Death Note AU where hbomberguy makes a five hour long video about youtuber Light Yagami that's initially completely unrelated to the murders (Light would probably plagiarize or have really unhinged right-wing political takes if he was on youtube)
but halfway through he reveals that while researching he stumbled upon evidence that Light might be behind the Kira murders, and then spends like fourty minutes explaining the concept of a shinigami, an hour explaining how he thinks Light used one to commit murders, and then another hour explaining Light's ideology and why the concept of criminals being inherently evil is flawed
He finishes the video by addressing Light directly and telling him that he (Hbomberguy) had his name legally changed before uploading the video, to something that only he knows, making it impossible for Light to kill him
THIS IS BLATANTLY UNTRUE.
Yagami Light may be a republican mysoginistic pro-cop, pro-genocide misanthropist with a god complex and whatever right-winger labels under the umbrella of murder and tyranny at his core.
But I VEHEMENTLY protest him being branded as a *spits* plagiarist.
Such blatant character assassination.
Light didn’t ace all his academics and became Japan’s top nerd student of the decade just to be labeled as a freakin plagiarist.
He’d throw all his perfectly organized 300+ sources and references with the fury of a hardcore academic perfectionist in ya face. He’ll skip a defamation lawsuit and go straight to sacrificing half of somebody else’s life span just to get ya full name.
This premise is absolutely false, flawed and faulty.
