The swiftness and brutality of Hbomberguy’s complete evisceration of James Somerton’s career cannot be overstated.
Can somebody give a tldr of what happened? I've only seen reactions.
James Somerton is a white gay business major who built a 337k subscriber, ~3,500patron career as a content creator (derogatory) on youtube by serially plagiarizing the work of other queer theorists.
The image you see of a lot of text on screen highlighted in a bunch of different colors is the script of one of his earliest and most important videos color coded by who a particular passage was plagiarizing as he read their words out loud as if they were his own without credit.
Hbomberguy and Kat together identified 18 distinct victims of somerton's creditmongering in this one video alone, as well as plagiarism of equal measure in at least half of his catalogue of videos with the rest of the catalogue still being highly suspicious but not yet identified as plagiarized.
In addition to the plagiarism, he's also being called out for misogynistic beliefs which tend toward being the only thing of his own which he injects inbetwixt the words of others, his use of identity as a shield from criticism, his darvo-ian tactics of denying a plagiarism occured (using the following he built to SLAPP in the court of public opinion), and his 'film studio' Talos has over the course of several years and $64K dollars donated to it expecting it to make indie films has produced NOTHING but movie posters created using stock image assets packs and more empty promises.
Hbomberguy decided to use his 1.3m subscriber base worth of clout to destroy the man's career with two hours of non-stop evidence and receipts (with a two hour preamble on the details of other plagiarists's activities to establish a baseline).
zwoelffarben's summary is supremely good. I would like to add a few bullet points about the details that make this just so unbelievable to watch.
"Plagiarism" can cover a wide umbrella of pulling from sources without citation... This is in fact THE most egregious kind you're imaging. Verbatim, word-for-word reading out of articles written by small-time queer authors that James simply pretended were his own words, research, and opinions.
He stole the words of not one, but TWO different people who died of the AIDS epidemic. Stole their words and voices and gave none of it to their memory.
Nearly everything plagiarized was verbatim, save for a few intentional word-replacements: He would take "homosexual" and replace it with "queer". "Trans" and replace it with "LGBT".
He would occasionally skip over parts of articles while reading them verbatim if those parts were anecdotes that clearly did not belong to him, like one belonging to a trans writer talking about their trans experience.
He did, occasionally, interject his OWN few sentences... exclusively to include misogyny. In the middle of reading someone else's words about Ted Bundy, James interjects his own sentence about the "hordes of white women swooning over Bundy." He claims it's all "straight women" denying the gay rep in Yuri on Ice in the comment section of his YOI video. HBomb checked. There are no such comments. He has a "women have it easier" rant about ND Stevenson and Rebecca Sugar... who are transmasc and nonbinary respectively. (But hey, misgendering is cool if you don't respect their assigned gender right?) He repeatedly shits on the "straight woman" author of Love, Simon, despite her being bullied into coming out as bi due to exactly this, and when she gently asked him to stop deriding her as a straight woman fetishizing the gay experience, he continued to do it and acted like she'd blown up at him.
And maybe you're wondering "He copied so much verbatim. How did no one catch him?" They did. People did catch him. And he got them bullied into silence by claiming the people who noticed the plagiarism were sending death threats, were doxxing him, were anti-queer trolls, and were lying. The main person who caught him asked HBomb to keep her name out of the video and talk about her as little as possible due to the enormous harassment she'd been through.
He preached so much about being a voice for queer people, about how people needed to support him since he was doing this kind of work for queers no one else was... while stealing from, silencing, and squashing every small-time queer author doing the ACTUAL work that he lifted in order to fund his massively lucrative internet career.
