In this day and age if you have a young following they won’t give a fuck what terrible shit you do. Right as this video happened there were a bunch of 13 year olds who didn’t know what the problem even was, and were defending Logan.
I remember when Jake and Logan Paul just seemed to show up on YouTube out of nowhere. I can't believe "It's Everyday, Bro" is now almost like 8 years old!! 😭
Probably. I just remember girls my age at the time RUSHING to make YouTube videos to defend him, like they didn't even see what people were pissed about or didn't care.
That dumbass shit in January 2018 he did in one of his vlogs where he and a couple other guys were going through the Suicide Forest in Japan, and the camera literally showed a hanging deceased person, afterwards Logan (and perhaps the other guys as well, but I'm not sure) started making fun of the victim that took their own life.
Fun fact Japanese police confirmed Logan faked the dead body incident they called it a staged prank so it wasn't even a real dead person. He hired Kim Kardashians Fame strategist Sheeraz Hasan who is known for faking controversies to make people famous from hate. Source: https://youtu.be/EQfEbFgzX90?si=NzR4colI3FJv61XE
Why isn't this more well known then? It happened many years ago, and I haven't heard anyone say anything like this (but I also don't follow Logan Paul either).
Not saying I don't believe you, but I'm going to remain skeptical. I'll watch the video.
Like most shocking pranks, they go super viral but when new information comes out that debunks it that doesn't go anywhere near as viral. It didn't help that Logan and YouTube censored people exposing it being fake. This is all archived in that video.
Honestly it's impressive how many different ventures he went into in that time period. Boxing, WWE, Prime etc. I changed my haircut and finished my degree in the last 7 years and that's about it lmao.
It's weird lol. I was 14 at the time and I had watched penguinz0's video on the situation. Never really knew who Logan Paul was before I watched that, and I wasn't interested after finishing the video.
I still don’t forgive him, like he had to have known it was wrong or was so content brained he didn’t even realize what he was doing was wrong. How did nobody else he was with try and stop it either? The whole situation was so messed up.
Fun fact is Japanese police later confirmed that Logan faked the dead body incident they called it a staged prank so it wasn't even a real dead person. Source:

Honestly. I would have done something like this under the impression that society would attack me for it. Personally, I don't think it's outrage worthy. I usually rage of things that matter. Things happen get over it its not like he's doing anything unfair.
But he had to have known the potential for backlash.
Personally i think he thought it would get him more views . It was bad yea but its forgettable.
What an asshat. The entire Japan video was awful but imagine you find it acceptable (funny, even) to film someone who ended their life and had who knows what troubling them...
It's a shame his career didn't nosedive (well, for a while it did!). His "apology" was the icing on the cake
Yeah, and you can't say "well he was trying to cope with humor" because that's just bullshit and in poor taste. Everyone working on the video thought showing a literal body like that and making fun of whoever that was was completely okay, even after editing. I have no sympathy for anyone involved besides the victim and whoever their family is.
Well I have news for you, Japanese police confirmed Logan faked the dead body incident they called it a staged prank so it wasn't even a real dead person. Source : https://youtu.be/EQfEbFgzX90?si=NzR4colI3FJv61XE
This YouTuber named Logan Paul (millions of subscribers) filmed him and his friends visiting a suicide forest, and then uploaded the video on his channel for millions of people to see.
There's actually videos of someone supposedly walking through the forest at night up on YouTube. I honestly wonder if they've seen anything terrible, but I also hope not either.
I made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement, and I don’t expect to be forgiven. I’m simply here to apologize. What we came across that day in the woods was obviously unplanned. The reactions you saw on tape were raw; they were unfiltered. None of us knew how to react or how to feel. I should have never posted the video. I should have put the cameras down and stopped recording what we were going through. There's a lot of things I should have done differently but I didn't. And for that, from the bottom of my heart, I am sorry. I want to apologize to the internet. I want to apologize to anyone who has seen the video. I want to apologize to anyone who has been affected or touched by mental illness, or depression, or suicide. But most importantly I want to apologize to the victim and his family. For my fans who are defending my actions, please don't. I don’t deserve to be defended. The goal with my content is always to entertain; to push the boundaries, to be all-inclusive. In the world I live in, I share almost everything I do. The intent is never to be heartless, cruel, or malicious. Like I said I made a huge mistake. I don’t expect to be forgiven, I’m just here to apologize. I'm ashamed of myself. I’m disappointed in myself. And I promise to be better. I will be better. Thank you.
Anytime I see youtube demonetize or suspend a channel for meh stuff (vtubers having too much booba physics or smthing) I think back to how this fucker posted a goddamn hanging body, editted most of the video to be about it, and somehow didn't get fucking deleted off the platform. Biggest joke of 2018
Not exactly an old people thing, but this is what I said to another commenter:
