Internet Historian Appreciation Thread - The best thing to come out of Austrailia since Mad Max (The original, obviously)

[ITK]

This comment section is extremely autistic. There's so much milk here.

Won't somebody PLEASE think of the journos???? buncha fags on this site now

 

[Absurdist Laughter]

Just cause Hbomb is a SoyFag doesn't change the fact that jacking other peoples work and pretending its yours (for profit) is scummy rat behavior

I've watched all versions of the IH cave video from the perspective of a piece of entertainment based on true events. I don't go into watching a Conjuring movie expecting accuracy of the people they are based on. I also do not really care what is being said in a script or where the words come from, because it doesn't matter. The only reason people percieve any ill will is because of the faggot's needless video while it was clear the IH channel and the parties involved worked out an agreement like adult companies. Then you have a scum sucker coming in to re-open wounds that were privately handled while only knowing half truths of the half truth. The other features in the video have objectively worse not because of the plagerism itself but how they handled being called out.

Internet Historian's team better take the SunnyV2 approach with this, because the amount of backlash caused by the retard is astounding.

He's worse than Hitler then!

If you can't refute a persons point and must resort to hyperbole involving nazis your a faggot. Your favorite youtuber is not your father and you do not have to defend them when they do something shitty.

This thread is going to end in several suicides and for once it's not the side with the 41%!

The realization that the guy who wrote the funny cave video was some journalist and not the funny accent australia man who will pat you on the head and call you a good little femboy is too much for some to take...

 

[ChonkyNeko]

this ih accusation is basically a non-issue because IH then went on to credit the og article in a re-upload
fuck off bomberfaggot

If I write an article on a real event and then someone else copies my article and pretends it's theirs. That is plagiarism, regardless of whether or not it's based on a real event.
Internet historian took that guys article and pretended its content was his, then they "hashed it out like adults" after he was legally threatened by the people he stole from. Changing as much of his video as he could so he could legally reupload his world of tanks sponsorship.
You can continue to try and frame this as just "sjw's seething over a nothingburger" but that doesn't change the fact that he objectively plagiarized somebody.
Trying to argue that plagiarism doesn't matter while also arguing that the vid isn't plagiarism at the same time just makes you look like a fanboy.
I think internet historian is funny but I also think taking other peoples works and only crediting them when they catch you is shitty behavior. Especially if what you took was so egregious you had to rewrite half your script to get your video back up.

is illuminaughti (or however you spell that fatty's name) also innocent
she did the same thing where she pasted someone else's work and put a link to it in the description while making it out like she only used it as a source

 

[KingFrampt]

If I write an article on a real event and then someone else copies my article

You're making it out like he stole the entire 1 hour 15 minute video, it was 10 minutes of the video

is illuminaughti (or however you spell that fatty's name) also innocent
she did the same thing where

No she's actually a lunatic

This is retarded, because this is not at all relatable. If you wrote an article and I copy pasted it, sure, plagiarism. If I animated it, got VA done for it, changed it up a bit, and added my jokes in, it's not plagiarism, even if not linking (originally) the source is a shitty thing to do. You can think IH is a massive fag for what he did, fine, but stop using dishonest comparisons.

I am a fan boy, that's you're problem. You assume you're talkin' to an intellectual. I will beligerantly deny the existence of a reality where Hbomber is in the right; because he's a massive pedo wigger faggot. I thought that was plainly obvious. Regardless, my opinion is the fan boys of Hbomber and IH are too fanatically and emotionally attached. Not to mention entitled.

The parties involved reached an agreement, which is why the video is back up. I take issue with the framing and approach Hbomber took to the controversy. First sandwiching IH drama right after Illuminati who has been shown to do similar underhanded tactics psychologically implanting the seed to make the same connections when talking about IH. Phrasing IH as being American right wing...when they are Aussie. It is very obvious that a former "4chan user" is attempting to throw a mountain under a bus and profit off the resulting devestation.

Some of you are either going for the edgy 2010 trolling "hehe I said the opposite of what I believe to cause anger in you xD" or you're actually retarded.

Read the article you're talking about. There's literally no humor, it reads like it's written by John Green or whoever wrote that Baking Alaska drama romance novel. The funny cave video is the part IH made.

only crediting them when they catch you is shitty behavior.

It is, but remember that this is a journalist. Do you believe that the journalist tried solving it like a normal person or went full tranny mode, striked the video right away and sent a passive aggressive email? When have you ever seen journalists communicating like normal people?

If I write an article on a real event and then someone else copies my article and pretends it's theirs.[...] Trying to argue that plagiarism doesn't matter while also arguing that the vid isn't plagiarism at the same time just makes you look like a fanboy.

IH did not put the article on his own website and claim it is an article he made. He did what Useful_Mistake said. You can argue it's stealing the dude's work without credit and using it in his own work, but plagiarism is a different can of worms.

