Whether you like or dislike Logan Paul, his move from being a controversial YouTuber to a mega rich celebrity is something I’d like to write a research paper on.
Since their explosion onto the internet, Logan and Jake Paul have done so much to cement themselves as influential figures.
There was their separate YouTube ventures, their move into becoming professional fighters, Logan's collaboration with KSI to create Prime - an uber successful energy drink that dominated UK supermarkets for a time - and so much more.

However, Logan's career as YouTube prankster is something that has constantly shadowed him, with his most infamous controversy being his 2018 filming of a deceased person in Aokigahara Forest, or 'Suicide Forest' in Japan - a move which he expressed deep regret over.
He said in an interview with Casey Neistat the same year: “I want to become better; I don't want to let my mistakes define me.”

Since then, he has been on a path to becoming a better man, and his online persona has surely changed as he seemed to want to learn more about other people and their views.

Now, with the release of Logan and Jake’s reality TV show on HBO, called Paul American, people have been able to see more and more of his changing viewpoints.
Having aired on 27 March, it shows the Paul family in all of their glory as they navigate their newfound fame.
But in one candid sit down scene of the show, Logan uttered a five-word comment about women which left people online all making the same comment.
The boxer, who's recently welcomed his daughter with his fianceé, Nina Agdal, shared his thoughts to the camera in a confessional during Thursday’s episode (24 April): “Thinking about having a daughter, my mind went to some dark places, dude.

“I don’t wanna come across like a woke a******, but like…Dude, women have it hard.”
He continued: “Women have it f****** hard and I empathise with them.”
Of course, women have been saying this since the dawn of time, and while there are a lot of people who do understand this, there are those who may not be so aware.

However, some commenters believe that Logan is at an age where he should have recognised this a lot sooner, as one person said: "Women have it hard congrats you learned empathy at 30 but calling him a feminist is a leap.”
Another wrote: “Making this realization at 30 years old. wow.”
A third said: "Are we being deadass," while someone else shared: “Damn, some background soft music and y’all thing we’re gonna take him seriously after all he’s done and said.”
A fifth wrote: “One thing I never would have described Logan Paul as is a feminist.”
