As you might have heard by now, this happened on the very last day of 2017. Logan went to the suicide forest in Japan and was v-logging his trip there. He was walking through the jungle with his friends and they came across a person who hung himself on a tree.
Now here is the thing, the reaction he has looks very staged. In the video, the cameraman and his friends are walking in front of him, how does he see the dead body before the others do. When he asks his friends "do you guys see it", their friends clearly act like they have not seen it yet. The purpose of the trip and this staged acting is clear, views.
Take a look at their reaction, they have no shame as they are smiling and making jokes in front of the dead body.
Now here is the part where most people are angry about. He actually films the dead body and zooms into it. He only blurs the face and shows everything else. That is just disgusting behavior and disrespectful. You can not do that to someone who had thought there was no point for them to live anymore.
The very worst part of it is he was laughing. Many people are saying that it was a nervous laugh. But think about it, even if he laughed and filmed the whole scenario, he could have edited that part out of the video. But he thought it was a good idea to leave everything in, everything he said and did. That just shows how disrespectful he really is. He has a tremendous outreach to millions of teens and children. Showing this to all the young people out there was very wrong because think about the negative impact it is going to have on them.
Just take a look at how disrespectful him and his friends were in this video.
He did apologize on twitter saying he was sorry and he doesn't expect to be forgiven. Here is what he said.
I was a Logan Paul fan myself but he has lost my respect after this incident. And i'm sure a lot of others feel the same way. I am sorry but i don't think he can forgiven after what he did. I also think YouTube should be taking action about this because this is not acceptable.
