means being subjected to a giant microscope from critics, which has already resulted in some unintentional drama for the star.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
