YouTuber Logan Paul faces fresh backlash as more controversial Japan videos emerge

In the controversial footage, Logan and his friends appear to make light of the incredibly upsetting situation, even joking about whether they’d seen a dead body before as Logan zoomed in on the body and commented that the deceased person’s hands look “purple”.

However, the controversy is far from over, with Twitter account We The Unicorn sharing a video montage featuring other moments from Logan’s trip to Japan, proving that the ‘Suicide Forest’ video was not his only controversial moment.
