“I made this video for two reasons: for me to encourage other people to not bully other people online,” says Logan in the two-minute clip, “and to encourage other people who have been bullied to not let words hurt them.”

According to Logan’s dad, the cyberbullying dates back to the posting of their first viral vid last spring. The negative comments continued to pour in, which gave Logan the idea of filming a video response. But delivering his message to the world was a hard sell for Dad.

“I was very hesitant,” Fairbanks tells PEOPLE exclusively. “It took Logan a few months of pushing, but I became convinced that he was mature enough, and if there was a chance for him to make a difference in the world then why not try – no matter how rough the road.”

In the video, Logan bravely scrolls through the hurtful comments left on the father-son duo’s numerous YouTube videos. “I’ve never read them before until now,” he says softly. The comments (“It’s funny because he’s fat,” “He looks like such a stupid fatso”) understandably affected him, but Logan stood by his goal: to reach those who have dealt with similar experiences.

Since its debut two days ago, Logan’s video has garnered unwavering support from fans all over the world, including messages from people in Sweden, the U.K., Norway and Israel, thanking Logan for his bravery.

“I hope that people don’t bully other people online anymore and that this helps,” Logan says at the end of his video. “And people who have been bullied, don’t let these words affect you.”