I feel like it would be useful if people conceived of causing emotional harm to others more through the lens of being the emotional equivalent to stepping on someone’s foot. Like obviously you can step on someone’s foot deliberately and maliciously, but most of the time if someone tells you you stepped on their foot you’re going to go “oh sorry I didn’t realise!” and stop doing it and try not to do it again. Getting caught up in how it makes you feel to be Someone Capable of Stepping on Others’ Feet would be a transparently self indulgent distraction from the other person’s pain, but also like… that’s just a status you hold by virtue of being human. Never ever ever stepping on someone’s foot is not really achievable, and therefore is not necessary to being a Good Person: what matters is that you do not step on others’ feet deliberately, and – most importantly – that you react kindly and calmly to any inadvertent foot-stepping you have been doing being brought to your attention, so that you can make best use of it as something that will help you reduce the amount of foot-stepping you will do in the future.
the way people treat girl characters in fandom joker-ifies me
no no please go on. explain to me again. why you find the girl that does arguably less annoying and extremely realistic things for a person in their situation is MORE annoying to you than her guy counterparts. please explain to me why you never talk about her. please explain why even though shes also a main character you couldnt even describe two of her character traits btu you can write an entire essay on why those men suck eachother off. please. come closer. im a normal cat

We were correct as children btw it sucks so hard that pokemon aren't real. It's the worst thing ever.

tbh i hate the way people talk about autism on this site, including some fellow autistic people
like i get trying to fight back against the stigma surrounding autism but going to the opposite extreme to talk about how autism is just so sexy and cool and quirky is harmful.
autism isn't a personality trait, quirk, trend, always positive, or something you choose to have.
it's a neurodevelopmental disability that is still highly, highly stigmatized.
the anti-vax movement was literally born from ableism against autistic people. the belief that a child is better off dead than autistic is scarily common. autistic people are still discriminated against to a staggering degree and abused in basically every way, especially medically.
i am not quirkier or more interesting or more intelligent because i'm autistic. that's fucking weird and some of the shit i'm seeing parroted on here are literally just dangerous ableist stereotypes being repackaged (see: the idea that all autistic people are "savants").
i see fellow autistic people on here reinforcing stereotypes, diagnosing strangers, and infantalizing themselves while thinking they're being cute or progressive, and it's weird.
i also see fellow autistic people erasing the fact that autism is labelled a disability for a reason. it may be a huge part of who i am, but sometimes it fucking sucks. sometimes it makes my life a lot harder, and not just because people treat me badly if i'm being noticeably autistic.
i hate that i have dyscalculia and mild prosopagnosia and sensory processing issues.
i don't want to skin pick. i don't want hyperfixate to the point that i don't eat for a day. i don't want to have panic attacks over normal social interactions, or feel rage over extremely common sounds, or struggle to understand norms.
hyperfixations aren't just "heehe i love this tv show so much and want to talk about it all the time" or "she is super knowledgeable about a specific topic." i have literally seen people on here claim someone has a hyperfixation because they studied and specialized in a niche field.
often, if you're neurodivergent, having a hyperfixation means:
becoming so engrossed in something you fail to take care of yourself, neglecting hygiene, failing to eat or go to the bathroom, etc.
being unable to think or talk about anything else, which can damage personal relationships.
being unable to split or divert your attention, even when you want to.
losing track of HOURS and thus failing to do important tasks or remember important things.
having disproportionate emotional turmoil when you're unable to discuss, view, etc. your hyperfixation.
I drink this and my knees no longer crack and make weird noises.
Money Troubles
Hey guys.
I really hate to be that person, but due to some circumstances outside of my control, such as getting very suddenly sick last week and being out of work for an extra week because of it, I'm going to need financial help and unfortunately I don't have any family members I can turn to.
I really hate begging for money, and I don't want anyone to think I'm going to paywall my art or anything considering it's fanart, but I'm really desperate here. Most importantly I have to make sure I can pay my car insurance because if my husband is caught driving with no insurance, he could lose his CDL and, subsequently, his job.
If you can help, both my paypal username and my venmo are laurawrites with an @ at the front because I don't want to accidentally tag a blog with that name. Any amount helps and is appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
