New video 'Put this lunacy in check' Trump's fiery tweet sparks swift backlash
A POPULAR YOUTUBER IS APOLOGIZING TODAY AFTER HIS
DECISION TO PUBLISH A VIDEO SHOWING THE HANGING BODY OF AN
INDIVIDUAL WHO COMMITTED SUICIDE.
LOGAN PAUL IS THAT YOUTUBER.
DURING A RECENT TRIP TO JAPAN HE WENT TO A FOREST THAT IS KNOWN
FOR SUICIDES AND HANGINGS AND ENDED UP FILMING A MAN'S BODY
AS IT WAS HANGING FROM A TREE.
THROUGHOUT THE VIDEO HE IS LAUGHING, MAKING JOKES.
DURING THE MOMENT HE SAW THAT BODY HE BECAME MORE SERIOUS
BUT THEN LATER ON CONTINUED JOKING AROUND.
THE VIDEO WAS UPLOADED SUNDAY UNDER THE TITLE CALLED WE
FOUND A DEAD BODY IN A JAPANESE SUICIDE FOREST.
HIS PERSONAL YOUTUBE VIDEOS USUALLY GET ABOUT 6
MILLION VIEWS.
LATER ON HE TALKS ABOUT HOW SUICIDE IS NOT A JOKE.
AND HE ALSO INCLUDED A LINK FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION IN THE
DESCRIPTION OF THE VIDEO.
PEOPLE TOOK ISSUE WITH IT BECAUSE HE FILMED THAT DEAD
BODY, AND THE HEADLINE OR TITLE TO HIS VIDEO CAPITALIZED ON
THAT, AND THROUGHOUT THE VIDEO
HE IS WEARING THIS GOOFY HAT AND MAKING LIGHT OF THINGS.
IT WAS INCREDIBLY INSENSITIVE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER
THAT SUICIDE IS ONE OF THE TOP REASONS FOR DEATH IN JAPAN.
>> FULL CONTEXT, EVERY DAY HE DOES A 15 MINUTE VIDEO, IT IS
EDITED SO THAT CUTS BOTH IN FAVOR OF AND AGAINST HIM.
IN THIS CASE HE HAD DONE A VIDEO ABOUT ALL THE QUIRKY DIFFERENT
CULTURAL THINGS HE SAW IN JAPAN.
IN THE REST OF THE VIDEO, NOT RELATED TO THE FOREST, HE IS
LAUGHING AND JOKING.
IN THE MIDDLE HE HAS THE FORCE THING WHICH IS APPALLING AND HE
BLURTED OUT THE FACE BUT HE DID SAY THAT SERIOUS STUFF, BUT WHEN
HIS CAMERAMAN IS CONCERNED ABOUT STANDING NEXT TO THE BODY HE
JOKES YOU HAVE NEVER STOOD NEXT TO A DEAD GUY BEFORE?
AND
LAUGHS.
OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED THAT IT IS NOT TAKING IT
SERIOUSLY.
WHAT HE SHOULD'VE DONE WAS BROKEN HIS NORMAL
PATTERN AND DONE A MORE SERIOUS ONE ABOUT THIS.
I THINK HIM PUTTING IT UP IS NOT WRONG.
SHOWING THE FULL BODY EVEN WITH THE BLURRED FACE IS PROBLEMATIC.
LASTING IN ANY PORTION IN THE VIDEO IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE.
WHAT HE SAYS IS FOR 460
DAYS STRAIGHT I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS KIND OF VIDEO.
I UNDERSTAND THAT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND ñ
FOR EXAMPLE WE DO A TWO HOUR SHOW.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE ONLY WATCH ONE CLIP AND THEY THINK THAT IS
THE ONLY CLIP WE HAVE EVER DONE.
BUT WE COVER THAT ISSUE 100 TIMES.
BUT HE ALSO SAID AS ONE OF HIS EXCUSES, IT HAPPENED IN THE
SPUR OF THE MOMENT AND WHAT COULD WE DO.
>> YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO PUBLISH IT IN THIS 15 MINUTE LONG VIDEO.
LET ME GIVE YOU HIS EXACT APOLOGY.
PEOPLE WERE ACCUSING HIM OF DOING THIS FOR THE VIEWS, HE
SAYS THAT IS NOT THE CASE.
SUICIDE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE, I DO NOT THINK HE WENT INTO IT WITH
THE INTENTION OF RAISING AWARENESS OF SUICIDE.
