Enna Alouette\u2019s \u201cracism\u201d controversy was a \u201cwake up call\u201d for NIJISANJI VTuber YouTube: Enna AlouetteNIJISANJI star Enna Alouette has spoken out further about \u201cracist\u201d comments she made on stream, stating it was a \u201cwake up call\u201d for the VTuber about her platform. She also asked fans to stop making excuses for her, adding she takes full responsibility. Enna Alouette found herself embroiled in controversy after she made an \u201cinsensitive and ignorant\u201d remark on stream, perpetuating a negative cultural stereotype about African Americans. On a collaboration with Kyo Kaneko, Enna stated it was difficult to impersonate the star\u2019s accent because it \u201ckinda tells me you maybe listen to too much Snoop Dogg,\u201d also quipping about eating chicken. Kyo told Enna in the moment she perpetuated the negative racial stereotype, and she eventually was educated on it and apologized for her actions. However, she went even further on her following stream about her ignorance, taking full responsibility for her actions. \u201cI messed up really bad,\u201d she said on October 28. \u201cFor the majority of the collab, it was fine. Towards the end, I got, not even a little, I basically hurt a lot of people. I was super insensitive and ignorant on a cultural stereotype, and I also put my friend in an uncomfortable situation. \u201cThat\u2019s very embarrassing and I\u2019m ashamed of it. Thankfully Kyo was the one to bring awareness to what I did wrong, more so after the stream we had a call about it, so I appreciate him for doing that.\u201d While Enna received an outpouring of support on social media from her Aloupeeps, she tried to quell the chorus of hearts and messages from those not affected. She stated, \u201ceven though I had no malicious intent or anything, it was very wrong and 100% racist.\u201d She also asked for no one to try to justify her comments, and called it a \u201cwake up call\u201d for her behavior on stream. \u201cI\u2019m on a public platform with a very large reach. I\u2019m very aware, when I make apologies or when any influencer makes an apology, it sounds like it\u2019s for everyone but it\u2019s not. Which is why I\u2019m telling you guys to hold back on your hearts and saying supportive things to me right now,\u201d she continued. \u201cI\u2019m talking to the people who I affected and hurt. If you\u2019re not a person who isn\u2019t directly affected by it, please don\u2019t go around saying \u2018we forgive you, people make mistakes.\u2019 This is not the time, and this is not a situation where anyone gives any justification to me. Please stop. \u201cI\u2019m going to make sure I\u2019m very mindful from now on [about] how I think, how I act, and what I say. Honestly, I\u2019ve been treading on the bounds a lot throughout my career in NIJISANJI. This honestly was a wake up call, seriously.\u201d Enna ended up canceling her streams for the rest of the week, returning at the start of November. She fully expects for some things to be different though, and she\u2019s not going to try and brush it off. She\u2019s facing her consequences head-on and hopes to grow from it. \u201cIf you feel uncomfortable, upset, or angry, these are very valid feelings. I totally understand if you need to step away from me or my content. You don\u2019t have to hear my apology and I don\u2019t have any expectation of getting any forgiveness from literally anyone. \u201cThere isn\u2019t much I can do or say, but I promise I will be better, and only time can really show that. Right now I\u2019m just saying pretty words, but I need to work on myself every day. \u201cI hope the silver lining to all of this is to bring awareness to situations like this; for me, and hopefully a lot of other people, to be mindful. And for those who are in the same boat of being ignorant or insensitive towards a cultural stereotype, I hope you guys can learn from my mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
