And you start getting people talking about being sexually harassed because of a hug. "But what happens with Black Lives Matter and the Me Too movement, these movements get hijacked when the motives start going a little too far, and then logic goes out the window. "This Me Too movement started off as this amazing movement and I'm all for uplifting women and I do believe women have gone through centuries of being thrown under the bus and just not being acknowledged and being respected, and I'm all about the divine feminine and really uplifting women in our society.

Meanwhile, the actor behind Devil May Cry protagonist Dante was heavily criticised for comments made in a recent interview with YouTube channel Toy Bounty Hunters. Camen has pulled the videos criticised by DMC5 fans, but of course the internet never forgets.

"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.
