While HBomberGuy always starts off his videos as “don’t attack this person.” Realistically his fans always seem to show up and bash on the person he’s exposing or attacking.
This is a problem with internet culture in general, tbh. If anything, hbomb is one of the good guys out there that is pretty careful about how he talks about these things.
He’s kind of being a bully.
Nah. What I noticed about hbomb is that he generally avoids talking about people’s appearances, and avoids judging folks for who they are as people. He also tries to give people the benefit of the doubt (including the writer for Somerton’s channel, which… idk, not sure how the writer could have not noticed all the plagerism but whatever).
Basically, Hbomberguy focused on this guys actions and words. It didn’t feel like bullying at all. It would be different if this was a small creator and/or if this dude was doing it for free. But, that’s not the case; Somerton was making money plagiarizing other people’s work and got lots of subscribers for it.
Somertons channel was about queer issues. I’m sure he’s at least somewhat prepared for online harassment or he wouldn’t have chosen to be a content “creator” on that topic. Doing shitty things on the internet draws heat, too, and it feels somewhat earned this time. Wish people were nicer online overall but hbomb did nothing wrong calling this guy out.
TL;DR, talking about someone else’s bad (and public) behavior isn’t bullying, as long as you’re not picking on some lil guy.
