I am seeing too many teenagers talking about wishing they were fangirls in 2013. Let me tell you, as someone who was 16 in 2013 I saw everything! I lived through it all! I have seen the mania of Beiber fangirls and Directioners firsthand. I was on tumblr, ao3, quotev, fanfic.net, (not wattpad cause honestly they scare me). I saw the imagines, the one shots, the poorly made edits, the "sexy" fanfic written by 13 yr olds. Teenagers arguing about what One Direction mlm ship was best. I was there for the cringe! It was a warzone out there.
Supernatural, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Game of Thrones, Adventure Time, Once Upon a Time, The Fault in our Stars, Divergent, 50 Shades of Grey, Twilight, Pretty Little Liars, Switched at Birth, Steven Universe, MARVEL!
I saw the flood of Avengers living together in Avengers tower fanfic that flooded ao3. I was there for the creation of Loki simps. Mishapocalypse. Superwholock. The Game of Thrones mania. Jack Frost simps that crawled out of the woodwork when Rise of the Guardians came out.
I HAVE SEEN EVERYTHING! And I was at the perfect age for it all to be hitting me. I was the exact demographic a lot of these fandoms were aiming for whether it was intended or not. It was not a simpler time. It was unlawful. Anything went and it was terrifying!
The president's shoelaces are everywhere...

Actually the funniest part of the entire James Somerton debacle is the response his cowriter Nick gave. For context, Hbomberguy talks a bit about Nick as a cowriter, and there is not any strong evidence implicating Nick of also plagiarizing, so Hbomberguy takes the angle of "Nick is probably not (also) responsible for the plagiarism".
Nick's response?
To claim he could not be part of the plagiarism, because he does not read. And does not do research...
SOURCE: I Fact-Checked The Worst Video Essayist On YouTube - YouTube, video essay by Todd in the Shadows.
The second screen cap is maybe a tongue-in-cheek joke... but bold choice when everyone's eyes are on you to respond to serious allegations. And this screencap doesn't include the other wishy-washy statements, pre-video, from Nick saying to the effect of "I write based on vibes. I come up with an idea and ruminate on it." For research videos. For educational videos about queer history and queer media culture.
Adds flavor to the Todd video, which goes through two-dozen examples of Somerton videos which just claim... provably factually incorrect bullshit.
This guy is a writer. An author. You could not waterboard "I don't read" out of me if I were aiming to launch a writing career.
Beating the plagiarism allegations by confidently asserting you suck too bad to ever get that far.
