Dammit
- The article pretty clearly describes multiple cases of outright rape.
  What are you talking about.
  
  It’s pretty blatant assault.
  
  No dude (I'm assuming you're a dude). If you read the vulture article, there's assault.
  
  New adage. The more vehemently some internet commenter tries to defend a rapist the more guilty they are.
The Vulture article delves deep into the potential whys. It appears he suffered serious abuse by his parents who were very prominent Scientologists, pretty much the leaders of the cult in the UK.
Then, as an adult, he refused any kind of therapy. Instead, he became an abuser himself, even going so far as to potentially traumatize his own son.
None of that excuses his behaviour. He's obviously very intelligent and his works show that he knew very well that what he did was evil and inexcusable. He wrote a chapter of Sandman about this exact thing! But in the end he just didn't care. Because he probably thinks he's rich, he's famous and the rules don't apply to him.
Kill your heroes
- If I ever run into them at Walmart I will.
That is so bad, but man I hope they don't cancel Sandman
- It was a Netflix series, of course they'll cancel it.
- I agree, not just because I enjoyed the show, but it seemed like it was a fantastic opportunity for many of the people that worked on it. Gaiman's shit behavior shouldn't spoil the hard work of the hundreds of people involved in the show.
- If they haven't already filmed it and done the effects, it's probably canceled. They might even shelve it anyway.
Jesus christ. Didnt he do Marvel 1610 or something?
