This is the worst thing I've ever seen.   cuz of dead bodies and stuff, but just the reaction is so odd. At first it seems sincere. And then it cuts to something that should not have been filmed so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPz3Ggujju8 "This was supposed to be fun! A joke! We just wanted to have fun in the suicide forest!!"

That dude is broken and is probably enjoying all the attention he is getting. I suspect this won't be the last time some dipshit does something terrible for the clicks.

If he didn't face any real repercussions for basically destroying his neighborhood with a giant out of control house party, he never will unless he like films himself strangling another person to death or something, and even then I'd wouldn't hold my breath because justice doesn't exist in the US.

the primary worry after you know, doing something disgusting like uploading film of yourself next to a dude who committed suicide- is that since Paul Logan is basically a PewDiePie tier e-celeb he might gently caress Youtube up even further re: advertisers like how Pewds is blamed for all the demonetization/ad-revenue drops resulting from advertisers bailing on the platform

Yea I don't like him and gently caress this guy for doing this but lol gently caress the Japanese justice system the only thing making it less evil than ours is we have WAY more gusto about ours. I don't think it's illegal to film in the forest though, is it? It's just a gross, terrible, way to behave that no adult should NEED to be told not do.

Note that Japanese culture doesn't really view suicide the same way our culture does. It's a complicated subject. Suicide prevention is a thing in Japan, but a significant portion of the population views it as a personal choice, and there are polls which show a significant number of people agree that suicide in some cases is the "responsible thing to do." Suicide hotlines who advertise up there actually sometimes get very angry calls from people yelling at them saying that they shouldn't be telling people not to kill themselves because that's a choice the suicidal individual should make for themselves. This legitimately does extend back, in part, to a somewhat unhealthy romanticization of old bushido honor suicide stuff, but also because since Japan is a more collectivist culture, a lot of people feel an immense amount of pressure to remove themselves if they feel they've "failed" their families, friends, or society in some way (such as being unemployed or untalented or chronically ill). On the other hand, Japan does view the prevalence of suicide as a legitimate social issue on a more population-wide level. Suicide rates are high and increasing. In general, suicide is seen as sort of a public crisis in that they lament the fact that their cultural and economic situation is driving so many people to suicide, but on an individual level, it's not necessarily viewed as something wrong. (But of course, Japan isn't a monolithic block of people, more and more people are starting to view it as always a bad thing, but there are still a significant number of those people who are really fervent about it sometimes being the right thing). That said, I have no idea on the specific laws governing things like gauchely filming in Aokigahara. But yes, there are targeted suicide prevention efforts there. Wikipedia actually has a pretty good brief overview of the subject, but it goes a lot deeper than this. Linear Zoetrope fucked around with this message at 05:25 on Jan 2, 2018 |

CelticPredator posted:This is the worst thing I've ever seen. There are so many layers of gross to this I know I'm getting irrationally angry but what the gently caress. 1. Why did "let's have a fun joke time in a suicide hotspot" even enter someone's mind? 2. Why did multiple people (there appear to be at least four "tourists" in the video) hear this idea and independently think this was a good idea? All right. Okay. Maybe some people are far enough removed from suicide that they think of it as a giant spooky outdoor haunted house. Maybe. Fine, you go to do the thing. From personal experience I know that you aren't in a good, rational headspace in that kind of situation, so I can't get mad at their actions when they actually found the body. But I will get mad at them uploading the video itself later. If you have to share the experience, maybe tell it verbally after the fact, include all your "suicide is not a joke" disclaimers, don't just post a dead body (even blurred) to YouTube! Why is empathy so loving hard on the internet? Linear Zoetrope posted:

The only reason why you would even consider filming in Aokigahara is if you're doing it it have an extremely candid talk about mental health and suicide and are using it as a somber talking point. That's literally the only reason I can think of a person wanting to film there.

Even then, getting real people in your shot is bad. Better to just film all the string leading into the woods. Putting the poor dead's faces in there is still something you probably shouldn't do. If you need the poignant death shots, stage it.
