I’m aroace, but I did NOT miss out on aesthetic attraction. I just tell people all sorts of people they’re pretty or hot completely nonchalantly because I mean exactly that. Nothing more, nothing less

It’s so funny cause somebody literally asked, “Are you pansexual?” because I said women were hot (which they, and I will DIE on this hill)

As a hijabi: combo of both. Our ears are supposed to be covered, like in yellow. And our necks are supposed to be covered, like in pink.

[ ID: Digital, stylized art of a young girl holding the Palestine flag, frowning. Next to her, newspaper style text, which reads: Today is the only day you can choose to end your silence. Today should be when you throw away your neutrality.

The girl has light-medium tone skin and brown eyes, and wears a pink hijab, a tan shirt, a brown vest, matching brown shorts, pink leggings and brown boots. The flag looks painted. Behind the girl is a piece of cardboard and a pink collage with paper and flowers. Background behind it is white. /End ID ]

I love being fully unaware of YouTuber drama and which channels are "popular." My first reaction at the start of that section was "who the hell is James Somerton"

I thought I'd do better but there were just some things that apparently never crossed my dash. However, as a smut writer in good standing, I have to dust my shoulders off a bit at my results.

The swiftness and brutality of Hbomberguy’s complete evisceration of James Somerton’s career cannot be overstated.

[mamapluto]

Can somebody give a tldr of what happened? I've only seen reactions.

[zwoelffarben]

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.
