Harris’s producer having to fucking scroll past multiple videos of James Somerton to get to actual original queer creators is like, heavy handed on the symbolism yeah

(fyi there’s a playlist on the video for the creators mentioned and more)

James Somerton sucks, obv, but one plus is that Hbomb's video highlighted the phenomenal queer creators from whom Somerton stole. I'm already in love with Shanspeare, Khadija Mbowe, Alexander Avila, Kaz Rowe. These are just the creators that appeal to me personally, but YouTube never even told me they existed. I doubt I'm the only one and I really hope the creators that were ripped off are seeing a boost in their views and subscribers.

I mean, clearly I'm enjoying watching someone get their comeuppance in real time, but I'm also supposed to be working on being a better person and blah blah whatever, so I'm trying to focus on the high road part of this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So James Somerton can fuck off forever. But I think the really amazing part of the story is the part where Hbomb showed how we can work together and lift each other up instead of only competing and stealing and tearing each other down. It's nice to see it.

In light of ..... recent events, I thought it best to remake that recommendations post I did quite a while back. This is a playlist put together by Hbomberguy and it has quite a number of excellent queer video essayists + some people James Somerton plagiarized. I wanted to add a few people to the list.

Jessie Gender - I cannot recommend her enough. She covers issues facing women as well as trans, nonbinary, and autistic people. She also discusses other marginalized communities (Got this info from her YouTube bio). She analyzes media through these lenses while remaining empathetic and often delivering a nuanced take. HOWEVER, that's not all. Jessie does insanely well researched videos about Sci-fi (shout out Star Trek) and other "geeky" topics. She's working on a short film right now so the channel has kinda flatlined. Go give her some views!

Yhara Zayd - I haven't watched them in a bit but Zayd does videos analyzing media, often through the lens of race. Special shout-out to their "The Day Rue 'Became' Black" vid! Their work is eloquent, well researched, and you can find their sources listed in the bio of vids.

Philosophy Tube - Do I even need to say anything??? Go check out the play she wrote, "The Prince." You can find a recording of it on Nebula. I haven't watched it yet but I plan to.

Anyway these creators (and the ones of the playlist) are only a few of the great people analyzing media, talking about queer history, and more. These lists don't even include the numerous writers from whom James stole from. They all deserve support and I hope they get it. If you have any more reccs (including articles), list them below!

Anyway, the latest hobby here is 'watching video essays by trans authors particularly but not exclusively if they have an essay on masculinity or gender and society'.

Recs:
