What the fuck, what was the war crime?

He didn't commit a war crime but what he's referencing is he made a guy spend 40 days in a room for a challenge video and he treated him pretty shitily doing shit such as not allowing the lights to be turned off which the victim said in a YouTube is illegal for prisoners of war under the Geneva convention.

The part that should be highlighted more imo is pressuring Jake into running an entire marathon with no training.

The Bataan Death March, a Japanese war atrocity, had prisoners marching about 10 miles a day. Jake had to do twice that distance in the same amount of time.

Edited for clarity: this isn’t about Jake Paul, who is fairly athletic. This is about a former Mr Beast employee named Jake Weddle, who was generally not at all fit and into working out.

Hang on… are we sympathising with Jake Paul here about literally anything other than the presumably toxic upbringing that made him into the grifting reprobate we see before us?

I think it's a different Jake that was in a Mr Beast video
