Logan Paul claims that he originally intended to focus on the haunted aspect of the forest.
Dear @LoganPaul,
How dare you! You disgust me. I can't believe that so many young people look up to you. So sad. Hopefully this latest video woke them up. You are pure trash. Plain and simple. Suicide is not a joke. Go rot in hell.

“You never stand next to a dead guy?” Paul says laughing as someone his group said he didn’t feel good after seeing the hanging body.
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.

Paul later responded with what he calls an apology saying he was trying to raise awareness of suicide and suicide prevention.

Disney cut ties with Paul’s younger brother, Jake, last year. The younger Paul had been in the media for causing havoc in the West Hollywood neighborhood he moved into.
PewDiePie also had lost a contract with Disney following his anti-Semitic content on his channel. He also apologized in September for using the n-word in a broadcast.
But the real people to blame are Google and Youtube for favoring Youtubers with massive followings and views, even though they claim to have strict policies.
If it hadn’t been trending for celebrities to see it and voice their opinion, the video will still be up today because it seemed most of Logan Paul’s 15-million dumb subscribers did not care about the content. In fact, they “liked” the video.
Here is a great video from True Geordie that sums up my thoughts.
Although there are no official figures for suicides in Aokigahara, more than 500 people are said to have died there since the 1950’s.
