Y'all people always go "be (nerd) gay, do (nerd) crimes", but then a britbong makes a video whining about it and y'all suddenly forget about your favorite mantra (hexbear.net)

Plagiarizing much poorer queer authors while holding up a pretense of original research and further misinforming people when you speak off script because you don't actually do any research is bad. Dude could literally just not fuck over poorer authors writing articles on blogs and such and he'd still get plenty of money.

    I'm trying to articulate what is arguably an even softer point politically because it to me is a stronger indictment: He could remain a full-on content mill that is just profiting off of other people's work, but give them proper credit! He'd lose some of his personal mystique, but he'd still make a lot of money while still being incredibly lazy but without fucking those other authors over!

    It's settled then. I'm going to commission a Kitty Bobo vtuber model and start making videos where I just read out effort posts from Hexbear and pretend they're my own words. It's the perfect crime. 😼

    You know those AskReddit content mills? Literally if you just say "this is from the website Hexbear, the user is Alaskaball" [or whoever, but he does a bunch] it is no longer plagiarism and you still have a completely viable content mill, arguably more viable because you can slingshot around ideologically without question because you are transparent that it's other people's writing.
