Yeah, that's not too surprising given the strong allegations against Neil Gaiman. While I enjoyed Dead Boy Detectives for what it was, I don't particularly want to watch or read anything Gaiman has a hand with now.
I just wonder how Sandman and Good Omens will be handled. I can't imagine either show being scrapped at this point given the fact that both have been in production for so long, though I would be shocked if they were renewed for additional seasons.
Can we, for once, separate the art from the artist? It is possible to enjoy something created by an absolute bastard without endorsing their shitty behavior. Lots of people play Call of Cthulhu without endorsing eugenics. Or Mission Impossible without supporting Scientology. Can I still watch Emma knowing Gwyneth Paltrow sells vagina rocks to gullible women and the movie was produced by Harvey Weinstein? Absolutely. It's a gem.
Stop 👏 Cancelling 👏 Shows 👏 Because 👏 One 👏 Person 👏 Is 👏 A👏 Cunt👏
Of course, if it sucked, that's different
Edit: the main creative force continuing to profit from production/distribution is a fair point. There's nuance to be had here
If Gaiman could be separated, that might be okay, but I don’t want to buy his shit anymore. I don’t want to support projects that make him rich. I don’t even like having his books in my house now. Gross.
"But I want my fun thing! Why can't we just pretend this person didn't force himself on these vulnerable people? This slightly INCONVENIENCES me!!!!"
STOP 👏 Canceling 👏 shows 👏 because 👏 the 👏 main 👏 creative👏 force 👏 behind 👏 it 👏 who 👏 will 👏 profit 👏 most from 👏 its 👏 success 👏 is 👏 abusing 👏 women 👏
If Gaiman wasn't still alive getting rich off his art, then maybe. But while they're still alive, I'd rather not celebrate or consume the art created by people like Polanski, Weinstein, Rowling, and Gaiman.
