So for anyone who hasn’t heard about Logan Paul’s literally disgusting vlog, let me fill you in. On New Year’s Eve Logan uploaded a vlog of him and his friends going into Aokigahara, or most famously known as the “Suicide Forest”- where a lot of people go to die in peace, to camp out. The video starts with this dramatic intro and he says that it is not clickbait but he uses the dead man’s body as the thumbnail? He and his friends are walking through the forest and they find a person who has clearly just hung himself, and a normal reaction to seeing a dead body should be to call the authorities, right? No, Logan’s first reaction was to tell his friends to grab his camera. He and his friends acted surprised that they found the man, although they are in a place notoriously known for people going to die in peace. He starts filming the guy and yells “Hey, are you messing with us?!” Logan could easily have run back to the parking lot, which was only 100 yards away, to get help. Instead he moves closer to get a good view of the body for the camera. And he thinks it’s okay because they blurred out the person’s face. It’s clear that Logan is filming this man for views, he had no respect for the man nor any desire to get him help until after he got his content, then and only then did he decided that maybe it would be a good idea to call the authorities. The worst part is he’s making jokes about it. His friend says that he doesn’t feel good about the situation. Logan says “What, you never stand next to a dead guy before?” and just laughs. A person takes their own life and this boy makes it into a joke. This is one of the most disrespectful things he could have done, but he’s too immature and immoral to understand that. The responsible thing to do would have been to turn away the camera and call the police. Logan is 22 years old, he can’t say that he didn’t realize his video was inappropriate. And of his viewers are literally children who aren’t any older than 13. Impressionable children who are going to think insensitive and disrespectful stuff like this is okay because a YouTuber did it. Overall, Logan Paul is literal trash.
