#on the plagiarist

[joyflameball]

Man just doesn't stop fucking MURDERING white men who've done very shitty things

Edit: Yes I'm aware that Hbomb wasn't really The Guy to take down Wakefield, and Wakefield was gotten by Deere, however it was for the meme

Edit two: When referring to Shapiro I was talking about the Aquaman clip

i'm always a bit unsettled by disdain for intellectual or creative labor in leftist spaces. there's this commonly held belief that academics are a bunch of rich old white men, rather than a wide variety of people who are barely getting by. most lecturers in universities are adjuncts living paycheck to paycheck. authors make very little money as a general rule. most researchers are overworked and underpaid. and yet there's still this idea that academics are overcompensated to sit around and smoke cigars together while making shit up

Anyone in the Daredevil fandom who’s gotten any likes/reblogs from this account:

Or any suspicious anons, block the fuck out of her. @wolf-in-chanel (LOLOLOL I can’t even tag her anymore she stopped me from doing it) is a lying, plagiarizing, obsessive creep. She’s stolen @pastafossa TRT fic and details of her personality to the point that’s it’s super creepy. This person has created many blogs and sun accounts and sends herself a ask to make it seem like she was also the victim of the same thing that happened to pasta, even pretending and adopting that the “Impasta” was happening to her at the same time. Honey, go lick a frozen light pole and get a life.

Please report and block this person immediately and keep your fics close.

"... In the video, Somerton blames his serial plagiarism on a childhood head injury. No, that's not a joke..."

[azuremist]

“Deep Cuts: Society and Queer Horror” (the Somerton video that Hbomberguy showed a literal color-coded graph on the plagiarism therein) suddenly and inexplicably being absent is a beating heart under the floorboards.

How do I explain to someone that the side story is a book about a guy who wrote a book about a guy who read a book about a guy who read that same book and made some strangers read that very book via the first guy who wrote that book who actually didn’t even write it himself.

Begging people to not mix up Japanese and Chinese wedding traditions/clothing.  I just saw an LMK fic mention a character wearing “a traditional wedding dress, a red shiromuku.”

Which first of all isn’t even red, it’s white, it’s right there in the name, and second of all holy hell no, that’s Japanese.

Not to mention the actual wedding was a Western Christian one.

I'm having an incredibly strange glitch where when I look at my own blog, every single post I've reblogged is attributed to one of 3 blogs, assigned seemingly at random. Tumblr picked your blog as one of them, so congrats on retroactively authoring half of the posts on this website I guess!

I hope you have a good day! ✨

In a modern day that is rife with discourse about plagiarism, intentional erasure of authorship, and theft of intellectual property, Tumblr has taken a bold and brave approach to solving the problem by spinning a very big and shiny roulette wheel. They didn’t have time to think this through so it has the only three tumblr users they could think of. This has brought peace to the website.

Me anytime a video essayist I like posts a new video and wondering if it’s original work or if they plagiarized it

[pastafossa]

Just had a very bizarre convo with the Impasta in their message box in which they repeatedly denied being the impasta and dodged any answering of why they thought stealing was ok. And what became very clear were three things:

1. Yes, they know they’re stealing, and they admitted it. Yes, they knows it’s wrong, which they also admitted. However, they refused to answer my question of why they did it anyway, though I imagine we know the reason.

2. The pressure from ya’ll (thank you SO, SO much!) is absolutely what makes them fold when they’re discovered - it’s all of you that are helping. Because while they ‘apologized’ for lifting a dialogue line (while also claiming the honey tin is puuuuure coincidence despite admitting they read TRT), they kept dodging my question of ‘so why did you steal’ with ‘but I’m not this person and all these people think I AM’ and basically playing victim in some bizarre attempt to get me to tell ya’ll ‘HEY guys, so it turns out this person’s a completely different plagiarist, so stop messaging them!’ Like, yeah nah, we’d all be just as pissed if this was your first strike.

3. Like a lot of compulsive liars, this person is absolutely devoted to maintaining the charade. Which confirms for me that if they reappear in the future, there’s no point in expecting answers. The only thing that’ll work is pressure to take their shit down.

Once more, the impasta has, predictably, deleted both their AO3 account and their tumblr (though I have screenshots of their blog and of my convo with them, so that’s something). Thank you to EVERYONE who applied pressure because it is absolutely what made them fold, and they very much wanted me to tell everyone to Hey Guys Don’t Be Angry It’s Just Plagiarism 2.0. You’re my absolute fucking HEROES.

We’ll have to see if third time’s the charm!

its a bad day to be someone who doesnt care about hbomberguy

[eldritchsquared]

huge fan of how whenever someone accidentally steals a joke now we call upon hbomberguy in a joking way. hes been incorporated into the culture

[kittylordinfinity]

As someone who used to watch james somerton before he released his helluva boss video (a video that praises a show that has been openly misogynistic, biphobic, and just generally weird about its treatment of queer and other marginalized people, for supposedly being an ICON of queer representation or whatever the fuck) i am mentally writhing like a little piglet in joy at the new hbomberguy video

[mixelation]

re: the hbomberguy plagiarism video again. i keep seeing people being like "this is a reminder to always check your sources" and it leaves me wondering. does anyone on this website even understand what that means
