On a completely non-politics related note…I am glad I never heard of this Logan Paul shit before, because christ. If this guy is one of the “biggest’ Youtube stars, then I’m glad I haven’t quite jumped on the wagon of idolizing purely online celebrities.
Japan Isn’t Happy With Logan Paul’s Tokyo Video, Either
On January 1, the most important day on the Japanese calendar, when families gather and think about the new year, YouTuber Logan Paul posted an apparent suicide on YouTube. That wasn’t the only time he insulted the country’s cultural norms. He started doing that days earlier.
On December 30, he uploaded a clip titled “We Fought In The Middle Of Tokyo!” In it, Paul goes around city as if its his personal playground. He does that in his other videos in the US, but this isn’t the US. It’s a city that he’s visiting in a country that has allowed him to enter.
“I swear, Tokyo is just a giant playground,” Paul says at one point during the clip. “Maybe it’s not. Maybe I should stop. Probably not.”
He probably should have stopped.
And from the comments:
On top of horribly disrespecting the mentally ill, Logan Paul’s ENTIRE Japan trip was a mess. He ran around in a conical straw hat, parading an Asian stereotype. He disrupted landmarks and koi ponds and the general public. He’s a horrific example of American tourism. pic.twitter.com/EI3fCL7kHH
