You would too if someone dropped a 4 hour h.bomb on you.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Imagining HBomb making a 4 hours video arguing Demon's Souls is the worst souls game as a combo criticism of myself and getting peeved.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 9 months ago

Still wouldn't watch it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

I don't take Hbomb very seriously, especially since he's said some cringe lib shit on Twitter. If Sean or Joel dunked on me though, I'm exiling myself to Oklahoma.

Technically it occured more than once, but considering Hbomber guy's following, that video he did about the situation had the most reach. Nearly 2 hours of his video was dedicated to that guy. And also prior to deleting his channel, it was discovered he had plagiarized youtuber "verilybitchie" video about bisexuality changing video games.

Brave Sir James ran away, bravely ran away away...

[–] [email protected] 49 points 9 months ago (2 children)

wait, did he actually die? was it from chugging panera lemonade

[–] [email protected] 36 points 9 months ago

Nah his death was purely spiritual

[–] [email protected] 36 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

he privated every video on his channel, purged everything else from it, and deleted all of his socials, including patreon and his patreon discord. my guess is he'll emerge from hibernation in a few months with a new channel with a "why I left the left" video, fully embracing how horny he is for nazis.

If I got taken down as thoroughly as he did I probably would too

[–] [email protected] 49 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Gonna have to start calling him Tsarbomberguy.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago

That's good

I was thinking about this. It depends on whether I was doing something wrong consciously. If I'd been owned, I'd fuck off forever. If I was enlightened on how I was being a piece of shit, I'd have to go look at a sunset, but I'd ultimately thank them for helping me to stop hurting others/get out of my own way/find my potential.

i mean it's not just that what he did was wrong, it's that basically the entire basis for his career was a lie and it doesn't look like he has the ability to make the kind of video his fans expect without ripping off smarter people.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I've pedantically tangled myself into a knot. I agree with you that he went through his successful career with lack of integrity and never had the capability of being the video maker he became via fraud.

What do you mean it's not just wrong? Is it super wrong?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

i mean that there are more practical reasons for him ending his youtube career beyond hits to his reputation or sense of self-esteem.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 9 months ago

I only watched the Todd in the Shadows video on him (it was shorter and I like Todd Shadows enough that I was interested to see something that unusual from him), and I was immediately rooting against the Somerton guy because they just seemed like a total fucking douch-er-ino.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 9 months ago (1 children)

just logged on and OOTL - who is this and what happened?

[–] [email protected] 49 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Who: James Somerton
What: Exposed for plagiarism in his content in an hbomberguy video.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

I don't care about plagiarism personally, but the other video is ridiculous. Some of the shit he says is nuts, I have no idea how I'd never heard of this guy before. Absolutely deranged fantasies presented as fact...

Plagiarism is an understatement. Every single word was stolen without credit, usually from small-time queer authors languishing in obscurity.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

And the few bits that he interjected on his own were basically only misogyny or being horny for nazis

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

This guy looks like if he listened to one second of dancehall ragga his central nervous system would dissolve like dust. If someone raised their voice at him for any reason he'd have to go to a special room and drink tea under a blanket. He has the Very Special Boy look that guarantees he wouldn't survive mushroom ego-death. I bet if you talked to him a good 10 minutes you could convince him solipsism was real. Level 1 UK grunt physiology, and you can even tell he's british by how translucent his skin looks

didn't expect to see live footage of an execution on hexbear today

That turtle neck alone is all i needed to see; 'pompous douche nozzle'

i also like it.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Seriously you look at all of them and it's literally just highlighting how insecure this guy is about his neck/chin (not body shaming, I can empathize there). It's like Tim Pool's beanie or something.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He looks good he just has bad glasses.

Theranos currently doesn't have a CEO.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 months ago

the coward's honor, stepping out of the room basically as quickly as possible

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

ngl that sweater is sick. he should just become a fashion youtuber. or like make videos about something he actually cares about instead of pretending to have smart thoughts about media for children.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

The sweater would slay on anyone else, absolutely

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Still using padded armor after the rapier nerf smdh my dick head.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

wait so did this guy kill himself because he was dunked on by a YouTuber?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Not physically, but he’s gone full scorched earth on his entire social media presence and will probably turn up in Uruguay as a three card monte guy five years down the line
