James Somerton made another apology video which essentially boils down to him saying he wants to "start from zero", he will be making a new Patreon so that way those who still wish to support his content can support him there, but the funniest goddamn thing about this is that the title is stolen from Hbomberguys old series of the same name

MY MAN PLAGIARIZED THE TITLE OF HIS APOLOGY VIDEO FOR PLAGIARISM FROM THE PERSON WHO CALLED HIM OUT ON HIS PLAGIARISM

Every time a video essayist clearly avoids using the phrase "begs the question" because they've finally learned their lesson I feel the thrill of victory on behalf of pedants everywhere

I really do hope that James is okay, this is a horrible situation and I'm hoping we'll get a positive update. However, Hbomb is not to blame for this at all

- the video was necessary imo. I don't think this would've gone anywhere had hbomb contacted James privately to say "pls stop plagiarising uwu". James's audience deserved to know, and so did the people whose content was plagiarised. James would've had to come clean on his own terms but we KNOW he would've just made excuses and possibly lied further.

This wasn't a "don't like him, just block" situation when James was actively stealing from queer creators for his own gain AND spreading misinformation AND the movie thing.

- he told his audience not to harass James. It's inevitable that there would be harassment, and that's horrible, but those actions are out of hbomb's control

- James's actions are also not hbomb's, they're his own. Personally, I think that saying "it's hbomb's fault" minimises the situation at hand and ignores larger issues with mental health and the like

- that exact mentality of "don't ever criticise someone or they might commit" is very bad. It keeps people in abusive relationships, it keeps people from speaking out against others. Someone committing or attempting is not on the person speaking up. Public criticism was very necessary here.
