#if you saw this a few days ago no you didnt

[adimouze]

What if you were max verstappen and what if this really hot older man met you at a karting thing and he was a fancy f1 driver who also wished you good luck for your super licence and he ends up being your teammate and you didnt know teammates were supposed to be this way because no one else is this way and what if he left you and the team and everyone thought he left because of you but it turns out he's still your friend and he would chase the feeling of having you as a teammate chasing chasing chasing the same feeling he had with you but it is never the same as it was with you and you never chased the feeling because there could only ever be him and then what if you won and you kept winning and he kept having his career ripped to pieces but he always smiled for you and supported you and said "if it's not me then im glad it's him"

and then!!! and then he comes back!!! he could be your teammate again but he joins the junior team but he's still in the family and you get to joke around in the same spot and then!!! he could be back in the car next to you!!!! he writes you a tribute and it makes you have to walk away from prying eyes because he wrote it with such love but then your boss is an incompetent asshole and he ends up walking away forever and you thought you lost him but truly it was never about the sport you were in you were meant to be friends and teammates forever and ever because he still watches your races and comes to a different continent to just play padel with you and it's just you and him forever and you just saw him a few days ago but he's part of a congratulations message and he calls you spectacular like he did so many years ago and you're just a man and you love him and also that man is daniel ricciardo

i don't hate a.eon by any means, it's just that i have come to realize a bulk of what fans put out for it requires varying amounts of mischaracterization, for ada more so than leon, and it's... vastly uninteresting, watered down, and honestly kind of generic a lot of the times. with a lot of what i see (almost all of it)... it doesn't feel like Ada and Leon... it's just characters that vaguely resemble them performing various tropes, which is a real shame because i genuinely believe there is potential there, it's just that 99% of people refuse to acknowledge them as seperate characters with seperate goals, and that was their perception of what a.eon should be

While we're here, I just want to add an example of a good response to Harris' video.

In the first half of the video, Harris briefly mentions a creator called Lukeypoo (who now goes by Luke Stephens) who had plagiarised Harris' Bloodborne review, and his response at the time was to deny it, signal to his alt right buddies and insult Harris.

After the video came out, Luke Stephens made a post on his community page regarding it:

For those, who can't see the screenshots, it reads:

A video went up on YouTube last night that showed something I did 6 years ago in early 2017, of which I'm very ashamed. I've talked about it on stream plenty since then and try to be very open about it, but I know a lot of people haven't been watching me since 2017 or have not heard me discuss this before. I don't want to hide from my mistakes or deflect, so very plainly here's what happened:

I was just starting on YouTube and I ripped off a phenomenal video on Bloodborne. It was a fantastic video by hbomberguy and after finding it through a Reddit post I tried to take his 1.5 hour masterpiece and make my own suckier version at around 7 minutes. I copied the premise, jokes, structure, and then pretended like it was all just a coincidence that they were so similar. I was a 19 year old idiot who thought it didn't matter because "he's a bigger creator so it's fine" and "it's just the internet." When I was rightly called out for copying his video I dodged, lied, and even attacked and insulted the appearance of those holding me to account, including hbomberguy himself. I copied someone's video, in parts word-for-word, and I pretended like *I* was the victim and *they* were being unreasonable. Unbelievable. There is no question at all: I was in the wrong, fully.

Let me be very clear: I whole heartedly disown who I was back then and what I did. Politically, religiously, and even morally/ethically I was a person that I hate today. I was an extremist, a bully, a religious zealot, and above all, a prick. This event sparked a spiral in my personal life that I didn't document online, but that has led me to who I am today. Someone who tries very hard to respect my fellow creators, audience, and to uphold a high ethical standard for myself. I strive every day to be a better man for myself, my family and kids, and for the community around me. And that's why I'm writing this, because I don't think we should hide from our mistakes or pretend they didn't happen. I screwed up, big time, and I stole the hard work of an incredibly talented creator and for that I'm incredibly sorry. I was 19, hard headed, and above all arrogant and unwilling to acknowledge I had screwed up. It took a couple years after that before I could openly admit what I had actually done, and that it took that long is all the more shameful.

I don't expect a response or certainly forgiveness, but for what it's worth, I am truly sorry for everything, @hbomberguy

For the last 6 years I've been working my butt off to be someone I can be proud of being and I hope you all can see that the man I am today is not the shameful excuse of a person I was back then.

I've never watched a video or stream by Luke Stephens so I can't attest as to his content, but this is one of the best responses I've seen to any kind of accusation, and so I lean towards believing him to be a better man than he was six years.

I thinks it's important to highlight the good response/s to Harris' video, to remind ourselves that plagiarism is not such an immoral action that from which you can't redeem yourself (though in Somerton's case, I'm less sure of that) if you take accountability for your actions, and to remember that in most cases, we should give people space to grow and become better.

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