reddit garbage[edit]

Don't wanna point fingers but it looks a whole heck of a lot like a bunch of people on a socialist reddit have a specific beef with Bomb and told their people to go edit this page to say he's banned from their page and then repeat their exact version of a bad thing he did and apologised for over a year ago — Unsigned, by: 87.101.92.78 / talk

I mean, they're allowed to do that. Left beef is a thing, circular firing squad and all. ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 21:14, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
I don't think it's a circular firing squad when people have legitimate grievances to air. Regardless of this specific situation, people shouldn't get a pass just because they're in the same political field as you.Tower151617Coda (talk) 02:13, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
Just throwing my two cents in here, but rape apology is clearly the wrong word here. Since he's actually being accused of not believing the victim. Which is a very different thing. For this and also the thing with calling him an extremist, (for not liking capitalism?) the page does look biased at the moment. 2001:56A:71BA:6800:DC8:BEF8:F741:7223 (talk) 04:52, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Should we add a section about his Plagiarism video and its aftermath?[edit]

His video has had a pretty significant impact on the Youtube landscape as a whole, exposed two widely known creators (Internet Historian and James Somerton) for plagiarizing, and caused a large feud between Hbomb's and IH's fanbases, with IH's even going as far as making up several lies about Harris as far as I'm aware.

Probably. The video had a unique impact. Chillpilled (talk) 19:40, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
Yes, we should definitely cover this, but some people are currently kicking up dust over covering "Internet drama" on RW, so fair warning that anything you add – no matter how well-written and sourced – is likely to be arbitrarily and permanently chucked in the bin without any discussion. Noodles (talk) 19:57, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
I never quite understood why some are so against putting so-called 'Internet Drama;' Youtuber Drama is Gen Z and Gen Alpha's Celebrity Feuds, so I don't understand why people are so against mentioning such cases (within reason, of course). TheOneAndOnlyCirrusMan (talk) 20:41, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
Don't forget how any substantive points you raise will be buried in a flood of PRATTs. Carthage (talk) 09:34, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
I don't quite get what you're saying here TheOneAndOnlyCirrusMan (talk) 16:44, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
They're referencing a recent dispute on a draft that was proposed for creation, feel free to mostly ignore that I guess. Hbomb was worth a page before the whole plagiarism video for a plethora of reasons. Chillpilled (talk) 03:03, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
