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

[–] DayOfDoom@hexbear.net 49 points 11 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.

[–] DayOfDoom@hexbear.net 38 points 11 months ago

Still wouldn't watch it.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 12 points 11 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...

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 49 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 36 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 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.

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 36 points 11 months ago

Nah his death was purely spiritual

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

[–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 49 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Gonna have to start calling him Tsarbomberguy.

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 21 points 11 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.

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 4 points 11 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?

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 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.

[–] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 38 points 11 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.

[–] Grimble@hexbear.net 37 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago

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

[–] the_itsb@hexbear.net 37 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Xette@hexbear.net 49 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

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

[–] chickentendrils@hexbear.net 30 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 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...

[–] iie@hexbear.net 66 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Orannis62@hexbear.net 14 points 11 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:

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

[–] TheSpectreOfGay@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago (2 children)
[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago

i also like it.

[–] The_Walkening@hexbear.net 20 points 11 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.

[–] regul@hexbear.net 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He looks good he just has bad glasses.

[–] Magician@hexbear.net 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Theranos currently doesn't have a CEO.

[–] MorelaakIsBack@hexbear.net 27 points 11 months ago

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

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 16 points 11 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.

[–] Grimble@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

The sweater would slay on anyone else, absolutely

[–] xXthrowawayXx@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

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

[–] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 2 points 11 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
