Logan Paul officially went too far after posting a video of a dead body he discovered in Aokigahara, Japan, which is also known as the “Suicide Forest.”
As we previously reported, the YouTube star has since deleted the extremely graphic clip from his channel which actually shows the body of someone who seems to have committed suicide.
The potentially triggering video was slammed on Twitter for its harmful and insensitive content, and Logan’s apology hardly touched on the reality of his actions.

Now, many are calling for the Internet celebrity to be banned from YT:
Dear @YouTube
Can you do us all a favour and permanently remove Logan Paul from YouTube, showing someone that has Committed suicide in a video and laughing about it, is not cool
Yours sincerely
Everyone who has been effected by suicide

My disappointment is two-fold. Logan Paul is an adult who uploaded horrific content, and youtube made it TRENDING. So much wrong with the community.

I do think @YouTube should make a stand and delete @LoganPaul channel. This would be a great start to 2018

While others, like Chrissy Teigen, have suggested people just don’t watch his videos:
Re: Logan Paul, something I always think about is when people make…ethical mistakes, as in, not-illegal, should we really be trying I ruin their lives and end their careers or accept the apology, personally make a choice to stop watching, and move on.

An example I have is with a certain clothing company. Years ago the designers said things i personally found horrible about IVF children. I made the choice to simply…never wear or purchase again instead of trying to “end them”

So, we have to ask…
If you, or someone you know, is thinking about suicide, feeling depressed, or is struggling emotionally, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.
It’s not easy, but it gets better.
