@RNAi@hexbear.net you should probably add to the body of your post the context that this guy isn’t stealing from daily mail articles and corporate slop, hes stealing the work of queer people, some of whom died in obscurity most of whom are not well off

This is the bad kind of stealing

Sorry, the title is ironic, I gave for granted that everyone saw the video, or at least a sinopsis of it.

sinopsis

I had a chuckle thinking about a synopsis of a 4hr hbomb video delivered by the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

Sinopsis seems like a disease that a 19th century British dude would “theorize” about that was a special kind of sepsis that turns you Chinese.

He argued that the reason so many Americans joined up to fight in the western front was to get a glimpse of those shirtless ubermensch they’d be fighting against. Never mind that the Germans were getting really rough by the time the USA showed up in the western front and also most US soldiers were drafted, and also you couldn’t pick the front you’d fight in. And that the US bodybuilder movement comes from trying to create their own gorgeous muscular bodies to emulate the Germans.

He also said Americans didn’t get horny for Soviet men the same way because they all wore thick coats all the time. The Soviets. The world champions in broadcasting oiled up, muscular athletes doing feats of strength and dexterity.

I have photographic evidence to the contrary

Also reinforced the “asian men aren’t masculine” trope.

Also when questioned, the co-writer revealed that he just made all this up with no source.

Todd in the Shadows… A goddamn music critic also did a Somertin take down, more of a “Here are the facts he got straight up wrong” video. One of them was “Hitler didn’t kill Ernest Rohm because he was gay… It’s because he was fat!”

Is there like a 2 page precis? I don’t know who any of these people are. I know Hbomberguy exists but I have no context on what he does or why people listen to him. Like I need some kind of briefing, here, to even understand what kind of context to put the context in to when i get some context.

hbomberguy showed a lot of specific examples of blatant plagiarism from 4 or 5 very large youtube channels. They were basically just Googling topics every day, changing scripts/articles from “but” to “and” or “he went” to “he traveled” and then reading it off to B-roll they often also stole. Many of them were also just stealing entirely from one production, as in just recreating a documentary in its entirety. They were making hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars by stealing all this stuff. At that point it’s less of “some rando” and more like a substantial media operation ripping people off

The plagiarist stealing queer content was always getting compliments for great writing, and it turns out when they did a second pass on a script they got caught on, trying to change the words around a just a bit more, he was actually a dogshit writer

I enjoyed it. It’s rambling in terms of the overall thesis, but everything he says does have a purpose (that might not help the thesis but still means something).

It could have been a 30 minute expose, but instead, he pulled out a folder full of receipts and just started reading them verbatim into the camera.

That’s the thing for me, by the time it came around to something I might care about it’s already been 2 hours of shit I don’t care about that is only sort of related. By the time it was getting there I was already tuned out.

I’ve been laid up with sickness for three days and I still can’t talk myself in watching a 4-hour video.

As I was scrolling by, I read this as you saying you wouldn’t watch it simply because “I’ve been laid”, which, well, fair enough

Hmm, makes sense. I basically need to work 8 days straight with little sleep to put me in the headspace to watch a movie, so you may be onto something.
