Ok, I'm just going to go ahead and get this over with. Logan Paul, one of the infamous Paul brothers, recently posted a video filmed in the Suicide Forest in Japan, near the base of Mount Fuji. Not even two minutes into the video, they find the body of someone who had recently hung themselves. THEY START JOKING ABOUT IT. This is not okay, at all. This is absolutely disgusting, and I definitely understand the backlash he has received on Twitter from celebrities such as Aaron Paul and Sophie Turner. The video has been taken down as of now, but with the amount of backlash this guy has received is hopefully enough to get his channel deleted. A lot of popular Youtubers in the anime community, including Anime America, Akidearest, Lost Pause, and The Anime Man, have responded to this, and to be honest, I can definitely agree with them. What Logan did was disrespectful, unintelligent, disgusting, and just plain wrong. The Suicide Forest, whose Japanese name translates to The Sea of Trees, is a beautiful place if you don't know it's history. Overall, the best response to this was from The Anime Man, who tweeted "Logan, get the fuck out of my country." I agree with him completely. All of the videos that Logan has filmed in Japan have been incredibly disrespectful. Japan is an amazing country, and the people who live there don't deserve to be treated this way. Another thing I should mention is that Logan's so-called "apology" is complete bullshit. My point is, what Logan did was wrong, and I hold absolutely no respect for him whatsoever.
