Somerton's twitter was just recently deactivated after his suicide note went live (the note was supposed to go live post-death, according to the text) so i'm suspecting he's alive

also Coffin is a grifter who knows the majority of people won't agree with their takes, they're trying to get those on the fringe. And I can see they achieved his goal of going slightly viral now and people are posting about their fake asian girlfriend story again

Literally his version of being cancelled is "has to get a normal person's job." Again, I hope he hasn't killed himself, but if he did I'm not going to grieve him.

That Coffin tweet got over 100 likes. Which is an order of magnitude more than their normal tweets. This is going to get driven into the ground hard by them.

There's no diversity, they're all the same body type, just closer to the average American/human in weight and having a stomach. Even then I really don't think you have have tits and rear end like that in real life, and if you'd like to prove me wrong PM me immediately.

I am hearing that on his deathbed James Somerton received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now she looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

It looks like news of Somerton has been trending around Twitter for more than half a day, and it’s pretty telling that nobody who knows him in real life has reached out to do a health check just in case they have to deal with him. Everyone just waiting for him to eventually pop back up of his own free will.

he made a bunch of popular videos about gay representation in media that people realized later was just stealing words from other people. If posts here were monetized it'd be like if I posted

Hbomberguy, well known speedrunner and annual YouTube maker, did a three hour long video on plagiarism with Somertons' plagiarism being the end. He then donated the earnings from the video to the people that James stole from, including a number of smaller LGBTQIA YouTubers, as well as writers. It resulted in James having multiple not-apology apology videos after he tried to sent it or blame it on his writing partner. It wasn't the first time his theft got pointed out, but it's definitely the biggest media.

Basically he's a homosexual plagiarist who hates women and jerks it to fascists.

His apologies make it seem like he's never been held accountable for anything in the past and isnt entirely capable of understanding the nature of what he did.

Honestly it makes sense for a marketer. He really, really needed a very gentle hand walking him through every bit.

A few days ago I clicked a random video from my recommendations. It turned out to be James Somerton with a name change (James of Telos). I watched about a minute of it out of morbid curiosity. It almost felt like some passive-aggressive bit - it was a fairly standard Somerton video, just with citations at the bottom of the screen for things like the Bob's Burgers Wikipedia page.

It might even have been one of his old videos. He put a bunch (all?) of them back up.
