#seriously if you haven't gone through hbomb's rec list

[starrygazingpie]

but on a more serious note, i'm thinking Heavily about the sockpuppet line he had about the plagiarism

so what? 10 years or not enough views and it's free takesies for any ideas?

just this perfect isolation of what hbomb was saying about how plagiarists see the people they're stealing from- that they don't respect them, that it'd all be better coming from their mouth.

and also how he sees his audience- all paying attention only to him and what he says, with no curiosity to go look for other creators.

it genuinely is just this distillation of him using other people's work to prop up himself for views.

and like look this shit was insulting even before i specifically did go through the logs of people that were stolen from- to read their works myself.

The people he stole from are people telling their own personal stories. people who are telling stories about things that they love deeply. people who are telling the stories of the communities they belong to and love- communities that are still sidelined and marginalized.

and he just continues to slap queer creators in the face while claiming to be The Authority on queer media
