Logan Paul Tries To Apologize Following Tasteless Video On Youtube Channel
It seems like every other week a super popular Youtuber is getting backlash for publicly doing something very obviously wrong and/or tasteless. Today, the entire attention of the internet is aimed at a young kid named Logan Paul, a vlogger who documents his life every single day to 15 million subscribers. Him and his brother have both garnered huge followings on Youtube, mostly consisting of younger, pre-teen children who watch his videos consisting of harmless pranks, terrible music videos, and different viral challenges.
The median age of his audience is extremely alarming today following his decision to post a completely disgusting video on a visit overseas. The Youtuber visited Japan’s ‘suicide forest’ and actually posted footage of a dead body, with him and his friends laughing at the lifeless body hanging from a tree. Though the head/face of the body was blurred out, the rest of the person was shown in full focus as Paul and his friend’s chuckled over the fact that they discovered someone who committed suicide in ‘suicide forest.’ He’s since deleted the video, but not before it got over a million views.
that logan paul video where he films the body of a person who committed suicide that same day is deadass the worst most un-self aware shit i ever seen in my life

Dear @LoganPaul,
How dare you! You disgust me. I can't believe that so many young people look up to you. So sad. Hopefully this latest video woke them up. You are pure trash. Plain and simple. Suicide is not a joke. Go rot in hell.

Logan is receiving endless backlash for the video and swears that the nature of the vlog had good intentions…even though him and his friends literally laughed at a dead body, filmed it, edited it, and uploaded it to Youtube. In the apology, he claims that he didn’t do the stunt for views, but instead somehow thought the video could “make a positive ripple on the internet” and “intended to raise awareness for suicide and suicide prevention.”

People were already outraged by Paul’s decision to upload the video, and now his apology is making everyone even more angry regarding his inability to grasp just how wrong what he did was. It’s scary to see that someone with such a huge, young following would upload a video like this for all of the kids that look up to him to see. Check out some of the reactions below–do you think this will be the end for Logan Paul? Or will this get swept under the rug after a few days like the other wrong-doings of super popular Youtubers?

Logan Paul actually recorded a person who committed suicide in his vlog. What kind of fucked up mentality do you need to have to do something like that?! There is absolutely no defending it

As somebody who lives in Japan, has Japanese family and has filmed a video in the suicide forest, the amount of disrespect Logan Paul showed in his video is honestly sickening.
No amount of demonetizing or "like if you feel sad" can excuse what he did.
Really disappointing 🙁— Joey (@TheAn1meMan) January 2, 2018
I cannot believe logan Paul posted that video and filmed someone who committed suicide up close for his audience of children to watch. Fucking disgusting and completely in human 😠 zero respect shown in that video. I literally am so angry
— Daz Black (@daz_black) January 2, 2018
i’m truly sickened by this logan paul situation. i lost my brother to suicide… my brother took his own life by hanging himself… how insensitive and sick can you be to film someone in that state 😔

All eyes on you, @YouTube. What Logan Paul did was unacceptable and deserves decisive action. There is no place on YouTube for that kind of content.
— Meg Turney (@megturney) January 2, 2018
Just remember this. Before all the extended community outrage against Logan Paul’s “we found a dead body” video, there was a seemingly uncontested 550-600,000 likes on it.
His core audience doesn’t give a fuuuuuuck. Unless youtube does something, this doesn’t hurt him.

Continue Slideshow
I almost forgot, those people that were with @LoganPaul during his disgusting video, you’re all pieces of shit too because you should have been big enough to say something, stop him or walk away. Instead you were just a bunch of yes people licking his arse

Logan Paul isn't sorry. He's on the front page of every news site in the world. His brand, like so many other contemptible youtubers, is built on controversy. This will attract people to that brand and his apology will sedate his fans. He'll benefit.

Logan Paul attempts to write sincere and heartfelt apology to the internet after promoting suicide to a young impressionable audience.
Ends it with ‘hashtag LoGang4Life’
🤦🏼♂️🚀🌞— Bry (@BryOnTour) January 2, 2018
14% of Logan Paul's audience will consider suicide before they're 20. 7% will attempt it. Trivialising suicide will only make it harder for them to bring it up when they need that support. Who wants to be laughed at?
— Daniel Hardcastle (@DanNerdCubed) January 2, 2018
I’ve only just come on twitter properly and what Logan Paul done is an absolute disgrace, why would you vlog a lifeless body and laugh/joke about it?
What a sick, disgusting person and if anyone follows me and likes the Paul brothers, unfollow me now, idec!
Absolutely vile

Logan Paul. You are a fuck boy of the highest degree. Thank your for taking my place as the most hated social media star of all time, here in the UK we work hard on raising awareness for mental health & suicide in young men so you & your V-Log ain’t welcome here,ever. Twat.
— Daniel O'Reilly (@dapperlaughs) January 2, 2018
thread of suicide hotlines because if Logan Paul isn’t going to show them in a video of a dead body then i’ll share them on twitter ~
— e̶l̶l̶a̶ (@twentyonegrxnde) January 2, 2018
Logan Paul – YOU had a choice to post that video, YOU edited that video, YOU chose to use that photo as your attention grabber, YOU put that video on YouTube, YOU didn’t think of how other people feel, lastly YOU know your target audience is young children! YOU are in the wrong!
— Charlotte ♡ (@ShelleyhugsUJ) January 2, 2018
Another pretty, young white boy does something stupid and offensive on YouTube and his fans defend him and accept his bullshit of an apology. What else is new? L @LoganPaul
— Tom & Lorenzo (@tomandlorenzo) January 2, 2018
Logan Paul is everywhere rn and not in a good way, his reputation has gone so low now that no one is going to want to work with him
