Posted by lisabethur8What is "it"?
i never even heard of it.
but i dont see why it shouldnt be aired on youtube if its really happening.

Posted by AstrobynDidn't he also say he witnessed the suicide?
so about the youtube dude that posted a dead body on YouTube from the Japanese suicide forest.
It was all over the news and Society has shamed him for this.
But why do "we" deem this as wrong... is it that we have such a hard time facing death and our own mortality.
why? why is it wrong?

Posted by Ram416Is that true? The video is gone now which I never seen, so I'm just going by what others had to say about it.Posted by lisabethur8What is "it"?

He admitted in the end that it was fake.

Because it's disrespectful to the dead. Someone killed themselves in suicide forest, most likely because they felt overwhelmed by life, suffered from depression, or something else that drove them to the conclusion that their life wasn't worth living. The fact is, that Logan Paul doesn't even know this person's name, yet felt justified in displaying their corpse. And that's not even mentioning how painful it could be to the family.
It just seems highly disrespectful to me.
TL😄R;
If a relative or a friend of mine committed suicide, I wouldn't want anyone to use their death as a cheap ploy to gain views or attention.

Posted by sierra_yeah he dont care it seems. just only to make more milions of viewers.
the dude was giggling and joking upon finding the body (this is why general society shamed him)
(below is why specifically japanese society shamed him)
japanese culture can sometimes shame people...specifically family members of convicted criminals, people who have racked up massive debt and youngsters bullied at school etc.
to consider suicide...
there used to be a practice of leaving the elderly in that forest to die in times of famine
and the elderly embrace their death so as not to burden their families even further

Posted by nanoThe last bit. Especially considering his core audience. It was irresponsible.
I don't understand the difference between that particular youtube video vs the movies, articles, numerous other videos, photo, documentaries, blogs, etc posted online over the years on Aokigahara. It's been a thing popularized for years, so I don't understand what was so different and horrible about the fact that he did it.
I get the suicide thing and how it's disrespectful. But he was not the first, nor was he the last.
Edit: I did not watch his video because it was taken down, but he is not the first nor last to even joke about it. I think it was because he had such a large platform that it was a bigger deal than if joe blow did it.
Posted by nanoi dont have that kind of stupid bravery even for a milion extra viewers.

Posted by nanoTweens/teens. Kids that are topping themselves in record numbers. Kids that are dealing with bullying in a way we never imagined. The video was a bad idea for both.Posted by hippiecriteWhat kind of youtuber is the kid? Who is his core audience?Posted by nanoThe last bit. Especially considering his core audience.

Posted by SpaceBirdHope you’re not attemting to sway me. I’m already in your camp. That dick is wasted space.Posted by hippiecriteNo 1 He mocked a lot of people's pain.

No 2 he is desensitizing young people to suicide by presenting it in this manner. And we know many young teens consider suicide.
The key with teens ...is not to talk about them about the grotesque art type horror of it ...or to talk of prevention.
It's simply to remind teens ..MANY of you ...will have suicidal urges ..in fact most of you ..this is normal. And get teens to talk about when they wanted to commit suicide. And for it to be normal to talk about when you are feeling like this for teens. Because it IS usual and likely most teens will feel like this at one point. Whether it be hormonal or the brain not used to dealing with emotions or emotional /social situations. They don't yet have the emotional resilience or experience to deal with extreme emotions that teen yrs produce.

Posted by AstrobynI always just assume that it's out of respect for the family. And further, what if the family member finds out their loved-one is dead from a random youtube video rather it being done formally and ceremonially?
so about the youtube dude that posted a dead body on YouTube from the Japanese suicide forest.
It was all over the news and Society has shamed him for this.
But why do "we" deem this as wrong... is it that we have such a hard time facing death and our own mortality.

Posted by Cancervirgo15degreesIt's all right to ask questions about morality. I don't see anything wrong with her asking those questions, it gives us a chance to assess our own sense of morality.Posted by AstrobynBecause its disrespectful to the family obvs. I cant believe this is a real question. Do you have brains? People are so insensitive nowadays it makes me wanna hurl and smack a bitch.

Posted by Cancervirgo15degreesPosted by Ram416No she was saying about someone posting a dead body online and why is it so wrong. Im saying you shouldnt be posting pics of dead people anywhere because the familys are getting fucked up over it.

Posted by TheRabbitThis forest is not so public.Posted by SupesActually it's quite the opposite. Commiting suicide in public is all about being seen. These people do it because they want every one to see and the victim wants to "punish" others. Most of those who attempt/commit suicide go in with a "I'll show them" mentality.
We censor what we find offensive. It’s human nature to do so. However, we all have different levels of what we find offensive. Shaming people for what they do or don’t deem acceptable isn’t right either. This falls in line with the govt trying to regulate all sorts of shit they deem wrong.
What I don’t understand is why the hell people cant stay in their own lane.
If a dude commits suicide in public, he dgaf who sees his dead ass. If he did, he’d have done it in private, right?
Unless this was part of a legit documentary or educational production, all this video and the subsequent backlash did was reinforce how much suicide can impact people in the minds of those people considering suicide as an option.

Posted by Supes"Everyone" wants to be seen and that's part of the problems in the world todayPosted by tctaoThe victim wants to be seen.
this subject is worthy of discussion no doubt as it is plaguing our younger generation and those who are deeply troubled - could society address the problem without showing the victims - yes of course - we don't want to see a society where death is everyday common and/or so "optional" - the older generation are able to be assisted to die when they can no longer live with their ailments - but to show the victim is disrespectful in my humble opinionclick to expand

Posted by Supeswe created these monsters - it's not their fault that they were born into this rotting society - I blame the parents and the errors of all previous generations which fall into the children's laps - they are our future and we can't "sacrifice" them so to speak for the sake of our own greed and comfort - they have inherited all the grief and bullshit and there is very little fight left to musterPosted by tctaoLol.

Posted by Supesyes there are many variables - it's a huge problem - I just wonder what it will be like in say 20 years ...Posted by tctaoI agree that it’s a result of bad parenting. Lazy parenting to be exact.

the time is soon coming where there is literally no turning back ... yes, I do still have hope - because that's all I can have to hold on to - is there enough goodness left to save this planet and will it be able to balance the evilness that abounds in almost equal measure
