Sources for Somerton's Plagiarism from Hbomberguy's Video (as much as I could get)

I went back through Harry's video, focused entirely on the sources James Somerton pulled from in the hopes of creating as much of a comprehensive list as I could--though my Google-Fu is not very strong. I did however find something I thought was forever lost and that made me very happy--specifically the magazine Midlands Zone containing the column by Steven Spinks that Harry poignantly used as an illustration of gay erasure... while Somerton uses it to sound like HE is waxing remorseful about the very subject.

This is not a complete list, I'm sure. For one thing, I was only able to attempt to pull sources that Harry himself mentioned in the video. Surely there's so very much more out there. I expect there to be a great deal more internet archeology to unearth just how much writing and culture Somerton has stolen like he's the British Museum of Natural History but for gay people.

Harry created a convenient playlist of videos by these and other people he wants to bring to everyone's attention.

Please give them your support.

Midlands Zone Magazine - Column by Steven Spinks

After a great deal of searching, I found an archive of the "Midlands Zone" magazine, where you can read through past issues dating all the way back to February 2014. I have also found the issue from which Somerton took Spinks' poignant discussion of gay erasure: Overall archive Specific Issue - Pages 16-17

It will not allow you to download it, but you can read it exactly as it appeared in print form.

My best effort to find the exact book or article Somerton lifted from to be able to get attention to the original writers

I refrained from including certain sources.

First off only focusing on Somerton's work.

Secondly not including anything that might be visible enough to not require amplifying their voice (I cannot speak for all of those I have found links to, but journalism is frequently a thankless job).

Thirdly any source that is of a nature that is antithetical to the very existence of the queer community, such as the right-leaning source that didn't make it into Somerton's video, but Harry was able to identify as a source he had considered using.

If you feel I have missed a mentioned source--or you know of a source from material that was not covered in Harry's video--please do not hesitate to reblog with added details.

Please share this information far and wide, and please add to it if you find more material that can be positively identified and linked to the creator/writer.

Reblog this second

happy 10 year anniversary to fnaf!! into the pit is about the aftons :)

obviously not a 1 to 1 scenario but something about a father and son (notably, ones that look remarkably similar.) yes, they butt heads sometimes, but at the end of the day they love each other, really they do. then one day, something happens. the son isn't quite sure what, but what walked out of the pizzeria with him -- he knows this thing can't be his father. this is a monster -- but everyone else just sees dear old dad. and how could they not? he looks just like him, after all. still carries the same smile. is this another one of your pranks? it's not very funny to joke about this, mike.

the monster knows all of your routines. every nook and cranny in the house, like it's lived here for years. drives you to school, the pizza place, home. mom claims he wants to have breakfast with you, but he hasn't said a word to you in days, and when you enter the dining room his presence is suffocating. he's staring at you. the only sound you can focus on is his breathing. all you can manage is a shabby excuse before you rush out the front to go to school. you feel his stare until the door is shut behind you.

you always thought your dad was a little bit embarrassing, always hated how busy he was with work. now you miss the days he filled scrapbooks with dumb photos of all your accomplishments, or stayed up to watch a bad show with you. now, all you can do is think about the monster in your home. no one believes you. you start sneaking out at night. he starts locking doors. boarding up windows. placing cameras everywhere he can think to. you wouldn't put it past him to chase you out of the house and drag you back to bed himself.

you don't know if he'd ever hurt you, but the uncertainty alone is enough to keep you up at night.

the only difference is, mike can't do anything to fix it.

I felt like she needed both of her brothers.
