<p>It has been five months since Hbomberguy released his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDp3cB5fHXQ">"Plagiarism and You(Tube)"</a> video essay on 2 December 2023, which <a href="https://trending.knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/whats-up-with-hbomberguy-setting-off-a-youtube-plagiarism-scandal-the-internet-historian-and-james-somerton-controversies-explained">set off a YouTube plagiarism scandal</a>, with another YouTuber <a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/hbomberguy-vs-james-somerton-plagiarism-scandal">James Somerton</a> being the main focus of Hbomberguy's video essay. I do not write this post to recap or rehash the entire James Somerton debacle. Instead, I want to talk about something personal related to one of James Somerton's videos — <strong>James Somerton had used one of my video game footage in one of his videos without crediting me or asking for my permission</strong>.</p>
|
||||
<p>On 5 November 2021, James Somerton released a video essay on his YouTube channel titled "Video Games and the Choice to be Gay". As of this writing, the video has been made private, but Somerton's videos have been <a href="https://archive.org/details/james-somerton-youtube-2023-12-03">archived on the Internet Archive</a>, so you can still watch "Video Games and the Choice to be Gay" directly <a href="https://dn720001.ca.archive.org/0/items/james-somerton-youtube-2023-12-03/20211105%20TQNKEkrPEfI%20Video%20Games%20and%20the%20Choice%20to%20be%20Gay.mp4">on the Internet Archive</a>. Alternately, you can watch the video through one of the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230000000000*/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQNKEkrPEfI">Wayback Machine snapshots</a>.</p>
|
||||
<p>I first discovered "Video Games and the Choice to be Gay" through a <cite>Dragon Age</cite> fan blog on Tumblr shortly after the video was published. The video piqued my interest because LGBTQ+ representation in video games is relevant to me as a queer, non-binary lesbian gamer, and the video games discussed in Somerton's video included <cite>Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic</cite>, <cite>Dragon Age</cite> and <cite>Mass Effect</cite>, which was also relevant to me since I used to be a huge fan of BioWare games. As a result, "Video Games and the Choice to be Gay" ended up being the first and only James Somerton video I have actually watched.</p>
|
||||
<p>Before finished watching it, one thing from "Video Games and the Choice to be Gay" that caught my attention was when Somerton talked about Juhani from <cite>Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic</cite>, who was the very first confirmed gay and lesbian character from both BioWare games and the entire <cite>Star Wars</cite> franchise, including the old Expended Universe, the <cite>Knights of the Old Republic</cite> (<cite>KotOR</cite>) footage shown on screen in the video included one of my <cite>KotOR</cite> footage about Juhani and her romance with the female player character.</p>
|
||||
<p>The clip from Somerton's video at the timestamp from 12:09 to 12:13 was actually from my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFQDmmRUx4E">5 March 2016 video footage of Juhani's love confession</a> with the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbHl0ODFBR2pJLURxcXNxcWI3ZXRPaFgycFhLUXxBQ3Jtc0tudjNVQ0ctakdDM3YxYVB5eEt2Umo3Q2tLR2prQ2JMOWRlSDNjUnB1RFMzdU53LW1YX0dfRG84d1JnRjMzMHBKdG1VWl81VFlxNEkycm5DajZfLXNCQ3FnWHRWem80VXVDZ0ZwM09iLXdVdHF4ejFBWQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fdeadlystream.com%2Ffiles%2Ffile%2F772-juhani-romance-enhancement%2F&v=oFQDmmRUx4E">Juhani Romance Enhancement mod</a>, specifically at the timestamp <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFQDmmRUx4E&t=10s">0:10</a> to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFQDmmRUx4E&t=16s">0:16</a>.</p>

<p>Here is a comparison between the clips from my original footage and Somerton's video respectively, proving the clip from Somerton's video was originally from my footage:</p>

Furthermore, there are not many videos about Juhani's romance out there, so the player character's appearance, which can vary depending on how the player customises their character in the character creator or with mods, in Somerton's video only stood out to me even more. My video footage was part of my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5z8DZr8LSLHZkdhBxGadvvaHlolKa-Vd">Juhani romance and conversation video series</a>, to compliment my <a href="/shrines/starwarskotor/guides/kotor-juhani-romance-guide/">Juhani romance guide</a>, which I am still proud to say is <em>the</em> most comprehensive guide about Juhani's romance on the internet.</p>
