Logan Paul is massively popular with “the kids”.
The outrage, which you dub ‘scripted’, is both from a hugely popular celebrity known for his wacky pranks doing something that crosses every line of decency and is being called out for it – much like PewDiePie using racial epithets. And it’s also due to a lot of longtime YouTubers calling out the service for continuing to support Logan Paul and allow him to post things like this while repeatedly censoring LGBT content.
