    Plagiarizing much poorer queer authors while holding up a pretense of original research and further misinforming people when you speak off script because you don’t actually do any research is bad. Dude could literally just not fuck over poorer authors writing articles on blogs and such and he’d still get plenty of money.

      Exactly. Making stacks off other people’s work is antithetical of the whole leftie wave we are all on. We are suppose to be openly collaborating, sharing, exchanging, coordinating, all that sort of cool stuff together. Not just private making bank and saying “I did it all myself because I"m very uniquely intelligent”

        I’m trying to articulate what is arguably an even softer point politically because it to me is a stronger indictment: He could remain a full-on content mill that is just profiting off of other people’s work, but give them proper credit! He’d lose some of his personal mystique, but he’d still make a lot of money while still being incredibly lazy but without fucking those other authors over!
