Honestly, the channel deletion thing isn't even Logan's fault.

If the mom's really have a problem with it, they should restrict or monitor what their kids watch. This really isn't Logan's fault, he's just doing his own thing.

[@emmanuelcarter3551]

He should however add a WARNING sign so that if some parents are afraid of their children watching bad content, they can just take the tablets away from them and stuff, but that might be one of things some parents hate which is TAKING RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THEIR ACTIONS!

[@Rey_Palpatine]

Yep, that's a load of bs. If you're the content creator, how are you supposed to stop random little kids from watching your videos, exactly? Just because it has cartoon/videogame characters doesn't mean it's aimed at little kids. This is on the parents who don't pay attention to what their kid is doing online or make sure their kid is mentally mature enough to use the internet

agreed. though, a warning in the titles or thumbnails like an age tag would have been a good way to try to mediate. i'm aware he put a warning in the descriptions, but kids and parents don't tend to read those

[@mikejr7727]

To be completely fair, the fact that he stated that this content was NOT for children, and parents were upset with HIM just goes to show how lazy parents have become. You teach your children to stay away from that kind of content, or you put locks on their devices at a young age. Parents will do anything to blame their failures on other people. Let me add here it'll never 100% be one persons fault or another, you can't control everything so either side is to blame, though I really think parents could do a much better job than they have been.

[@tenraqs00]

He still had some blame on his part. He used Nintendo IP’s which are usually kid oriented, and then would post videos with the title “Mario and Luigi go on a stupid dumb adventure” ANY brain dead iPad kid is clicking on that video thinking that it’s normal fan content just to be met with a SML video. This is also the same stuff that caused elsagate around the same time.

[@emmanuelcarter3551]

The thing is ever children can handle inappropriate content and if some parents are afraid of their child watching things they're not suppose to, then they should act like a parent and take their devices away or better yet, parents should teach children valuable lessons they should learn that away they won't repeat the same mistakes out of their own lives. They just don't like acting like an ACTUAL FUCKING PARENT!!! Even if Logan adds a warning sign in his videos, it still won't change. I'll use Vivziepop for example. She puts warning signs in every adult content she does and some children are still watching it . There was a 12 year old who was my friend who watches Helluva Boss.@@tenraqs00

I discovered SML back around 2013 with the Toad Milk & Cookies music video. I was about 11 and I watched his content all the way through the creation of his new channel. He was one of my favorite content creators and I watched his videos religiously through middle and high school, and stuck with the channel through the demonitization ordeal. Around my senior year I had slowly stopped watching just from having grown out of it, but then ended up hard distancing myself from the brand after the Chilly/Adriana drama spiked, and I didn't want to have the memory of one of my favorite creators tainted by it. I remember being absolutely floored that he was having a kid because I stopped keeping up with everything and was just massively confused. It's really awesome to see that he's still doing well, relationships were mended, and that his channel is doing a lot better. Banger video.

[@RMTheMan]

Genuinely, when Logan got that cease and desist letter I thought Logan would quit. All the drama, lawsuits and swatting I thought would’ve been too much for him. But no, he kept going and now his life seems to be at an all-time high with his new channel thriving, his one year old daughter and his relationship with Chilly back and stronger than ever. I really applaud him for that, and that’s why he will always be one of my favourite creators.

You gotta give Logan credit for pushing through ALL these hardships, demonetizations, controversies and even a Cease and Desist to deliver (admittedly not aprropriate but still good) quality content! 👍 Also, you gotta praise Logan for not being afraid to take risks! It’s bold, but admirable considering KZbin’s guidelines! ⭐️

I’ve been watching SML since 2014 and has been one of my favourite channels, up there with SMG4. It’s not for everyone, and some of the new videos are a hit or miss, but I gotta appreciate Logan and the crew’s hard work after going through all that drama, including with Nintendo. Thank you for making this video, Tom. 💚

I didn’t know of SML’s existence until I walked around my local mall and saw this weird store full of puppets. After talking with people, here’s what I can tell about being in the area 1. You always know when him and his gf are around because you see the Mario and Peach Lamborghinis 2. I’ve never seen someone in the SML store other than the opening day. They actually moved from a large store near the food court to a smaller store 3. Dude is actually super nice to fans. My sister’s friend showed up at his place, he took pics with her, and, if I remember correctly, he gave her a switch.

