Lore Lodge Decided NOT To Sue Me (lmao) 

Rule 1 of investigative journalism : If they sue you, dig deeper. Rule 2 of investigative journalism : Use the lawsuit to make them present information to you (and court) that proves your point. If the say defamation, fight on the facts on which they sue you for defamation. If their facts are bad, well there you go,. You were just reporting on real things. You (and the court) knows that because they showed it you you ;)

Aidan might not be able to cite his sources. But he does have a talent for not shutting up no matter what

Lol the Citations in the corner of the video during the beginning of each clip

Lore Lodge is plagiarising an apology as we speak

I want it known that I did not take those screenshots of Lore Lodge malding in the Discord. This is slander and I will be seeing you in court.

Apparently, he's also been arguing about this with random people on Reddit. I don't know where he finds the time.

APE WAR

At this point Tyler, any communication between me an you will be through my lawyer.

That tribute in 4 moons line and what came after was an immediate like from me 😂😂

Tyler needs to classify these videos as education because FUCK that’s a lot of information. Thanks Tyler!

I missed out on money in college. I should have charged my professors to look at my work cited pages apparently.

LOL, I work as an editor for pop culture news content that can barely be called journalism and we STILL have to cite the shit out of every source, so the fact that LL tried to argue with his full chest that historians don't do citations was WILD. Obviously creators don't want to be known as plagiarists and when people take it to the LL/James Somerton level of plagiarism there's kind of no saving it, but it's actually FINE to have someone point out that you didn't cite something and just say "oh my bad" and fix it. Realistically, everyone is going to repeat some information and not realize that they're doing it or not realize that they need to source it, which is exactly why actual professionals have at least one other pair of eyes to look over something and say "hey where are you getting this from" before you put it out into the world and present it like these are your own ideas. Also, clearly a lot of people don't scrutinize what they're watching on RU-vid or what they're consuming as content in general, but when you do scrutinize a lot of content, the actual value of citations becomes a lot more obvious because frankly, a lot of people, even those who present themselves as experts, don't necessarily understand what they're drawing their own content from and actually misrepresent or misinterpret their sources. But obviously if they don't cite their sources, the people consuming their content have no idea and can't actually check that for themselves even if they want to. It can happen completely unmaliciously too, I can't even count how many times I've had to send something back to a writer because oh oops, you cited a secondary source that actually misunderstood a primary source and made assumptions or extrapolated information based on that misunderstanding which you're now reiterating or worse, interpreting yourself even though the fundamental information you're basing your opinion on is incorrect. Learning to cite properly isn't just valuable because people deserve credit for their work, it also very unironically makes anyone much better at differentiating good sources from bad ones or figuring out that you're literally using bad facts (because shocker, plenty of people who don't know how to cite don't know how to research either and therefore are way more likely to repeat something that has no reliable primary source but has been repeated a million times over by other people who just heard it and regurgitated it too). Cannot believe that LL's sidekick shouted out channels like Wendover Productions as their reasoning behind not citing sources either, because holy shit those videos are like an hour straight of stated facts and super specific numbers and statistics and you're telling me that they don't explain where ANY of that is coming from?! Like... I'm glad he outed them but also, Jesus Christ.

At this point, then not sueing you is an admission of defeat because they know they don't have shit.

15 seconds into the video, I realize (with absolutely no evidence whatsoever) that Lore Lodge would probably self-plagiarize.

Is that opening from a real like, Mongol decree from somewhere?

Because he cant because his lawsuit would be baseless

Damn I was looking forward to a protracted legal battle 😢

Seeing this after lore lodge describe hes "very in depth research" about the killdozer video on the unsub podcast is funny as hell

I knew this long ago :P Cornered him in his comment section about it.

It is always nice to be reminded that I am still cooler than Lore Lodge 😎. Lore Lodge gives major lolcow vibes.

The Great Khan has spoken

I'll say it again: Blue-and-butternutted-in-his-cousin

Wonder if lol lodge think they can go back to biz as usual or if they'll start citing their sources now

Dude would have had to be a complete idiot to keep going down that road. He is 98% bigger than you, doing anything but ignoring you would be crazy and just invite a Streisand effect. Unless the accusation has serious criminal repercussions, it's stupid to give attention to a small creator going after you. ESPECIALLY if that small creator is 100% right like you are.

Lucky I did my nails today or I wouldn't have met the requirements to be here. Also: VOD Gang VOD Gang VOD Gang.

Aidan has animal like rage.

The most surprising thing about this to me is, his Fanbase Flatley does not care. I’ve seen people in his comments genuinely arguing that plagiarism is just not that big of a deal.

I swear, never once has Tyler's editors actually placed images when he's said "My editors will/are probably placing the evidence here," in any of the videos I've seen. I don't expect Tyler to rewatch hour+ long videos of himself to track this, but it's genuinely annoying as a viewing experience to never see the promised additional images. I do video editing, I know this shit isn't fucking hard. I wonder if he's aware that it's never added.

You really put the W in Westside with this exchange

Seems that something I say about myself is somewhat appropriate for you also... "I'm an ***hole. I don't necessarily want to be one, but I need to accept it as a part of who I am and monitor those tendencies. But, as an ***hole, I have a preferred target. And that, is other ***holes. To paraphrase Marv from Sin City... '***holes, you gotta love them... no matter what you do to them, you don't feel bad.'"

I enjoy the citing. It's a nice touch.

V O D G A N G

Shaolin shadow-boxing and the Wu-Tang sword style. If what you say is true, the Shaolin and the Wu-Tang could be dangerous...

(36:55) It's mostly correct, the more minor things regarding Ibid are 1. more and more editors hate using it and are ditching the citation style. This means Ibid. is being left in the dust anyway and should NOT be used. 2. It must be right after the same source. So if I cite a newspaper and continue to cite that newspaper 2-3 times I can just use Ibid. to show the reader it's the same source in the footnotes. If I cite the newspaper and then I cite an article, I cannot use Ibid. That being said, I may have misunderstood how you phrased your words.

Waiting for Tyler's editors to edit in screenshots of anything, ever. I can't help but feel that they may be being passive aggressive and demanding we (the viewers) go out and find the info ourselves...

You should be proud of those posts by Aiden.

Lol on Twitter he called you a breadtuber and said breadtubers just make videos about drama to make money

Well imagine my shock!!! 😳😳😳

for a second i thought that was jabroni mike in the thumbnail.

I REALLY want to know what history channel "blue and butternut" doesn't like because i bet i do like them.

I think Metokur would talk with you based on some of the shows he has gone on in the past. You should check out his tumblrisms series, he was so ahead of his time. He had a great video called double o dipshit that also predicted the intelligence agencies daydreaming about putting Trump in jail through the lens of one lonely operator. I'm not sure what the hell you'd argue with him about, but he could shill his hats. You know who is great? Jay Dyer. Brilliant about religion, history, politics, conspiracy stuff. He was around back in the IBS days, though he was a lot smarter than virtually everyone else. I'm not sure if he'd debate you about something, but you might ask him.

His content is still more entertaining than yours, and you will never make a living on this platform. You will never have a quarter of their audience.
