a second video essay has hit the james somerton

[fortunelowtier]

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

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.

u/ZhouLe on r/hbomberguy posted James Somerton’s most current Patreon post regarding the concerns (see: facts that bury him to the point of having no future career on YouTube or in any journalistic space)

A comment by u/ZhouLe under this post expands more on this by showing that James had an even worse reply to Hbomb’s video, which he (of course) deleted and replaced with the more current one above

The now deleted Patreon post, as linked by u/ZhouLe on Reddit:

Original Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/hbomberguy/s/GYNBhjfjbd

Hbomb video exposing James as a piece of shit plagerist who tried several times to downplay just how much he plagiarized (and now will never be able to defend himself because the evidence in this video is so damning): https://youtu.be/yDp3cB5fHXQ?si=VmBTJr2vxuXMWV2U

This is how you credit things, by the way, James.

modern day version of a guy getting run out of town on a rail when all the yokels he sold "vitality elixirs" figure out its water and food dye.

Just as the dust was settling from the smoldering crater that was Hbomb's video essay,

I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR TODD IN THE SHADOWS WITH A STEEL CHAIR!

[mothmouth]

yeah this one belongs in the fucking sus pool for sure

[cyanide-sippy-cup]

Hbomb changing his YT pfp to parody James' deletion is one of the funnier developments of this whole thing.
