Logan Paul Reckons He's a "Good Guy Who Made a Bad Decision"

Trigger Warning: This article discusses suicide.

While the #loganpaulisoverparty has been in full-swing since the end of last year when he uploaded a controversial video on YouTube, Logan Paul appeared on Good Morning America (GMA) to plead his case.

He told GMA that while he respects the backlash over the video he posted, he believes he's a "good guy who made a bad decision" and will "think twice" or three times in the future about what he posts.

He also explained that it's the first time he's felt that everyone in the world hates him. 

"It's been tough. Because ironically I'm being told to commit suicide myself," Paul admitted. "Millions of people literally telling me they hate me, to go die in a fire. The most horrible, horrific things."

A lot of controversy surrounding the unethical video focused on the fact that despite it being inappropriate for the deceased's family, his primary viewership is mostly under the age of 16. 

He went on to say that his videos, in general, aren't really intended for people much younger than him.

"Sometimes I cuss. Sometimes I make inappropriate jokes," he explained. "It's odd because I'm 22 years old, it's not like I'm making content necessarily for kids... I want to make jokes that kids my age are going to like."

Many people weren't having a bar of it.

"I think I'm going to earn a second chance. I don't think everyone should get a second chance," he said.

"People do horrible things. This was a horrible lapse of judgment, and I can, will, and am going to learn from it and be a better person."
