Hope the link works.

I know this is a very very sensitive matter but I'm aware he has a huge child fan base and I can't bare thinking some children could watch it.

For the record, for anyone that ever feels low, please know you are never alone. Talk to someone. My inbox is always open, in case you feel you have no oneThanks

Don't watch it. Why would you? It's a real person. A desperate, sad person who has taken their own life. Nobody should want to watch it, not even out of morbid curiosity. By watching it you're also then supporting what this blogger has posted in many ways . You can't complain that he recorded, edited and posted it if you're then one of those people who seek it out and watch it.

The dead person deserves some level of respect. Please don't watch him in his death.

Do you have teenagers? If so, you'll know that if you ban them from doing something, they'll just want to do it all the more. And if they don't watch it at your house, they'll watch it at friends or when they're out somewhere as most places have free WiFi. It's better to sit with them and suffer through these things and educate them as to why some youtubers are not good role models. My dd has watched several Jake Paul videos and come to the conclusion that he's an imbecile who treats other people (women especially ) like shit. This is because we've sat down together and discussed it.

I saw and reported it last night, I was horrified but this man has been a racist and emotionally abused his girlfriend before so I'm hardly surprised. In the original video he makes some seriously bad taste jokes and zooms in. They went looking for it and I somehow doubt it was a shock as most people leave indication of what they have done so their body is easier to retrieve.

jitterbug5 · 02/01/2018 14:57

I didn't watch it. Like a pp said, it was a real person and he deserves that respect. Utterly shameful it was the filmed in the first place. (Let alone edited, uploaded and then reuploaded)

LadyDeadpool I think you're thinking of Jake Paul with the racist stuff and emotional abuse of his girlfriend, not Logan.

Logan is definitely on the misogynist side though, just check out his 'no handlebars' song.

DearMrDilkington · 02/01/2018 15:09

It's scary how many people are defending Logan on Twitter/Facebook. I wonder if they'd feel the same if the man he filmed had been their father/brother/son.

Hopefully Logan grows up one day and the images he recorded haunt him every single night.

WunWun · 02/01/2018 17:10

Yes put an apology on his channel now. A better one than his tweet.

WunWun · 02/01/2018 17:11

He has, not yes.

Aragog · 02/01/2018 17:22

But too little too late wunwun.

WunWun · 02/01/2018 17:46

Oh yes, for sure! I hope I didn't sound like a supporter. I do think it's good that he at least acknowledges he was completely in the wrong. Not something I could see his brother doing.

jitterbug5 · 02/01/2018 17:59

Just saw his apology. Couldn't work out if it was sincere or a bit theatrical Hmm

OP posts:
RJnomore1 · 02/01/2018 18:15

It seemed reasonably sincere.

It's like footballers. Young lads no one to tell them any better and too much money/adoration. Add in pressure to produce content every single god damned day to keep their viewers happy and the whole thing is an accident waiting to happen.

That is NOT an excuse btw.

jitterbug5 · 02/01/2018 18:16

Apparently PewDiePie posted a video talking about LPs video, and it got removed within minutes. Yet they didn't even delete LPs, he had to delete it himself due to the volume of hate! Confused

kazillionaire · 02/01/2018 18:24

He is quite clearly sick in the head, thanks for the heads up, my lads love him and that Jake Paul, whereas I could happily chuck both of them off the end of the earth.

BornInSydneyy · 02/01/2018 18:27

Well unfortunately he’s only lost around 7,000 subscribers. He still has 15 million more.

WunWun · 02/01/2018 18:33

He gained 57k subscribers the day he posted that video.

MakeMisogynyAHateCrime · 02/01/2018 18:33

Pewdiepie’s video is still on his channel.

BattleCuntGalactica · 02/01/2018 19:02

PewDiePie is absolute trash. I did wonder when he would pipe up with his two penneth. 😒

jitterbug5 · 02/01/2018 19:07

@BattleCuntGalactica haha. Little bit pot kettle black on PewDiePie's part I feel

MakeMisogynyAHateCrime · 02/01/2018 19:07

BCG Why is he trash?

TheSecondOfHerName · 02/01/2018 19:23

The second apology (the vlog one) sounds sincere.

Aragog · 02/01/2018 19:40

I always remain sceptical tbh. These people are only sorry they got called up in in and got negative attention from celebs on a much higher level than they'll ever be. I also reckon he's probably loving how much attention he is current;y getting - name known far more widely than ever before, front page of the BBC news and on most other news sites. I reckon with these kind of stars it really is a case of all publicity is good publicity.

TheFSMisreal · 02/01/2018 19:44

BattleCuntGalactica do you read the WSJ by chance? 😂

squoosh · 02/01/2018 20:07

Fucking youtubers. Self absorbed, over-rewarded tosssers for the most part. At least Zoella just rips off 12 year olds though.

But this wanker? 'Today i'm going to visit a notorious suicide spot and see if I can monetise some poor person's sad and lonely death'.

Fuck off forever.