Also, it literally does not matter when it comes to journalists. If he took it off some guy's blog I would have agreed, plagiarism is bad, but fuck journos. They're a big reason why this entire culture war bullshit is happening, why this tranny shit is so popular, who cares if anything bad happens to them?

 

[Ultrapenguin]

I think IH should have credited the person but that's about it.

Read the article you're talking about. There's literally no humor, it reads like it's written by John Green or whoever wrote that Baking Alaska drama romance novel. The funny cave video is the part IH made.

That almost seems like it specifically lends itself to the comedy, the original material is rather dry and serious and when it's juxtaposed with absurd voice acting/visuals that's where a lot of the entertainment value comes from.

Discovering that the original piece it was based on wasn't his changes the context of the video a little bit, but it doesn't really detract from it much. Personally I remain decidedly un-offended.

 

[Übertroon]

It takes a special kind of stupid to listen to breadtubers. They'll spend all day lambasting private property, then sperg out because you dared borrow a few passages from a glorified blog

 

[BirdUp]

IH should have said in the video that he didn't create the material he was narrating
leaving a link in the description as a "source" is disingenuous

 

[Sammich]

This is retarded, because this is not at all relatable. If you wrote an article and I copy pasted it, sure, plagiarism. If I animated it, got VA done for it, changed it up a bit, and added my jokes in, it's not plagiarism, even if not linking (originally) the source is a shitty thing to do. You can think IH is a massive fag for what he did, fine, but stop using dishonest comparisons.

IH should have given the guy credit, sure, that was rather shit of him to not. But if he really wanted to be an asshole about it, I think what he did would have been covered under fair use, if he wanted to fight it. Probably arguing a moot point now, but to hear this pedophile defending cunt bomberguy acting like he lifted the entire thing and just reread it is just bullshit.

 

[Jelli]

The main thrust is hbomerguy going after some gay youtuber. IH was just kicking to get people to agree in principle before going after the gay he actually cares about.

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

If you can't refute a persons point and must resort to hyperbole involving nazis your a faggot. Your favorite youtuber is not your father and you do not have to defend them when they do something shitty.

I hope you're pretending to be retarded, because if you're really retarded, I'm very sorry.

 

[LurkingLunk]

After watching the whole Hbomber video, all I am left with is the notion that it was as pointlessly meandering, snobbish, and moralizing as you could imagine. I went in blind, without knowing anything about who it was going to talk about, and it failed to get me invested in actually caring about any of the drama. I've never heard of the Illuminati chick outside of reading the name in the community happenings here, but anything said about the subject by him was so bland and milquetoast as to make me wonder if there is actual milk to read about her by someone who isn't insufferable. It became an apathy built on apathy, as he failed to make any real points that didn't sound pandering to some morals about any of the subjects. I just couldn't really find any reason to care, so they can grab their free plagiarism cash bags I guess? It has fuck all to do with me.

The only funny bits are him seething hard about IH and doing his best to smear him as some chud, and the mentions of the gay dudes dying of AIDs in 1990. Hbomb would probably disagree with those parts being funny, but hearing him make some incredibly cringey socialism jokes makes it very safe to disregard his opinion on humor.

The worst part of it is probably how Hbomb considers himself above it all, and even tries to denounce the drama side of youtube in what is essentially his own 4 hour drama video, even if he does try to spruce it up for a soapbox about integrity and honesty. It sort of reads as a pig in makeup, and comes off as disingenuous when he he says he would totes feel bad if he profited off of drama - therefore he'd be donating all of the ad revenue from the video to dozens of LGTVs hurt by some other LGTV stealing their words. Only I have zero doubts that the ad revenue on that video will be dwarfed by the ocean of patreon bucks he's receiving for working on videos like these. He will certainly have enough to buy both a new rental property and lots of plastic consumer knick-knacks by the size of his patreon credits, ad revenue would just be excessive. So overall it just comes off as virtue signaling in order to preach from the soapbox.

Anyways I'd rate the video a solid 2/10. Not awful enough to hate watch, not good enough to watch even at 2x speed. Skip the Hbomber video and just enjoy whatever seething retards comment as they drive engagement to IH's channel and boost his performance.

You guys are operating on a 7th graders understanding of plagiarism where you just control C control V an entire article into an English paper.
Using your logic I can make a movie "based" on a Brandon Sanderson book and as long as I rewrite the book in "my style" using a good chunk of his book as the script, then I can sell the movie without his permission, with a different name than the book, and without mentioning Sanderson at all until he threatens to sue me, and I'm forced to remake a third of my movie and put "based on the works of Brandon Sanderson" burred in the end credits.
Right at the beginning of the bomber video he shows an example of plagiarism where an author tried to pitch his book to a media company exec. The exec turned it down then made a tv show ripping off his book, and the executive lied and pretended he never met with the author in the first place.
