Logan Paul, bina-bash na naman
ISANG taon makaraan ang “Suicide Forest” controversy na kinasangkutan ng YouTube vlogger na si Logan Paul, muli na naman siyang dinudumog ng pambabatikos dahil naman sa New Year’s resolution niyang “(he) will go gay” sa loob ng isang buwan, ayon sa ulat ng E! News.
“Looks like #LoganPaul is going gay for a month. Because a person can just flip a switch and be gay/ straight whenever they want,” post ng kapwa YouTube blogger na si Donny Winter sa Twitter. “You’d think you’d learn from your past antics, Logan.”
“Logan Paul ‘going gay’ is disrespectful to the LGBTQ community it makes it look like being a gay is a choice which homophobic a--holes use as a attack on the gay community can we leave this a--hole in 2018 thank u, next,” sabi pa ng isang netizen sa social media platform.
“The fact that this man believes you can ‘go gay’ and just turn it off for a month is troubling... disrespectful, and downright disgusting” hirit pa ng isa. “Logan, what you need to do is just stop.”
Hindi na bago sa kontrobersya si Logan. Ilang oras lang matapos niyang i-live ang kanyang Japanese suicide forest video, ay binura agad ito ng platform ang video na sinundan niya ng paghingi ng paumanhin sa publiko.
“Let’s start with this—I’m sorry,” panimula ni Logan sa kanyang mahabang statement para sa milyun-milyon niyang Twitter followers. “This is a first for me. I’ve never faced criticism like this before, because I’ve never made a mistake like this before. I’m surrounded by good people and believe I make good decisions, but I’m still a human being. I can be wrong.”
Gayunman, sa kabila ng kinasadlakan dahil sa eskandalo, determinado si Logan na ipagpatuloy ang kanyang career.
“Good luck trying to cancel me,” sabi niya noon sa The Hollywood Reporter, bilang tugon sa artikulo ng New York Times na kinapapalooban ng mga personalidad na “who had been canceled by the internet”.
“It’s so easy for anyone to be like, ‘Logan Paul just ended his career. He’s done.’ But the only person who will ever decide whether that’s true is me. Like, if I sleep for the rest of my life, maybe. But, like, dog: I love this s--t. This creating? It’s my passion,” sabi pa ni Logan.
As of press time, hindi pa nagkokomento si Logan sa natatanggap na bagong pambabatikos.
