The desperate and wildly thirsty YouTube star Logan Paul has been blasted after he filmed the body of a dead man and put it online.
That Logan Paul video was not live. It was edited and put on Youtube and monetized. He quite literally made money off of a suicide victim.

Details on his horrific act below…
@YouTube WE NEED ROLE MODELS IN THE YOUTUBE COMMUNITY. STOP GIVING THESE BORING WHITE MEN PLATFORMS. STOP. @LoganPaul WENT BEYOND MAKING A SMALL MISTAKE OR A SMALL JOKE, THIS WAS TRULY FUCKED UP. SUICIDE IS NOT A JOKE. BUT FILMING AND UPLOADING A VIDEO OF IT? TRULY DISTURBING.

The YouTube star has 15 million subscribers and, eager to see that number swell, filmed himself exploring a notorious forest where people venture into to commit suicide.
Its name? Aokigahara.
While there, he and his friends came across the decaying body of a dead man.
How they responded?
I think you need to see this thumnbail to grasp how bad the Logan Paul video is. pic.twitter.com/PrUeknANCb

By capturing the moment and making the image of the dead body the thumbnail for a video he has now been forced to pull down.
He had this to say for himself in response to the backlash it received.

Unfortunately for him, this did little to quell the criticism he faced.
Dear @LoganPaul,
When my brother found my sister’s body, he screamed with horror & confusion & grief & tried to save her. That body was a person someone loved.
You do not walk into a suicide forest with a camera and claim mental health awareness.

Hey world. If you didn’t know, @LoganPaul has always been disrespectful and racist towards Asians.
This is nothing new. Sadly. pic.twitter.com/Gq1OIbUuoX

logan paul is a perfect example of reactionary morality
“i didn’t know then that filming a dead body and using it for clicks was bad, but NOW i do.”that…..shouldn’t have to be taught. there’s something wrong there.

“What Logan Paul did was just a mistake!” “He didn’t mean it.” He didn’t mean to:
-Go to Suicide Forrest
-Film a hanging corpse
-Keep filming it
-Laugh about it
-Upload the files to his computer.
-Edit the video
-Upload to YouTube for kids
-Title w clickbait
-Make a Thumbnail— cady (@CadyMerow) January 2, 2018
He did WHAT? Fix it Jesus!
Sick, twisted f*ck
Trash!!! People will do anything for followers!
Youtube click-baitery gone to new levels. But also expected.
In the initial years of youtube, channels like “Nigahiga” and “smosh” were the top for their original content/sketches – stuff that actually took time.
Now, the most popular channels are those fighting to get the most click-bait kind titles.
WHITE PRIVILEGE at its finest!!!! SMH!!! Thank goodness we are slowly but surely putting an end to the privilege they are so used to falling back on and getting away with their “harmless mistakes”
I expect S****** Blonde to speak in this idiots defense…
He’ll start making excuses for this f*** boy in 5,4,3,2…
Why should I do that?
It’s hard to imagine how he could think, that making a video about someone who’ve committed s******, and laughing about it a good idea for a video. His followers are mostly teens and kids. There’s no excuses for this, and I can’t see his career being the same again.
#prayfortheUSA ?
This is a million times worse than that piece of turd who threw that cat high into the air so it landed in the streets. the cat was crying in pain it almost died. the sh!t this people do for publicity so sickening.
Curious George I am.. I say. Now am about to watch the video. So making his ignorant intention news will have Somone like want to watch. So will he still get his viewers he wants?
Who is Logan Paul?
I mean.. no one was n*** or underage. I don’t see the big problem.
Anyway! Taylor Swift is coming for Madinosaurs wig! Republican… I mean Reputation Tour is expected to make $450m or more. ?
Beyoncé about to snatch Taylor during her next tour tho. She was being smart doing these features. Especially that Mi Gente feature. Her discography is still seeing a spike in South and Central America. Hopefully she capitalizes off that and actually does a world tour.
Mi Gente is a hot song. Latinos luv them some Bey.
