Just in case anyone cares, Corey Pruitt (AKA TASK), one-time "rapper" and current "comics-creator" (@FreeWorldComic), is a flagrant plagiarist who bit entire songs and charged people for bitten verses just a few short years ago, and he never apologized.
Maybe don't platform him.
@thecosmicronin Normally I wouldn't expose someone's tweet, but since this is important:
"Task send homophobes and transphobes against some of my friends. He is ok with them as long as they support his ego. Slandering Ivy fans. And of course his famous agreement with EVS."
I feel like it's bare minimum
that if you get caught being the biggest plagiarist of the century
you shouldn't be allowed to have a kickstarter for your new comic.

Pruitt is now taking people's money on kickstarter for his writing projects, and everyone I try to inform about his plagiarism blocks me.
Chaz wrote the Complex article, and if you support Pruitt, you're undoing his good work.
In the last week of 2018 I see people on my timeline defending Task1ne and Joe Camel. This is really a bizarre year that's running out of things to be bizarre about.
Yet more articles about Corey Lakel Pruitt, the man you might know as TASK the Ol' Nerdy Bastard, being a heinous plagiarist.
How much biting must he do before we #DeplatformTASK?

When I try to inform the people platforming Pruitt that he's a notorious, prolific, unapologetic plagiarist, they block me.
When I provide proof in the way of national news articles, they block me.
We will only #DeplatformTASK if we care about plagiarism.
And I guess we don't.
It's unclear if anyone in the relevant communities even cares that Pruitt (AKA TASK) is a plagiarist of such note and renown.
But if anyone does care, this page will be here, with all his dirty history laid out to see.
#DeplatformTASK
If anyone wonders why this page is just starting up now, I assume it's because I'm the first person to put two and two together, and I only did so recently.
Surely if any of his current followers knew how bad a plagiarist he was, they wouldn't still support him.
#DeplatformTASK
I can't believe Pruitt's sorry when he still goes by TASK, still has the TaskMaster theme, still raps, still uses TASK vs. The World, hashtags StillWorthy...
He's not cutting ties, he's REVELING IN IT. DARING US to do something about it. So let's do something.
#DeplatformTASK
And this is how the most heinous plagiarist of this century is punished...
A successful kickstarter that rakes in four-and-a-half-thousand dollars, while Pruitt's artistic crimes are easily searchable online.
No more.
#DeplatformTASK
It keeps going and going... even Roqy Tyraid had to take him to task. In case you missed it: Pruitt (AKA TASK) is a flagrant and obscene plagiarist.
