#stop plagiarizing

I was scrolling way back from the time I started Tumblr. I saw a post that I reblogged about one blog that stole others' content. I remembered they talked to the person, only to get blocked. I just block them but I was curious to see if that person still is there, they are. Their posts look similar to yours but I can't be right, it might look like others. If it doesn't, I take my mistakes and accusations wrong. I apologise.
Here others with proofs

open the link then click example 1 & 2
omg!! i’ve had some people telling me that, that account has been copying me and my style of making posts, even copying tweets from my twitter! it’s wrong and to see that they’ve been doing this for years to many people is so ridiculous, they just keep finding accounts to copy off of and it’s not right. those are other people’s words and thoughts and stealing them and acting as if they are your own just for some likes and reblogs is just wrong ! i hope if anyone of you come across that account and you see stolen content, you won’t support them.
thank you for letting me know, i appreciate it <3

ya’ll.
I’m just gonna say this and then leave it at that.
don’t plagiarize.
it’s not fair to put someone else in the place to call you out for blatantly stealing their ideas or stories. especially if you plan on attempting to make money off of something that was offered to you FOR FREE.
it’s not fair to guilt trip someone about “all the hard work” you put into it when in reality, the hard work was done for you.
the story was created, the characters, the plot, everything was laid out for you and all you had to do was spit out a regurgitated version of the same story, slap your name on it and call it your own.
it’s not fair.
it is not fair.
(I’m not talking about writers who use the same trope, or the same AU, or the same names for kids.)

Hi! I was just curious about plagiarism, um, I wanted to start writting stories on tumblr and also have some drafts saved, but seeing how people can be so disrespectful towards someone who is dedicated towards their writing, would I regret posting here?
Hello!
Finding out that one of my fics was plagiarized and that the person never apologized and is still posting other people's works had made me want to stop posting. The thing is, writing is an escape for me. I believe it's the same for others, and it's a shame that people can be so disrespectful and steal stories you've worked so hard to put out there.
Many of my fics contain some elements of my life—things I've gone through/experienced. No matter how hard we try to protect our work, there will always be someone who doesn't care and will steal/plagiarize someone else's work. For the first time since it happened to me, I posted a story last night, and it felt okay to do it.
I always keep records of everything I write, including dates. Everything on my page is mine, and I can prove it. They can't say the same, which makes me feel better.
I'm afraid I can't give you an answer about whether or not you’ll regret posting on this site. But I can say that I have no regrets about posting here. I enjoy sharing my stories and interacting with my readers and fellow writers. I've made some friends this way, which is one of the main reasons I don't regret it.
I’ve been feeling a bit unmotivated, but eventually I’ll feel better and post more because:
1. i’ve got stories to finish and I don’t want to let my readers down.
2. also, fu*k plagiarizers 🤷🏻‍♀️♥️

Things I've seen tumblr memeing about James Somerton doing à la "How did no one see how bigoted he was!" as if those things haven't been a significant part of tumblr culture for over a decade :
Presenting untrue and bordering on conspiratorial versions of (queer or otherwise marginalised) history without any sources
Completely disregarding and disrespecting any expertise on socio-cultural topics/humanities and distrusting academics and historians (incl. acting as if no academics or historians could be queer or marginalised)
Downplaying the role misogyny played in the historical oppression of queer women and concluding that queer men must have been more oppressed than queer women
Bi women are, at best, not as queer as "real" queer ppl, and at worst, simply equivalent to straight women
Despite nominal trans inclusivity, transmasculine ppl are functionally women when convenient (combined with the above, bi transmascs are functionally straight women)
Despite nominal trans inclusivity (bis), shamelessly attacking, threatening and actively endangering any trans woman who questions them or smth they find important (often by unfairly presenting her as violent or as a threat)
Having absolutely fucking wild and reductive takes about ace ppl, the oppression they face and their place in the queer community
Stating that marriage equality is an assimilationist fight while completely ignoring its direct roots in the horrifying consequences of the AIDS crisis for partners of ppl who died of AIDS
Praising western media creators from the past for queer coding even under censure and in the same breath condemning current non western media creators for being homophobic bc their representation isn't explicit enough
Blaming China for all existing homophobic censoring in western media
Assuming all queer media would be better told by western creators and by western standards
Only out queer ppl get to tell queer stories
Heavily criticising almost all queer media created by women or ppl they see as such (see above points about trans ppl) or involving/starring a significant amount of women for any perceived or real amount of "problematicness", but fawning over and praising and negating criticism of queer media created by and starring mostly or even functionally exclusively men (even when it could be argued that, you know, not involving/seriously sidelining women is a pretty clear example of misogyny which should probably be considered "problematic")
And I'm probably forgetting stuff or there's stuff I have internalised myself and don't recognise as an issue
Like idk but I feel like the takeaway from Hbomberguy and Toddintheshadow's videos should maybe be "be aware of such patterns in your communities bc they definitely exist" and not "this guy is uniquely awful" and I feel like a lot of the discussion I've seen surrounding this has been severely failing at that. Most ppl who've spent any significant amount of time on tumblr prob either have internalised at least one of those thought patterns, have had to de-internalise them, or have had to be extremely vigilant to not internalise them (which is done by, you know, seeking out other sources, which also seemed like an important takeaway from the videos)

