Emma Langevin responds to being canceled by the internet

Emma Langevin took to her main YouTube channel a few days later and uploaded a video titled I went viral & got canceled in 24 hours | Emma Langevin.

In the three-minute-long video, the YouTuber provided her side of the story and claimed that her satirical content was misrepresented and used against her. One of the things that she mentioned in her address was:

"I got canceled within 24 hours. I went from having 2,000 followers on a Twitter account that I had had for two weeks to gaining 112,000 in four days. And don't get me wrong, I did have a decent-sized following on TikTok before any of this happened, but it grew very gradually and mostly stayed within the app."

She pointed out that she was a comedian and that the videos she posts on her social media handles are made in jest. She expressed her regret by stating:

"I just wanted to tell d*ck jokes on the internet. But as I've said, you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. You know?"

After highlighting some of the tweets she made responding to people who were trying to cancel her, Emma Langevin concluded the video on a serious note:

"I would never condone, endorse, or support any type of discrimination. We have all said or done stupid s**t at one point or another, and that is why we need to be able to have these civilized discussions so we can promote growth and change."

Following the video, Emma uploaded five more videos to her YouTube channel, but she hasn't uploaded any video content since. However, she continues to stream on Twitch and regularly posts content on her TikTok account.
