catching up on stuff ive been meaning to read now that im mostly done with the semester & loved this piece on how we move forward from the james somerton situation by @its-gita-time in Aftermath.

three sentences i’m going to be thinking about for a while:

“The sad but unavoidable truth is that there is very little justice in cases like these. James Somerton has already stolen my work — the damage has already been done, and it cannot be undone. I have to move throughout the world knowing that an injustice has been done to me; that is just an unfortunate reality of being alive.”

anyway pls go read the full article. its a good one (gita’s stuff always is):

The James Somerton thing is one of those rare cases where the amount of force applied by a viral video exposee / public shaming is probably the exact amount that was necessary to stop a bad actor from acting badly. However. The aftermath of public violence is often fear. So I would caution people against taking the "live your life in a way that avoids hbomberguy making videos about you" atmosphere too seriously. Remix is ok. Pastiche is ok. Transformative works are ok. Citing sources in a way that isn't perfectly consistent with MLA and APA standards is generally fine. The problem with a vibes-based crime is that there are always going to be grey areas. Somerton went way past the grey and over the line, but don't let the fact that one person did crimes in the shittiest possible way scare you off of crimes entirely. Push the envelope.

i was barely ever aware of james somerton but in the aftermath of The James Somerton Downfall Of 2023 ive just thought about this one person i encountered who was fighting tooth and nail to argue that mlm are more oppressed than wlw and wlw have it easy. and im like "ohhhh so THATS where they got it from!"

obviously im glad james somerton didnt make his disco elysium video but i also think its aftermath would have been extremely funny
