The post below maybe offensive to some people,
The famous American youtuber Logan Paul who recently posted a video on the New Year's eve.The video was a Vlog of his trip to Tokyo ,Japan.
The video shows Paul and his friends visiting Japan’s Aokigahara forest , also known as the Japanese suicide forest. Logan and his friends accompanied by a local security/translator planned a sleepover in the forest on the new year's eve. But the trip didnt go as planned .
As they entered the forest....they decided to go off trail...deep into the forest . However ....just a few yards off the trail....they spotted a dead body. A local person had commited suicide by hanging himself off a tree....Even though they had spotted it from a far distance ....they decided to go close to the body and film it ...instead of moving away. They did actually contact the police about the incident . But Logan filmed the dead body upclose and included it in his video which he uploaded to Youtube. The video depicted Logan and his friends shocked and later even laughing . Eventually they left the place and gathered in the parking where he(Logan) did apologise and adviced his viewers .
This video upsetted a lot of viewers as the video got trending on Youtube and this resulted getting a lot of attention. Many people tweeted about it and this drove the attention of Youtube . Finally Youtube took down the video from his channel. Logan faced a lot of criticism and anger from his viewers .....and he released an apology video adressing to all the people who got offended or hurt .
MY VERDICT
Logan is a famous Youtuber with a huge fan following , 15 million subscribers . He has a lot of people who watch his Vlogs daily ....including me . He is known for his cool attitude towards life and standing out of the crowd attitude.I feel after encountering such an event he should have stopped filming immediately . He could have talked about it if he wanted to ....instead of showing it to the viewers . We know that he didnt mean to offend or hurt people on purpose ...He also apologised to people on Youtube.
This is just my view and people do have different views.....so maybe the people reading this have different views and thats completely acceptable.I would love to know your view on this incident in the comments .
