There Is No Safe Word: How the best-selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman hid the darkest parts of himself for decades.

How the best-selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman hid the darkest parts of himself for decades.

Warning, this story is really horrific and will be heartbreaking for any fans of his, but Neil Gaiman is a sadistic [not in the BDSM sense] sexual predator with a predilection for very young women.

Welp, I guess if I still want to read any of his books, there will probably be a ton of them at the thrift store

  Enjoying the art while the shitheel artist doesn't profit: Priceless
  When you want an artist to benefit from their creative works, support them directly. For everything else, there's piracy
  
  I dunno. Pirating it is still giving them attention. Talking about it, bringing them up, giving them relevance. You're paying for it with mental space. But when you straight up shun them, they wither away.
  Like the great Terry Pratchett (rip), I see them like Small Gods: you give them power when you believe they exist.
  
  GNU Terry Pratchett
  I don't think I would introduce someone to NG's work if they were unfamiliar with him. So in that sense, yes, talking about them gives them relevance. However, i disagree that pirating in some way benefits the artist. Promotion does.
  Where I do see an alignment with Sir Terry is from Reaper Man. Until the person's works come to a finish, they continue to live. The thing is, will they live on loved, like Terry Pratchett, or hated, like Jimmy Saville. I didn't believe in hell. But I think, particularly for an artist or entertainer, the knowledge that after you die your memory will be hated, well, that's a living hell of it's own for a certain type of person. I genuinely hope Harvey Weinstein the rapist is one of those people.
  But back to the point. I'm not paying anything in mental energy if I watch Sandman again. If NG is a cunt, it doesn't change the fact that Morpheus, Lord of the Dreaming, is a BAMF and I'll watch the shit out of his show
  
  You people cry shitheel with so little substantiating evidence.
  
  15 accusations, voicemails of him setting up hush money payments, NDAs, none of this points to lacking merit. 1 woman, yeah it could be false or misleading. 15? Either this is very very likely to be true, or someone with tons of money has convinced a huge swath of real people in his life and not total strangers to publicly destroy him in a conspiracy that would be on the scale of a military operation. How much money would it take for you to knowingly lie about an innocent person you babysat for, who, if this isn't true, is lovely to know by all professional accounts. What kind of dollar figure would that take? Would you be willing to do this without possessing the money already? Would you demand that in advance? Who would contact you to get you into this conspiracy? Certainly not the benefactor. How would they know you wouldn't flip on them in a heartbeat? Or simply out them to begin because you're not a horrible person. 15 times. Successfully. That's what this requires. People who are known to have worked for him. That's you're pool. That's a very shallow pool. 15 successful payoffs with no deserters or whistleblowers? Accusing someone of a crime isn't fruitful. You don't get fame or money out of this, particularly if you have 15 victims on your side sharing the supposed limelight and potential pay day. And why if that's all they wanted, why would they go further than blackmail? They were already getting paid off. More women came out after the first 5? More? 10 people were like oh, they are getting 1/5th of the spotlight. I want that. I'll get 1/15th of a spotlight! All I have to do is ruin the life of the rich guy paying me off right now. It makes NO sense.
  
  I actually never met Neil Gaiman, or the people making the accusations, or the person who wrote the article. How about you?
  
  Is your bar that you have to meet the victim to believe them?
  
  Actually yes. Before I condemn somebody I insist upon meeting the fellow, interviewing the witnesses and seeing the evidence.
  
  With what expertise and training? Do we all have to wait until big_fat_fluffy has concluded his investigations before we can trust that any criminal activity has occurred?
  
  Yea, the legal systems has slowed to a crawl with this new policy
  
  FUCK OFF TROLL
  
  You're a moron.
  
  Do you have to meet the meteorologist and check his data and model to believe their weather forecast? Do you have to meet every single politician, scientist, news reporter, just everyone, to believe any news at all?
  
  If I'm going to revile somebody, yes.
  
  You're THIS ridiculous? OK. Utterly pointless. Next time lead with ''I'm insane and don't believe anything or anyone unless I've personally met them myself'' save everyone some time.

  ETA: man I'm glad i responded as i did, the poster I was replying to is clearly a troll.
  
  Is this you? What is your evidence that everyone does what you claim they do?
  
  What?
  
  You are arguing that you can't know things other people tell you. So how do you know that everyone fakes it? Did everyone tell you? Every single person? Are they all telling the truth?
  
  It's just weak evidence. Hearsay.
  
  That's literally what you're arguing against believing in this thread.
  I guess it's different when you do it.
  
  Your leap of logic is rather tenuous. Can you rephrase?
  
  No it isn't. You just don't like the criticism. You're fine believing what you call hearsay when it suits you.
  
  I'm really not understanding your argument
