"Sorry lads, had to get some shit done, couldn't really be arsed, did a bit o' plagiarisin' - got caught. Fair fucks, made myself look a right twat, eh."
I would honestly respect " I might do it again" because at least that's honest if you say you will never do it again I'm going to be questioning you a little bit
Like the time Shia Labeouf tried to plagiarized Daniel Clowes, got called out for it and apologized, then proceeded to plagiarize Clowes AGAIN and then apologized through skywriting. This is not even mentioning the fact his apology was ALSO PLAGIARIZED. If he wasn’t accused of doing so many other bad things I would love him so much for his constant BS.
I’m ADHD too and I swear I have a sharper memory for many things than most people I’ve known. It’s frustrating to have a reputation as having ‘a bad memory’ just because I don’t have google calendar alerts built into my brain like everyone everyone else seems to; especially when I don’t get to call them out on having a bad memory when they are capable of completely forgetting the mere existence of entire books or movies that _they recommended to me_ .
@@leejerrett8268 that guy thinks ADHD is like that disease from Memento. Worse case scenario with ADHD you forget to buy eggs at the grocery store or pay your water bill on time XD
@@albertogomes167 ‘That tree’ has a name: Madame Maxime. The woman is sensitive enough about her height already without people calling her a ‘tree’ just because she happens to be tall.
he really is incapable of logging off. I really almost respect his refusal to give up his established brand and just get a real job offline where nobody knows what a weird little freak he is
@@therealgooseman2358he also made a TikTok account where he masked his voice with AI at first, but then eventually just filmed himself anyway. It’s so weird, it’s like he has this urge to always have an online presence in some way even if it make him look way worse.
No joke he actually tried to use that excuse in one of his apologies. Like “I couldn’t be the voice of everyone so I plagiarised from the voices in those communities”
It’s hilarious to me how apology videos ALWAYS follow the same points. Never really admit your wrongdoing, make yourself look like the victim, push the blame onto others, etc. Like no one on this platform ever learns from their peers’ stupidity
The funniest thing about the "memory issues" is that he's saying he just genuinely thought those ideas were his after "forgetting" where they came from. That kind of makes him sound even more insane right? Like I can understand forgetting a specific source but forgetting it to the point that you still remember the info but can't even remember that the info DIDN'T COME FROM YOUR OWN HEAD is ridiculous.
@@faraway9003 He copied and pasted entire chapters out of books and expects us to believe his 'memory issues' meant after a few days he looked at those copied sections and thought "Yeah, I wrote that. I knew all that information with no research. This totally sounds like my writing style." If his memory is that bad he would be in a hospital being told to remember to breathe.
How do people still hire this guy outside the internet if he has “memory issues” that stems from a “head injury since he was a child”? That is illegal, right?
Love the head injury excuse. Should just have said, "it would have been hard work to not plagiarize and cite sources, and I simply didn't want to do hard work." Would have been a quite relatable explanation!
people like him who are simply incapable of feeling shame, and have endless stamina to disingenuously calculate the statements they think they should make to appear remorseful, meanwhile it's just part of another strategy to worm their way back to the thing they've had confiscated, well I just don't like people like that. quite unreasonable.
How does someone who writes for a living not know what he actually wrote and what someone else wrote. One would think he’d be aware of his own writing style.
so Im taking it as some guy decided to take it upon himself to lecture people so he could feel like a good person, only to steal content from the group hes playing [x] savior for, and then he tried to come up with a myriad of excuses for it for no one to buy it.
Exactly. He 'wrote' RU-vid video essays talking about gay representation in pop culture, until it was discovered and broadcast that most of his 'scripts' were just stolen word for word from books and blog posts written by other gay authors. In his defence he claimed he had ADHD, Depression, and was hospitalised for suicidal tendencies, and then when that didn't work he sent out a 'if you are reading this I have taken my own life' post on Twitter and stopped posting on any of his social media to make it look like he killed himself- But he immediately created a new Twitter account and posted pictures of his balls whilst trying to hook up with gay guys (although it turned out later the pictures of his taint and balls were stolen from Google images.) He was caught when he videoed his face with a Twitter filter to disguise himself while he again talked about gay issues, but it was clearly obviously him. He was also caught arguing with people about himself on his new anonymous Twitter account claiming he'd done nothing wrong as no one had been hurt and it was all an overreaction. It was a glorious 6 month train wreck that kept on giving.
@@henrynelson9301 I can't remember which video it was one of the multiple hour long video essays the guy does It's a shame too because I liked him and was able to ignore him inserting personal political beliefs into his videos until he said that, it's the reason I stopped watching him
"tried to be a voice for the lgbt community" It's worth nothing that of the little original writing that made it into Somerton's videos, most of it just twisted the stolen writing to make a jab at women or trans people.
“Most of it just twisted the stolen writing to make a jab at women or trans people” Based. He might’ve stolen everything, but atleast he tried to improve the writing.
*[ You have been charged with plagiarism ]* James: "I'm so sorry!😢 I'm a disgusting shit stain! Please pity me!" Stav: "Well I wanted to make something super gay, and those people were the perfect candidates."
At one point you should either say "f**ck yeah I stole everything, kek, what u guys gonna do about it?" and embrace the hate, or just not return to an online audience at all and move on to another thing.
"I wouldn't want to talk to me either" And yet here you are yapping. "Probably stems from my recently diagnosed ADHD but I don't know if I'm willing to say that" And yet there you are, saying exactly that. Bruh, if you got this far in life without an ADHD diagnosis then clearly it hasn't affected you enough to be identified by either you or any professionals that you've come into contact with so it can't be that severe.
That's really not true at all, people can be diagnosed with conditions like ADHD at any point in their life. That it goes undiagnosed for so long doesn't make it any less severe. The symptoms are just as real and debilitating even if they haven't been officially recognised
@@nickchambers3935 If your ADHD is so severe that you cannot tell whether you wrote something yourself or if it's someone else's wording then you aren't going to be able to function in school, let alone being able to function in the real world as an adult. Unless he forgets his wallet and leaves it in a public place at least once a day, his ADHD is not on the level that he cannot distinguish between his own words and the words that someone else has written. The degree of impairment he's trying to use as an excuse is bordering on something you'd expect to see in a person with a serious TBI - at which point to think that he got to the age he has before a therapist suggests that he might have ADHD is effectively an impossibility. Go and ask the people with ADHD in your life and see if they would be able to tell the difference between their own wording and someone else's, even if they can't remember writing the thing. "People can be diagnosed with a condition like ADHD at any point in their life." Nowhere did I say that wasn't the case. Congrats on missing the point though.