Honestly, the most shocking part of the plagiarism accusations is not even the plagiarism itself. I knew people plagiarized stuff, even if I didn't know who. The most shocking part is sheer lack of opinions.
I don't understand. You are interested enough by a subject that you read so much material to plagiarize, but for some reason, during this entire process, you do not form A Thought? Not a single one? I have opinions about the shit the people in front of me in the plane are talking about! I can not imagine actively consuming a significant amount of content and not having three times as many opinions!!! What is your brain! Are you a lizard??? What the heck is going on up there?? Do you lack the joy of Pondering and Considering and Creating????? I kinda just thought those were inherent human traits!

Opening with a parallel to 2001: A Space Odyssey is not only very funny for Barbie but also I think it carries the message of how female directors don't receive the same amount respect for their work male directors like Stanley Kubrick get from the offset. Like I can't name a single female director with the same sort of filmbro cult reverence Kubrick has. (Barbie touches on this again with the Godfather joke too). But also making that statement while premiering the same day as Oppenheimer, mainly hyped because of Christopher Nolan, a male director who has a bad track record with female characters and has said cult following really makes it stronger.

in light of recent events, here’s something we may often forget:
You can be a queer person and ALSO BE A PIECE OF SHIT.
Queerness (and/or any other minority status for that matter) does not exempt you from contracting Being a Shitty Person Disease. There are so many good queer people out there and you should support them instead of shitwads like James Somerton.
That is all :)

once again someone is stealing my work and posting elsewhere. thanks @msbigredmachine for letting me know!
apparently this wattpad user (main-event1) has stolen from me, Ada, @theninthwonder and @visionarymode. smh.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
here's the the thing, y'all: if you know me, you know i am 100% happy to help you write if you're struggling with getting creative. i'll give you prompts, i'll brainstorm with you, i'll even proofread and edit your work!
but what i won't do is accept laziness and thievery. i've said time and time again, will authors' ideas overlap? yes! is that stealing? no!
did you write a story after getting inspired reading someone else's? cool, just credit them! or did you copy and paste portions of their work, or just the whole ass story, and pass it off as your own? not cool and fuck you!
i will ONLY ever post on tumblr but now i'm making wattpad, ao3, and other accounts to keep an eye on this bullshit. so if you see work that looks like mine or anyone else's and it's not on tumblr, please let me know.
cuz remember: i'm very nice! but i will bite.

hbomb's blast of james somerton really makes me think back to other older youtubers who have been doing their good work, performing critical research and analyses into niche fields who then had their work plagiarized from their videos and henceforth wanted to stop making content.
yeah and also they got pushback from the internet saying the degree of plagiarism they'd experienced is a made up problem.
this is a sideways post.

While I wasn't familiar with any of the players in the four hour plagiarism YouTube video (besides the Sherlock Is Garbage and Here's Why guy), coincidentally a blog post came out today about a book full of plagiarism within the TTRPG scene. And in this case I was familar with the plagiarizing author. I followed her on Twitter for a while (her personal account seems to be gone now) and while she could be... acerbic is one way to put it, shit-stirring is another, she had some insightful posts. Somebody doesn't need to be nice to have a point. This is disappointing.

In terms of this story, it is good to know that @otomeanimemanga-fandom-writer is my second Profile where in 2021 posted my own works that had not received much visibility.

This is not even everything. There are at least three more of these. Total plagiarism. Even the GIF of those posts is taken directly from the original. And they probably didn't know that my "main blog" is this big. Probably they just deliberately targeted a small blog so that this wouldn't become such a big deal. This really says a lot about their morals.
And if that's not enough. Nope.
They still had to take @silversparkz art and post it on their own account and still admit that it is not their doing. They didn't even tag the original artist on it. And a mere mention is definitely not enough.

That is really shameless and gross.
