Logan's fame started on the platform known as 'Vine'. When Vine shut down, Logan made a YouTube channel called TheOfficialLoganPaul, on October 18, 2013, where he would continue to post regularly. On August 29, 2015, he created the Logan Paul Vlogs channel, which is now his most-subscribed to YouTube channel. It was also said he "was ranked on the Forbes list for the highest paid YouTube creators in 2017, 2018, and 2021." [3]

About the Video

Encounter Clip

In a video posted in 2017, Logan Paul, a YouTuber, filmed a man hanging in the infamous 'Suicide Forest' also know as Aokigahara Forest in Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi, Japan..He fucked up and here's what happened.

The initial purpose of the video was to focus on the haunted aspects of the forest and to camp there throughout the night when they unexpectedly stumbled across a man hanging from a tree and were met with a shocking site...When they got to the forest, they were cracking jokes and making light of the situation but stressing that it is suicide forest. At 5:47, They discovered the body, Logan said, "Im not even kidding, this isn't a fucking joke guys, that's a fucking person." After repeated denial they got closer to the body. In shock, Logan asked "Did we just find a dead person in the suicide forest, hanging?" And after being asked if they think it's real, one of his friends mentioned they know the possibility of it being a real person based on a previous suicide from a classmate from the junior highschool he went to, (I am unsure if he was referring to this possibly being the man hanging in the video) this prompted the man to take action and called the police.

When they got closer to the body, they tried checking for signs of life by exclaiming things like "Hey/Hello" "You okay?" "Yo are you alive, are you fucking with us?" They show his hands and they're purple, indicating that this was a recent suicide and is infact dead

Photos of the Hanging Man

Thankfully, he did censor his face with the intent of protecting him, his privacy, and his family. This being said, there is not a known/public uncensored video, so please don't ask me for it.

Throughout the video they expressed their denial and how this has never happened to them before. Logan apologized for the grim video, saying how "Suicide is not a joke" and "Depression and mental illnesses is not a joke, we came here with the intent to focus on the haunted aspect of the forest. This just became very real." When they were met with the reality they came to realize it was "real" and "way too scarily real" and that it was "the most real vlog I've ever made"..they start making jokes of the situation by sarcastically asking "you ever stand next to a dead guy before?" to which they start laughing at and follow up with their own jokes and went on about how the whole video was supposed to be a joke but asked "why did it become so real?" He says his laughing and jokes are not a portrayal of how they actually feel about the situation however they were still met with a lot of backlash to which he has since responded to in a 1:44 minute video and a public Twitter/X post.

I do not know what was going through his head when he was editing and thinking this would be suitable for the platform or his audience. He was disrespectful and exploited the situation and excuses his actions as a "coping mechanism".

Why Was it a Problem?

Consider his target audience, it is primarily children and teens. Displaying a real depiction of a dead person on your public channel is very disturbing and distasteful and the way he was exploiting the situation/the hanging man is deplorable. He didn't take the situation seriously and covered it as a coping mechanism, regardless of how he processes this stuff, he still has a young and impressionable audience who shouldn't be exposed to content like this and the way he was light-hearted about it all took away from the seriousness of the situation and what happened with the man. He blatantly exploited him for what he thought was spreading awareness for suicide.

His Apology

Public Apology on Twitter/X

You can review the response this post got here:

https://twitter.com/LoganPaul/status/948026294066864128

Video Apology

Logan made this apology with no intentions of being forgiven but to apologize. He ensures the initial video was raw, unfiltered, and unscripted and how they were unsure of how to think or act given the circumstances. In his apology to the victim/his family and to the Internet, he asks that those who are defending his actions to stop because those actions don't deserve to be defended. He said, "I should have never posted the video. I should have put the cameras down" and claims didn't post the video with ill or malicious intent.

Backlash

Understandably, people were angry with the video he put out. Carelessly filming a hanging man and joking around and sharing it to his YouTube where his primary audience is children and teens. He didn't take the situation seriously and

Tweets Responding on the Situation

Again, more responses can be found here: https://twitter.com/LoganPaul/status/948026294066864128

PewDiePie (Felix) himself called him out on a now deleted tweet saying:

Felix wrote: "Logan Paul goes to 'suicide forest': WoAH wE f0UNd ded GuY here!!!!! s0 cRaZy! lEMme jUsT zOom in oN tHis F0r tHe Vl0g. OK guYs seRiousLy, lEAve a like if yur sad to0." [4]

In response to everything, Logan donated $1 million to suicide prevention agencies

