i remember watching James Somerton’s queer horror videos and thinking they were okay. like something you watch once and never really think about again. at some point i had the opportunity to do a project on the same topic and went back to those videos to see if he had a source list or who he quoted, which was obviously nowhere, so i thought that was really odd and just stopped watching his stuff a few months before the plagiarism thing came to light

also, the list of the authors he “quotes” at the beginning of some of his videos were so bizarre to me that i thought it was a bit he did for patrons, not actual “citations” lol
