Millions of people watched as Logan Paul revealed his true colors in a series of disgusting vlogs. While in Tokyo, Paul not only disrespected the citizens of the city, he also ventured into Aokigahara, otherwise known as the Suicide Forest and filmed a dead body. We strongly believe that Logan Paul is extremely problematic and cannot be let off with a simple apology.

The only reason he entered Aokigahara was to have video content. Aokigahara is a part of Japanese culture. Legend says that spirits of the dead reside in the greenery. Nationally, the forest is known as a major suicide site. Paul claimed to not think that he’d see one. When entering the forest, there’s a high chance that you will encounter a dead body. There’s no way he couldn’t have gone near the forest and not have realized this. Blinded by the amount of views and monetary gain, Paul exploited a deceased man in a greedy way; there’s no way to overlook this terrible mistake.

If the media hadn’t exploded into outrage, Paul would have still thought his video was harmless and funny. He only apologized because a multitude of people criticized him for it, leaving his career in danger. There was no apology for one overlooked point— the blatant disregard of Tokyo and its citizens. His childish behavior consisting of bothering random people on the streets and mocking Japan’s culture with insulting jokes happened continuously on his trip to Japan. There was no apology for that. Logan only cares about fixing his image. Later on, he isn’t going to try and become educated and be involved in another scandal.

Others that support Logan and his work may say that he’s young and doesn’t know better. Logan Paul is officially an adult, he’s not a baby who needs constant instruction on how to act. Instead of automatically forgiving him, we need to teach him more on why he was wrong.

Terrorizing the lives of the Japanese and flippantly filming a dead man isn’t okay. Being famous means there’s more scrutiny on you, and as an entertainer, there are boundaries you can’t cross. A minute and 44 second video isn’t enough to forgive Logan Paul.
