Disgraced vlogger Logan Paul is promising a ‘return’ of some sort on his Twitter account.
In a video posted Saturday, the 22-year-old is shown shirtless and emerging from a cave near the ocean.
He has a large and wild head of hair with a wispy beard and shields his eyes as he looks toward the sun.
A voiceover proclaims: ‘One man, well, boy. One boy, who is also a giant choch, the legend, the myth, the maverick.’
Logan Paul posted a video to his Twitter account on Saturday promising a ‘return’ of some sort to occur ‘tomorrow’
A voiceover proclaims: ‘One man, well, boy. One boy, who is also a giant choch, the legend, the myth, the maverick’
Text then reads: ‘TOMORROW’. The tweeted-out video is captioned: ‘THE RETURN’.
The nature of this return is not specified.
A choch, per Urban Dictionary is ‘synonymous to a douche bag and is defined as a male with spiked hair (usually blonde or bleached blonde), a fake tan and fake jewelry. In other words, a choch is totally fake’.
The second most-prominent definition on the site is simply ‘Logan Paul’. It appears, therefore, that Paul may be attempting to reclaim this epithet.
Paul, 22, was widely condemned for a video he released in which he laughed about suicide victims at Aokigahara
Aokigahara is a heavily forested area on the slopes of Moutn Fuji in Japan that is notorious for being host to a high concentration of suicides
The announcement comes following his Thursday appearance on Good Morning America, during which he asked for a ‘second chance’.
Paul prompted a significant backlash after posting a video to his popular vlog in which he mocked suicide victims in Aokigahara, a forest in Japan notorious for the number of suicides committed within.
‘It’s been tough, cause ironically I’m being told to commit suicide myself,’ Paul said. ‘Millions of people literally telling me they hate me, to go die in a fire. Like, the most horrible, horrific things.’
Paul’s decision to film and then post the video led to an immediate uproar, with YouTube removing the footage from its platform and Google Preferred going one step further and dropping Paul.
In the video, Logan Paul is heard saying: ‘You guys got a dead guy in the forest.’
He added: ‘I’ve got to say, this is the top five craziest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.’
At another point he even yells in the direction of the body: ‘Yo, are you alive?’
And after asking his friend, ‘What, you’ve never stood next to a dead guy,’ Paul starts laughing.
Paul, responding to the widespread backlash his video created, characterized himself as ‘a good guy who made a bad decision’
Paul was quick to suggest that some of the blame in this controversy lies with parents who let their young children watch his videos.
‘I’m going to be honest with you, Michael, I think – I think parents should be monitoring what their children are watching more,’ said Paul.
‘Every parent I meet whose kids are under the age of 9 or 12, I go, “Hey, you let your kids watch my stuff.” And they go, “Yeah, what am I going to do?” But at the same time, it’s not like I’m a bad guy. I am a good guy who made a bad decision.’
The week before the interview, Paul directed his fans to a new video in which he pledged to donate $1million of his estimated $14million fortune to ‘various suicide prevention charities’.
