"I was lazy, I wasnt trying to be malicious"
My problem with the whole Somerton apology, is that his actions were arguably malicious! If you take several steps to hide what you've done, if you start vague-tweeting at people who later have to hide their presence online because of harassment, if you dismiss lgbtq+ creator's concerns by just deleting the bits of the videos where you stole from them, you're not being "lazy", you're actually putting in a lot of work so that your version of events remains the only narrative!
#usually I don't care about internet drama but this left a bad taste my mouth#I don't doubt that he's feeling true anguish#and I do feel sorry for him I can't begin to imagine the experience of being the internet's villain of the week#but I feel he doesn't truly understand the extent of his actions#and I do find it irresponsible for him to state he wants to continue making videos saying everything will be different because he'll quote#James somerton
