    holding accountable part even just being that people wouldn't give him money and shit. like since when is accountability for a scam that you can no longer do the scam? it's not like he was being billed or even sued by anyone? I mean they could do that, they could send him a bill for the copyright infringment as a post-license proposal before suing. (randos hating and light harassing him like weirdos isn't accountability either, as a gay author historian about gay creators he should already know that what he was going through wasn't some major drama in that way)

    Something important to note that many people seem to be forgetting: This was never just about plagiarism. Somerton was also a bully himself, someone who would use victimhood and lies to unleash his own communities onto others, among other really quite nasty behaviour. If it was just about plagiarism, he never would have received such a vociferous backlash against him. Also, Hbomber only made a few posts regarding Somerton after the original video and then let the matter drop. Claims by some, such as Chud Logic, that Hbomber targeted Somerton relentlessly are simply lies. CL's video on this subject was utter trash.

    It needs to be understood how much lying was in both apology videos because it kind of sounds in this like he was trying his hardest to apologize when he wasn't. The second one was woefully abysmal because he claimed to be trying to truly accept his deepest flaws but then said his plagiarism was due to a childhood injury. Believing this injury happened, let's just run with that: For something like 4 years at least- AT LEAST James has been writing scripts by copy and pasting full paragraphs from outside sources, changing words enough to try to avoid getting caught or make it align with his own opinion- and then totally forgetting he had done that. He would then go over the scripts with Nick-never noticing he had done this, and never noticing while filming. Sounds plausible? EXCEPT- James was called out for his plagiarism and lack of proper crediting multiple times, and he handled it by taking the videos down and removing these sections, the exact sections he had taken from other sources. Of course this could just be because when authors told him out their work he could directly compare them, but then why not stop writing scripts in a way that causes this outcome? Because that didn't stop until Harry's video. It's just not reasonable to believe that in years of being told he was plagiarizing in his writing, he wouldn't write in a way that prevents that if it was caused by a disability. He understands the concept of wearing glasses to help his visual disability, and that working for himself from home helps is physical disabilities, but somehow the head injury that affects his writing is just totally off limits for treatment of any kind. It would be impossible to change anything in his approach to prevent it from happening over and over again.

Also Folding Ideas made a really good patreon video explaining how James scammed people out of money, and how he used that money to buy like 16k in cameras lol

    "The landscape has dramatically changed for the creators who were called out" ... has it really? The AVGN incident was already well known by the fanbase and the matter had been put to rest when the culprit was found out and fired from the team. The fact that James wasn't the one doing the plagiarism helped minimizing brand damage. HBG's video served as a reminder of an unfortunate thing that happened, but people had already moved on. Iilluminaughtii was already down in the pits because of stuff that was FAR worse than plagiarism. Her downfall had already happened earlier, and the needle was so far down it almost couldn't move any further. IH has almost not felt a thing. Though to be fair it was pretty clear from the beginning the impact it would have had on him would be negligible. The dude released a video right at the same time as the HBG one and the overwhelmingly positive ratio showed as much. Three or four people parroted Tommy Tallarico memes on the comments, but that was it. The positive reception on his new video pretty much confirms what we already suspected. Somerton seems to be the only one who has really suffered a "before and after" to be honest. And while this is speculation, I suspect his political commentary and takes (as shown in Todd's video) are what's REALLY fueling the hate against him. Doesn't change the fact that HBG's video was the trigger, but it would explain the intensity of the hate he's been receiving compared to other similar cases.

    though gamerfrommars might not see this, yes I can confirm Hbomberguy claims that he "wasn't really involved metokur" is a lie, I know it is a lie because hbomb , along with many others in that now defunct group, would target others online by finding a victim, and then spamming their comments with hateful stuff, reuploading their content and then doxing them in the description, and just making short videos mocking them. I know this because I was there, I was one of those targets, and hbomberguy was one of the many who was actively involved in the harassment train, doing whatever they could to make you leave the internet for good. so rambles aside: I don't think hbomberguy is a terrible person, I do think people change, neither I or anyone else need or want a apology, what I would like to see is him actually admitting he downplayed his role when he was involved with that group, as for years its been hard to ignore it as I among a small few, know for a fact there is a huge memory hole that has been placed to hide his past ties with that group All I am saying none of this would of came up again if he had just admitted his involvement and apologized years ago when it was brought up, instead of lying about it

Hbomberguy or anyone that makes exposés like him aren't the weapon, but the create the sights that send all the people who want to play internet tough guy at the villain of the week. People that weren't harmed and may have never see the creators before but want to join in a mob. Especially if they are actually innocent.

Then anyone can contact all of the coroners, who are public servants, in that area and ask "Did you have any suicide cases under the name of James Somerton in this time frame?" Suicides have to be ruled as such by a coroner so that it can be confirmed as not a murder, and anyone can contact a coroner's office. Then there is the whole fact he will have either been buried or cremated meaning all you have to do is then go through the grave and crematorium listings in the area for the time frame. It will take some effort and admin but anyone who actually wants to can at the very least confirm if he is dead.
