LOGANG is becoming NOMOREGANG?!

Recently, Youtubers and fans of Logan Paul have all been shaken up by the upload of his disturbing video. Multi millionaire, kid-friendly Youtube star Logan Paul uploaded a video of him and his crew traveling to Aokigahara, a sacred area in Japan that is known for being an infamous suicide area, commonly referred to as a “sea of trees” or “suicide forest”  as the area is yards and yards of untrailed trees. Aokigahara is widely known as an excluded area one cannot enter in unless one is contemplating suicide or in hopes of saving victims lives.  Yet, Logan Paul thoughtlessly entered this scared area in hopes of increasing his viewer count, selfishlessly breaking all traditional values that he should have upheld in Japan’s respected area.

Now, entering Aokigahara was not the first mistake that Youtubers found disturbing. When Logan Paul entered the forest, he was being recorded and apparently stumbled upon a hanging corpse of a victim of depression inside the deep forest. He recorded the corpse and did not have the thought of decency to end the video out of respect for the victim, his family, his friends, and other victims as well. The fact of the matter is that Youtube has awaken and is extremely irritated and disappointed in Logan Paul.

Here at Pitman High, senior Amrit Hayer stated that “Logan Paul had exceeded the boundary of privacy and he has gone way too far with this new video of his.”

Logan has done something that no other Youtube star has done; he exposed a raw, dead body for everyone on the internet to see. Children, teenagers, adults, friends, and countless others had the accessibility to this video and its disturbing content. Youtube decided to block the video and forced him to take it down.

Another student on campus Cynella Aghasi (12th) stated,“Youtube did take the correct action because that victims privacy was disrespected.”  

Logan Paul also decided to film an apology video stating the remorse and guilt he felt for exposing the corpse of the victim and how he regretted his actions greatly. This action was very noble and kind of Paul however many Youtubers argued the video was very insincere and short. The length was about 2 minutes at most and did not satisfy others. Countless other Youtube stars uploaded 30 minute long response videos towards Logan Paul’s actions whether they were against or for him.

In the end, Logan Paul received a lot of hate towards this action of his and therefore has led him to decide to take a break from his Youtube career. This action will have a great impact on his career and will never be forgotten. He will be eternally known as the Youtube star who decided to expose a corpse on their channel, be it a good or bad thing in anyone’s’ eyes.
