I’ve loved Walden’s previous work but this is unacceptable. It’s plagiarism, veering into fraud. Just because historians tell stories about real things that happened doesn’t mean you get to take those stories with essentially no credit to the person who did the hard work of piecing them together.
Show PostIt feels like this is the inevitable culmination of "hidden histories" and "untold stories" combined with "we can't footnote your work, that would be awkward for the reader." But at its core, it's just the result of an utter lack of respect for the labor and expertise of an entire field.
Show PostIm so exhausted by this pattern. Historians spend years in the archives to write detailed accounts of the past. Only for journalists, doctors, podcasters, and now cartoonists, to swoop in and get paid a lot of money to trot out the same work, "uncovering hidden histories" that are not at all hidden.
