James Somerton would be the kind of guy to say he's gonna kill himself over Xbox text chat and then roleplay as his mom finding his body just to try and make the guy who was beating him in Call of Duty feel bad.

If we found out that Twomad was dead a day after, I find it hard to believe he is dead with no form of confirmation a week after it supposedly happened. I'm sure we'd hear him missing at this point if he was.

Something important to note that many people seem to be forgetting: This was never just about plagiarism. Somerton was also a bully himself, someone who would use victimhood and lies to unleash his own communities onto others, among other really quite nasty behaviour. If it was just about plagiarism, he never would have received such a vociferous backlash against him.
Also, Hbomber only made a few posts regarding Somerton after the original video and then let the matter drop. Claims by some, such as Chud Logic, that Hbomber targeted Somerton relentlessly are simply lies. CL's video on this subject was utter trash.

HE'S NOT DEAD HE POSTED ON HIS HORNY ACCOUNT LMAO

[seanwilson]

Somerton tryna say that 'you holding me accountable over very clearly stealing my content made me kill yourself' is like when abusive boyfriends threaten to kill themselves when the girl finally gets sick of it and leaves.

This is more manipulation from Somerton. Dude is sick.

[MilkMyManUdder]

I’ve heard a rumour that he actually is dead, and that the writing on his tombstone is copied from the tombstone of another far more talented dead gay writer

[leader_hamlet]

To be fair with Illuminaughty, she was in a controversy well before the Hbomberguy video, so it probably just added on to her situation.

[TheMisanthropist]

Wild to me that James is a proven pathological liar and yet people are still willing to blindly believe he "self-ended" with not only 0 evidence, but also some kind of apparent "dead man's switch" on his social media accounts. The internet truly is the world's largest collection of idiots.

[franciscofranco]

The way that Sommerton guy blatantly plagiarized was freaking wild lmfao. Like the way he presented and regurgitated the plagiarized works in such a confident and uppity sounding way.

[thomaslance]

I personally think it was a manipulation tactic by the dude. That's the best way to derail criticism: fake an ending...

[cassielcruzchavolla]

I really hope James Somerton is OK, but if he really is dead, I really don't think it is HBomberGuy's fault. It'd be because he wasn't able to deal with the consequences of his own actions.

[medea]

Illuminaughti's downfall started long before the hbomber video, thanks to her treatment of her friends, colleagues & employees.... it was her "sorry, not sorry" video that killed her channel, where she broadcast an ex-employee's mental health struggles to her large audience and tried to use it as an excuse for her own abhorrent behaviour. Frankly, when you're talking about a woman who just tried to foreclose on someone's home out of pure spite, plagiarism is the _least_ shitty thing Blair has done.

[BIayne]

I have doubts he died.
I think he's just baiting sympathy.

He wants people to cry out "No James! How could you!"

And then he can return and say "I tried to unalive myself, but I was saved- now I have a new lease on life!"

[kingofthebis]

Apparently he was posting nudes on an alt when this drama was going down and everyone thought he was dead

[novamarpo]

All I remember is that one day, he deleted all his videos, released an apology, and I unsubscribed. I didn’t know what was happening, but all these videos I’d planned to watch were suddenly gone, so I didn’t have a reason to stay subbed

[Andre_APM]

Oh boy were we not ready for the true follow up to this question

[maxwell]

The fact that he didn’t even want to send the money directly to the people he stole from and instead intended to have hbomberguy do it for him is wild to me

[ThatGhillieGuy]

Strange to hear Metokur being acknowledged by GFS
It tickles me

[SugaMot]

I like how you refer to Jessie Gender as "Gender" as though it is her actual last name