The Lawsuit

While Logan wasn't removed from the platform, he was sued for this incident, rightfully so. On February 12th, CEO Susan Wojcicki said that "Paul did not violate YouTube's three-strike policy and did not meet the criteria for being banned from the platform." [3] Logan was sued by a production agency called Planeless Pictures for

The lawsuit claims:

Paul “knew that the broadcast of the suicide would have a substantial impact on his followers and would also have a serious adverse impact on Planeless.” [6]

The YouTuber “intended to take advantage of the substantial anticipated exposure that the broadcast of the suicide would generate and thus enhance Paul's celebrity and acted in reckless disregard for the adverse consequences that he knew would result to Planeless" [6]

On or about January 22nd, 2018, Google terminated its partnership with Planeless and declined to distribute their movie, "Airplane Mode," which Logan starded in, citing the suicide broadcast as a noncurable event as per their agreement. "As a result, Planeless never received the compensation that Google was contractually obligated to pay to it — $3,500,000," the documents allege. [6] The company is now pursuing Logan to reimburse this sum along with other general and consequential damages, as well as attorney's fees and legal expenses.

Aftermath

After the video was released, he was cut from the Google Performed program which allows advertisers to pay to place their ads on high-performing videos on its site and in an interview he mentioned he lost $5 million from it. He also lost sponsorship/brand deals, his YouTube Red series "Foursome", and more. In 2018, according to Social Blade, he lost 6k+ subscribers since the incident and at that time he was at 15.2 million subscribers.

But despite the backlash from the incident, he continued to gain over 300,000 (2018) and has continued to rebuild himself and grow from the situation. Logan Paul continued vlogging on February 4th, after a 3 week long break, and has remained successful at 23.5 million subscribers and is at 6 billion views receiving an average of 5+ million views per videos (2024). He is still successful and will likely remain successful if he continues to move on the right track. He is the co-founder of 'Prime' beverages. And starting in 2018 he has run the 'Impaulsive' podcast which has over 4 million YouTube subscribers and is overall a successful podcast. "As a wrestler, he has been signed to WWE since June 2022, where he performs on the SmackDown brand and is the current WWE United States Champion in his first reign." [3]

I believe he has since grown and learn from this particular situation and understands the severity of his mistakes, he unfortunately had to learn the hard way. It is clear he has a past and continual history of fuck-ups and dumbassery.

I spend far too much time finding uncensored versions of screenshots. I might as well publish this post.

Thanks to @Peconi for compiling all these images in the linked post. I did not find all the 4chan screenshots because that would take way too much time, and you can just search for the posts on archive.4plebs.org (inb4 deleted).

I was not the one who originally found any of these pages. I don't know who did.

Adam Lanza

Adam Lanza was born on the 22nd of April 1992, in Kingston, New Hampshire. He exhibited signs of developmental disorders early in childhood, later being diagnosed with aspergers/autism when he was 13. He had a hit and miss experience with school, he was drawn out of high school and was homeschooled, he earned a GED. Adam attended classes at a university between 2008-2009. Adam went to a catholic school during 2004-2005, there is a possibility Adam was sexually abused during his childhood, which may have influenced his development of pedophilia. Adam was diagnosed with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder when he was 14, psychiatric recommendations for treatment of Adam were not pursued after a negative experience with an anti-depressant, from then on Adam never got any psychiatric or medicinal treatment regarding his mental health, Adam later developed other mental illnesses such as anorexia nervosa and depression, he also began to self-harm at least a year before the shooting.

Adam's parents divorced in 2009, Adam stayed with his mother Nancy, while his brother, Ryan, stayed with his father Peter. Nancy was living off of an alimony between 200k to 300k dollars a year, Adam never worked a day in his life and lived off of his mother's money in a three story house up until the shooting when he was 20. In 2010, Adam cut himself off from his brother and father after his father said that Adam would be unable to ever fulfill his dream of being an army ranger.

In the two months prior to the school shooting, Adam had completely cut himself off from the world, he did not talk to his mother or come out his room at all, Nancy Lanza was somehow okay with this and decided not to try and help Adam at all, although Nancy didn't know about Adam's plans for mass murder, Adam's self-harm and depression was more than enough reason to remove guns from the house considering the high correlation between self-harm, depression and suicide.

Aftermath

In 2013 the Connecticut government passed a gun-control bill with support from politicians of both political parties. The bill requires universal background checks and a "high capacity" magazine ban, and added over 100 guns to the states "assault weapons" ban.

In 2014 Sandy Hook Elementary School was demolished, it was rebuilt and opened in 2016.

In 2015 the town of Newtown decided to acquire and demolish the home of Nancy and Adam Lanza.
