Neil Gaiman: Three Women Accuse Author of Sexual Assault

Semi_Hemi_Demigod , 1 hour ago

On the ethereal plane, Sir Pterry is standing with his head bowed.

“I thought I knew him…” he laments.

Death puts his hand on his shoulder and says “IT’S OKAY, I STILL KNOW HIM.”

Edit: Not sure why the link abstract says two. The article clearly says three.

One of my pastimes is comparing the article slug (the part of the web address that includes the title of said article) with what actually got published. It’s usually a first draft of the title, but sometimes it reveals corrections. …And sometimes you get to see someone saying the quiet parts out loud.

jesus fucking christ does everyone have to turn out to be a fucking asshole?

My reaction as well. At least Terry Pratchett left us too early but he is not touched by any of this shit.

I meant it as him and Gaiman being friends.

Damnit. This always sucks to hear but it sucks even more when it’s someone who’s work is (was) enjoyable.

The work can still be enjoyable - you can separate the art from the artist.

I dunno about him, but I have. I really like Sandman. American Gods was okay, but nothing that blew me away.

considers

Come to think of it, I’d probably enjoy a work coauthored by Neal Gaiman and JK Rowling.

I don’t enjoy supporting the artist even if the art is good and don’t buy into this argument. If you support the art, the artist is still making money off of it. Unless they are dead I guess…

It’s possible to enjoy the art without giving material support or publicity.

I choose to continue to enjoy the work of people who turned out to be shitheads from before learning that they are shitheads. Michael Jackson, Phil Anselmo, now Neil Gaiman (actually, last year for him). All people who created great art that I enjoy and whose future work I will not consume (for the ones that are still alive). To be clear, MJ is only before the allegations. Thriller still kicks ass.

You fucking dick head. Can’t you people just not assault women? Is it that fucking hard?

Edit: and I get these are just allegations - innocent until proven guilty… But like damn dude. 3 women?

solsangraal , 3 hours ago

if someone had to sign an NDA, then that’s pretty damn sketchy

sgibson5150 OP , 3 hours ago

Three more women for a total of five, the way I read it. Original allegations arrived last month.

I knew this was coming.
