Logan Paul claims Flat Earth mockumentary was a \u201cf*** you\u201d to his haters Logan Paul Vlogs, YouTube \/ Truth TheoryControversial YouTuber Logan Paul debuted his anticipated Flat Earth documentary on March 20 \u2013 but the film wasn\u2019t as audiences initially expected. Rather than being a legitimate documentary on the Flat Earth community, Paul\u2019s film played out more like a comedy sketch, featuring hilarious moments between the cast and an obviously scripted dialogue. Paul opened up about the making of his \u2018mockumentary\u2019 in a video on March 28, where he admitted that the film had been created as an insult to his critics in light of his recent scandals. [Timestamp: 10:02 for mobile viewers] \u201cPart of the reason I made it \u2013 it sounds bad \u2013 it was kind of like a \u2018fuck you\u2019 in a way,\u201d Paul said of the project. \u201c\u2026this was my way of tricking every single person who wanted to hate me.\u201d The YouTuber went on to explain the difficulties in keeping the joke a secret, claiming that he had to put on a charade as a Flat Earther after making his speech at the Flat Earth International Conference in November 2018. \u201cIt was so hard to stay in Flat Earth character for so long,\u201d he continued. \u201cI was getting railed for being a Flat Earther.\u201d He likewise responded to backlash resulting from the film, which caused some critics to accuse him of taking advantage of the Flat Earth community for his project. \u201cMy logic is this: if they\u2019re willing to lie to themselves and lie to the world\u2026 I was willing to lie to them about something I really, really don\u2019t believe in,\u201d he explained. Paul\u2019s initial appearance at the Flat Earth International Conference made waves across the internet, with many believing that he truly believed in the Flat Earth theory. Paul himself even teased the possibility in a podcast with \u2018The Corridor Crew\u2019 in January 2019, claiming that, \u201cYou two could be sitting in front of a Flat Earther right now.\u201d 600 Logan has since expressed a desire to step away from YouTube, stating that he wants to \u201cdo more\u201d and branch out into music, filmmaking, and comedy in an Instagram post on March 23. While Paul teased a one to two year break from the platform, he continues to upload videos in the interim ahead of his boxing rematch with YouTuber KSI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
