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)
