<p>As mentioned above, "Video Games and the Choice to be Gay" was the first and only James Somerton video I have ever watched. I did not subscribe to Somerton's channel, nor did I have the time nor enough interest to watch any other Somerton's videos. No YouTubers I followed referenced Somerton's videos or were associated with him, and no one in my social media circles talked about him either. Therefore, after watching "Video Games and the Choice to be Gay" in November 2021, Somerton simply went off of my radar until his plagiarism scandal broke out in December 2023.</p>

<p>After the James Somerton's plagiarism scandal broke out, it was revealed that "Video Games and the Choice to be Gay" plagiarised a paragraph of Robert Grosso's article <a href="https://techraptor.net/gaming/features/queer-characters-in-gaming-brief-history">"Queer Characters in Gaming - A Brief History"</a> on TechRaptor and ripped off Verity Ritchie's (also known as verilybitchie) video essay <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZGkxUTbDqw">"Hοѡ Biѕeхυаlity Chaոɡeԁ Video Gaⅿes"</a>.</p>

<p>"Video Games and the Choice to be Gay" was not covered in Hbomberguy's "Plagiarism and You(Tube)" video, so I did not realise that Somerton's video essay about queer representation in video games was also largely built upon other queer creators' works without credit, until one day before I began to write this post, when I searched about the video myself and discovered the sources through the website <a href="https://tustin2121.github.io/James_Somerton_Transcripts/videos/TQNKEkrPEfI">James Somerton Transcripts</a>. This led to me watching Verity Ritchie's original video as well as listening to and reading their <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/james-somerton-3-94126743">Patreon post and podcast episode about Somerton ripping off their video</a>, realising that the main framework and talking points from Somerton's video was actually from Verity's video.</p>

<p>I felt guilty about giving Somerton credit for Verity's takes about queer representation in video games, although I still firmly stand by what I said about the importance of supporting indie queer developers and their work instead of relying on mainstream video games for queer representation. I was not aware of Verity when I discovered Somerton's video in 2021, but I became aware of Verity and their YouTube channel in early 2023, after discovering their <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBftW7FzOVI">"The Consumerist Dystopia of Harry Potter"</a> video, which I included and recommended in my <a href="/articles/anti-harry-potter-jk-rowling-masterlist/">Anti-Harry Potter and Anti-J. K. Rowling Masterlist</a>, so I recommend fellow queer gamers to check out Verity's "Hοѡ Biѕeхυаlity Chaոɡeԁ Video Gaⅿes" if you are interested in the topic of queer representation of video games.</p>

<p>The final push for me to write this post, was seeing Verity crediting the source of the gameplay footage featured in "Hοѡ Biѕeхυаlity Chaոɡeԁ Video Gaⅿes", as well as listening to them and their co-writer Ada Černoša talking about Somerton's lack of gameplay footage in "Video Games and the Choice to be Gay", doubting the gameplay footage in the video are his own, and that recording gameplay footage take time and effort. This made Somerton's usage of my video game footage without credit leave a more sour taste in my mouth, enough that I decided to, at last, talk about this and confirm that James Somerton had indeed used someone else's gameplay footage without credit or permission, with I being at least one of that someone else.</p>
|
||||
<p>I do not expect anything from writing this post. James Somerton has destroyed his own reputation and internet career at this point without my help, so I merely just want to get Somerton's uncredited usage of my video game footage off my chest after being hesitant to bring it up since 2021.</p>