This was a refreshing video about SML honestly. I never watched him and absorbed knowledge of him through other channels similar to this, but they all focus on "the downfall" of channels and focusing entirely on the controversial stuff, but it was nice to have a more positive outlook on him and his career, especially after how much he got beaten down by KZbin and the media. This video gave me a brighter outlook of him, even if I'll likely never watch his content.

I’ve been a fan of SuperMarioLogan for over a decade now, and to see him go through all of this after working so hard to provide content for us weekly for nearly his entire career was painful. I’m glad that you shared this so it can get out to people who are unaware of how unfair his journey has been to him. I wish you and Logan good luck on you guy’s future. Also shoutout to SuperMario134, The Cute Mario Bros, and SpinDashpro for also playing a massive role in my childhood around the same time as SML.

[@Sunflower_SM64]

@@danielmccarthy3672 believe what you want, respectfully, Logan never would’ve sat in a room one day with the rest of the cast and said “let’s make fun of autistic people”. He’s just not like that. He was talking about how they came up with jeffys design in a video, they just wanted to make a dumb character to the extent of him not even being potty trained at 11-18 years old. I don’t think that the fact that I’m denying that a puppet being dumb means that it’s creater is making fun of autistic people makes me childish. Don’t you think that’s a LITTLE bit of a stretch? And the fact that he’s wearing a helmet doesn’t say much either, they explained in the video “Jeffys sister returns” why he wears a helmet, and it’s not because he’s dumb, long story short. Even though he literally IS dumb. It’s the whole point. I feel like the fact that people somehow get offended by that is childish, not the fact that im denying that Logan’s making fun of mentally challenged ppl. You really shouldn’t jump to conclusions. I know you’re not being a jerk, but you can’t really say that you’re not when you literally point fingers at a content creator for offending you with a puppet skit right after.

[@Sunflower_SM64]

@@danielmccarthy3672 yeah, you’re right. I’ve never meat anyone like Jeffy. It might be because he’s (I’ve said it before, I will say it one last time) a puppet. It’s not supposed to be realistic, him wearing a diaper in his teens isn’t supposed to make him autistic… it doesn’t have to make sense, it’s a Mario plush channel for crying out loud. You can believe what you want but Logan has never mentioned anything about Jeffy being autistic… see? You can’t even design a character to your liking without offending somebody. People try and jump to conclusions, if it offends you, or reminds you of your son and upsets you in some kinda way, that’s completely fine. Just ignore it. I wouldn’t accuse the creator of purposely mocking people with the disability. Let me ask you this: why can’t you create a character that’s stupid to the point of not being stupid? Is that to stupid for you or something? Why does his design make you think that Logan is 100% making fun of kids like your son? As for Logan being a Christian, I think making fun of kids with a disability for absolutely no reason would be pretty evil, I’m saying he’s a good person who wouldn’t do that.

Dude, I love SML. The idiotic sense of humor isn’t for everyone, but you have to respect this dude’s dedication. He loves making people laugh and smile and you can tell. Regardless of what you think of the guy’s content, man’s got a heart of gold Edit: for the record, I’m not really crazy about the racist and ableism jokes. Some people are being way too harsh to people in the replies for being bothered by some of these jokes. It’s completely valid to not like these jokes, especially if you’re a part of one of the groups being made fun of. I’m on the spectrum, so I completely get how Jeffy and some other characters upset people, but for me personally, I just see him as a goofy character. But people are right to criticize Logan for being ignorant.
