Seorang bintang YouTube dari Amerika Syarikat telah mencetus kemarahan netizen selepas menyiarkan video mayat mangsa bunuh diri di Jepun.
Logan Paul, 22, yang mempunyai 15 juta pengikut di YouTube, digelar “kurang sensitif“ dan "menjijikkan" selepas berkongsi video dia bergurau senda bersama rakannya sebelah mayat yang ditemui di hutan Aokigahara di dasar Gunung Fuji - tempat bunuh diri yang terkenal di Jepun.
Paul dan rakan-rakannya terjumpa mayat seorang lelaki yang baru sahaja bunuh diri ketika memasuki hutan tersebut untuk pengembaraan.
Video tersebut turut menunjukkan tubuh lelaki itu, yang identitinya tidak diketahui dari beberapa sudut tetapi mukanya dikaburkan.
Video yang dikongsi oleh pada hari Ahad itu menerima berjuta-juta tontonan sebelum ia dipadamkan oleh Paul.
Susulan itu, netizen mengecam tindakan bintang YouTube itu dengan menyifatkan ia sebagai ‘bodoh dan ’angkuh’.
Mereka menyoal kewarasan Paul dalam menyiarkan mayat mangsa bunuh diri tanpa menghiraukan perasaan ahli keluarga atau rakannya.
Ada juga yang mendesak YouTube untuk mengambil tindakan terhadap Paul.

One question, Logan Paul. If that man who took his life was your friend, family, a loved one, and someone came along, filmed, laughed, acted like a complete degenerate, then edited and uploaded that video, possibly before you even found out about their death, how would you feel?

If you wanna raise awareness about suicide rates, you don't stand over a dead body, make jokes and then upload the video to YT. That's not a "mistake". That's vile and disrespectful, and Logan Paul knew exactly what he was doing

Congratulations Logan Paul, I have never watched a single one of your videos, but now you forever be known as that insensitive cunt who thinks suicide is funny.

Logan Paul knew what he was doing and knew that what he was doing was going to get him views, that why he did it. He knew he was talking about a sensitive topic and as a 22 year old man he should know to cut that out of the video. Its sad what people do for money.
