blametruthproject YT ripping off Marble Hornets!
INFO

Very new here, ettiquette may indeed be flawed.

I have a problem that I am sure many if not most here might like to know about. It's the problem that a YouTube famous kid from gaming decided to blatantly rip off Marble Hornets to make a 'real' creepypasta.

From story line, editing, masked stalkers, figures just in frame unnoticed, 'creepy response channel' that is exactly like totheark, etc... It's obvious to see that Anthony (Blame Truth's real name) used Marble Hornets ideas to make his own creepypasta, but is assuring all his subs that it is 'real' & not an homage to Marble Hornets & other online cp's.

He has been caught by many and they have posted response videos actally showing him & his friends on their own facebook pages wearing the stalker masks, & confronted about Marble Hornets. He simply deleted the FB pages, any tweets about it & runs with an iron fist over the comments deleting all that bring the above facts up.

He's a kid that got into YouTube, made money making video game how to's, but his view count is shrinking. He thought up a good way to get it back & has. Problem is that he is lying & ripping off Troy's ideas without at the very least letting his subs know where he got the source material. I've tried to call him out & educated people, what else to do?

Sorry for this being my first post, just a lurker that was driven to post because of what I see as an injustice to Marble Hornets & it's creators. I would leave links for his channel, but am dubious to give him the views that he so very much wants.

Location: I'm lost, let's ask that bald, tall, faceless guy in a business suit.

I was going to comment something relevant here, but then I forgot.

Maybe because he's just a damn kid. After all, you could say that TribeTwelve also "copyed" MH (I don't count EHM as copy because they are more an ARG than a series). After all, they have the same distortion effects, the same "waldo effect" of Slendy in the background, the same "Oh, I just created this YT channel for this purpose but better if I use it to show how this paranormal entity with it's correlative helper (TTA, Masky, HABIT, the Observer, or whoever) are stalking me!".

Anyway, I think it's just another on the list... Buuuut, without showing us who he is (I mean, leaving his YT channel or whatever) and the "copyed" creepypastas he made, I can't really judge him just with what you say...

EDIT: I found his channel. He's a douchbag, or however it spells. I don't see it as a BIG problem. Just comment stuff in his videos like "Hey, do you know Marble Hornets?", and if he deletes the comments, just make a video showing some scenes of MH and saying how he copied it. Or even better, just ignore that ass.

EDIT 2: The second line we ever see from this guy is "I've could have misplaced my camera". Geez. Jay's not herp derp anymore.

And by the way, my current status is "doubtful" of this guy's series. I've seen little of it, although. I'm currently watching.

I'm going to start a Slenderman series completely different from the others

In which a guy with a camera follows Slenderman around to examine his day-to-day life

Then Slenderman notices someone filming him, so he freaks out and starts a second youtube channel with recordings of being recorded

Then in the finale you find out everyone was dead the whole time

First of all, yeah, after watching the whole series that's the same conclution I have arrived. So yeah, no trouble about them.
Second, ThinSuit, I allways treated you with respect, so if you wanna tell me to fuck me don't expect me to treat you like you deserve anymore. That's all, I don't want a discussion here.
And third, I don't follow The Office, so would you be so kind to explain me the joke? Thanks.

I looked at the few videos that BlameTruth has that seem relevant [it's about 8 out of 50, most of the videos are gaming-related from the looks of it, not my cup of tea] and so far I don't see how they are Slendy-related at all. [I'm on the third video so far]
Ah, wait. There's a separate channel.
Also, if you look at the Chaotic Fiction board... there's a WHOLE FORUM of Slenderman related vlogs. He's a PD character, just like the books written on vampires. I don't quite understand where you're coming from with this...

His series, if you actually watch the videos, has nothing to do with Slenderman, Marble Hornets, or anything even supernatural, and in no way is it copying anything. Recordings 7 is a perfect example of how this is an original series; its about stalkers, murderers even, most likely from Goat Farm Road. TwibeTwelve, EverymanHybrid, etc are more ripoffs than Recordings which has an entirely original plot.

The only thing that is the same is the channel leaving responses, except in this instance, they are the main antagonists. But most ARGs use this as a way to tell the story better; look at mydadstapes as an example.

What's with all the hate nowadays? Why can't people just sit back and enjoy something instead of trolling and making false accusations for no reason?

EDIT: Here's a vid from the series to show you the OP is full of it. Not similar in the slightest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc8kaIJIbpg

Ummm, just to clarify, TT and EMH have split off completly from MH, yeah, they were "rip-offs" in the begining, but (as Slyfoxhound has said) "They took a few ideas from [MarbleHornets], and improved upon it." most of the stuff they got from MH was stuff i would have come up with if i had never seen any slendy ARG/ARMs [(X) for slendy's symbol, paranoia, recording yourself, a proxy/TTA to screw up the playing field]

Also in COMPLETLY unrelated news, I've fallen in love with Noah from TT. Masky, you better step up!