THAT IS BS.
SUICIDE REMAINS THE TOP DEATH OF PEOPLE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 15
AND 39 IN JAPAN.
IT IS REALLY BAD JUDGMENT AND HOPEFULLY A HUMBLING MOMENT FOR
HIM.
SO HE CAN MAYBE THINK TWICE BEFORE POSTING MATERIAL LIKE
THAT.
I'M NOT SURPRISED PEOPLE REACTED THAT WAY.
SUICIDE IS A BIG PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES AS WELL.
I'M SURE THERE ARE TONS OF FANCY HAD FAMILY MEMBERS WHO TOOK
THEIR OWN LIVES.
INCLUDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS JOKEY VIDEO IS NOT THE WAY TO
GO.
>>HE EDITS THE VIDEO, IT IS NOT A LIVE BLOG SO HE COULD OF
DONE IT ANYWAY HE WANTED.
HE CHOSE TO PUT IT IN THE MIDDLE.
IT WAS DEFINITELY WRONG
IN THAT SENSE.
AND HIM SAYING HE IS NOT DOING IT FOR THE VIEWS IS BOTH TRUE
AND NOT TRUE.
SOME OF THE ARTICLES ARE PAINTING IT LIKE IT GOT 6
MILLION VIEWS AND THAT IS WHY HE DID IT.
MAINSTREAM NEWS HAS NEVER HEARD OF YOUTUBE.
ON THE OTHER HAND IS HE DOING IT TO GET VIEWS IN GENERAL?
OF COURSE HE IS.
HE WENT TO THE SUICIDE FORCE BECAUSE HE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
A COOL THING.
THEN HE MADE THE WRONG JUDGMENT CALL AND IT CAME OUT LOOKING
UGLY.
THE LAST THING IS HE IS 22.
THAT I DO STUPID THINGS WHEN I WAS 22?
YES.
I THINK THERE ARE ñ I THINK HE GETS IT THAT IT WAS WRONG NOT.
>>I THINK THIS IS HONESTLY ñ I AM GIVING HIM THE BENEFIT OF THE
DOUBT ñ I THINK THIS IS A SYMPTOM OF INTERNET CULTURE.
WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS WE HAVE BECOME SO DESENSITIZED TO THINGS
THAT PEOPLE WILL DO OUTRAGEOUS TERRIBLE THINGS ON A REGULAR
BASIS FOR ATTENTION AND THEY
BECOME INSTANT CELEBRITIES.
AND SOMETIMES YOU GO A LITTLE TOO FAR AND PEOPLE BITE BACK
AND I THINK THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
YOUNG YOUTUBERS DO CRAZY THINGS WHETHER IT IS STUNTS OR
PRANKS.
AND IT HAS WORKED HANDSOMELY IN THE PAST.
I THINK THIS IS JUST A SYMPTOM OF A CULTURE THAT HAS BEEN
AROUND FOR A WHILE.
>> YES ON THE INTERNET PEOPLE GET A TON OF ATTENTION FOR
STUFF LIKE THIS.
BUT A LOT OF THAT IS BECAUSE OF MAINSTREAM NEWS.
BOTH HIM AND
HIS BROTHER ARE INCREDIBLY POPULAR ONLINE AND WITH
MILLENNIALS?
SOME OF HIS MUSIC
VIDEOS GET 35 MILLION VIEWS.
INSTEAD THE ONE TIME HE DOES SOMETHING WRONG YOU REWARD HIM
WITH A LOT OF MEDIA COVERAGE JUST TO BE ABLE TO SAY YOU SEE
THIS KID ON THE INTERNET?
HE IS SUCH A BAD GUY.
WHAT YOU DON'T REALIZE IS THAT WHEN YOU DO THAT IT INCENTIVIZES
OTHER PEOPLE TO THINK WHAT CAN I DO THAT IS SO BAD I CAN GET
ATTENTION?
WHEN YOU DO GOOD THINGS NO ONE IN THE MEDIA WILL COVER YOU.
>>THAT IS THE CASE FOR MANY PROFESSIONS.
>> ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
IF TV GUYS GET SLIGHTLY BETTER RATINGS
EVERYONE WILL SAY WHAT A STAR.
HE IS LARGER THAN ANYONE IN CABLE NEWS BY A LANDSLIDE.
AND YET THE ONLY TIME EVER ANYONE COVERED HIM IS WHEN HE
DID SOMETHING WRONG.
