Great new video on "the manosphere" from F.D. Signifier:

(I'm an hour in because it came out a bit earlier on Nebula)

Yo, this video is excellent. Love the focus on the money and how the grift doesn't just benefit the grifters, but the platform.

If you want to profit in a gold rush, sell shovels and all that.

Get bashed, platonist!

Sorry, my brain damage made me forget to cite my sources. It also made me forget that I forgot to cite my sources, so when people politely pointed out to me when I failed to do that I thought they were liars. The brain damage also made me forget to not incite harassment campaigns against people who called me out for plagiarism.

My favorite part of the apology is that his excuse for Telos not producing anything is not that it was a grift, but rather than Nick and him were really, really incompetent and had no idea what they were doing.

And then he keeps on repeating over and over that his dream is to make a movie, and that he apparently went to film school. Buddy, you have expensive cameras, you went to film school. Just make a movie. Its kind of really sad in a way, he has convinced himself that he wants to make movies when in reality what he actually wants is to pay people to make movies for him, but he has no money.

Jessie Gender's response to the Somerton apology says enough.
She does not need it. Even if it is sincere, there is nothing to trust about him, and he failed to apologize to almost everyone else regardless.

I'm personally waiting on Stephie Gender to weigh in.

He moved cities because he said he couldn't find actors for his first Telos movie, which is nuts because there's aspiring actors loving EVERYWHERE. They might not be amazing but you'll find people who are competent enough to be in your independant short film

I am painfully straight and don't pretend to understand anything about gay sexuality, but James Somerton looks like a lovely lovely lay. And he'd be smug about it too somehow.

i'd say what he actually wants is to be paid to make movies and then not pay the people that will make the movie for him

An annoying thing I notice Somerton keeps doing is roping Hbomb back into the whole thing. Like Hbomb presumably didn't put out the plagiarism video because he personally felt he deserved or wanted an apology from James, or because he wanted to become the arbiter of youtube plagiarism or anything: he did it because he saw an active injustice going on in the community and felt like he was in a position where he could call it out and hopefully help put a stop to it. But now it's all cheeky references to the plagiarism video in the title and "I'll monetize but donate all the money to hbomb to donate to my victims as he sees fit" and it's like motherfucker, if you actually feel you've learned a lesson then *you* track down the people you plagiarized from and *you* apologize/donate to them in restitution.

Heck, you don't even need aspiring actors, you just need like 3-4 friends willing to appear on-camera.

Then again it does not surprise me that James Somerton doesn't know 3-4 people who want to publicly associate with him

he moved cities because he couldn't find actors for his first Telos movie, but then he cancelled the first Telos movie because the city they moved away from was too integral as a setting to the plot.

Then he wrote a movie in the winter that required filming during the summer so he had to completely throw it away forever.

Yeah I don't know how James thinks anyone would buy this line. If he had memory issues his whole life, he would've dealt with them his whole life, which would've meant that when someone was like "hey, I think you may have basically taken what I said here" his first thought would've been "ah poo poo, I forgot to cite that, gently caress" because there would've been a lot of times something like that would've happened.


Wait... that was the brisket he cooked over a YEAR ago? When he said "remember" that wasn't "I did that again," it was referring to that being the piece of meat he's using now?

How did he not get fined?

that dude has like a line of sauces and products now, because of course once he became infamous/famous he became a culture war touchstone and people love buying products to own the libs

AFAIK he has nothing to do with it beyond slapping his face on them, so they’re presumably safe to eat at least
