noooooooo why am I seeing so much "it sucks that NG is a bad guy but [insert other influential, powerful, famous male here] would never"

what are you doing

why won't you learn??????

[seapiglet]

just want to bring this back again since I haven't seen it mentioned lately.

don't let this repulsive, abusive, manipulative, scumbag of a man get away with a single facet of his abhorrent actions.

and that includes every slimey, awful way he reacted to his victims coming forward.

oh look, another reason to absolutely detest this man

so, so glad he's doing the "autistics don't understand consent" routine

especially given how vulnerable autistic women and trans people are to grooming and assault

amazing how he only seems to have misunderstood the boundaries of young female fans, isn't it?

[seapiglet]

not impressed by people acting as if these gaiman "allegations" are brand new to them when they've been studiously ignoring what's been out there for MONTHS

[seapiglet]

why does it have to be something that directly benefits his victims?

the point is to cut ties with an abuser and given that this will completely fuck up the denouement to his precious story (which was really just shitting all over terry's decent writing anyway) he must be absolutely seething which is very satisfying to me, a hater

wow

wow

yes what we need to do is give this man MORE money! we should reward him for abuse just so you can get your fix of mid-tier (at best) old man yaoi

gomens fans try not to be complete shits for 5 seconds challenge (Impossible)

[seapiglet]

hate that gaiman will still profit from this in some way given that they're using his original script but interested to see what the new writers do with the material

obviously I've been very outspoken about disliking gaiman's writing for s2 so I'm hoping whoever they've got on board now can polish what they've been goven into something more coherent, less melodramatic, genuinely heartfelt? genuinely funny?

well aware I'm asking too much here but let's see

[seapiglet]

sometimes you read a headcanon so uniquely bad you can't even come up with a response, like they're just wrong in a way that hasn't even been invented yet

[seapiglet]

from ulorin vex on bluesky. not sure if these made their way here yet and hate trawling through the ga*man tag these days. it's all coming out now.

[seapiglet]

this is really fucking triggering to read and it only gets worse

the man is a monster

[seapiglet]

lmaoooo not the sentence tacked on at the end. shut the fuck up. please PLEASE shut the fuck up. just keep your self-pitying on discord or in the priv gc or something.

[seapiglet]

found on Bluesky: a Dreamwidth post with lots of coverage of the current situation with Neil Gaiman, for those who wish to keep up and keep informed

[seapiglet]

and, like clockwork, it's being dismissed because of the source. AGAIN.

I don't fucking care how you feel about the source. frankly, I don't give a shit if the women themselves were abhorrent terfs (not that there is any indication of that!!) because that still wouldn't somehow negate gaiman being a predatory piece of shit

I see this kind of response all the time from leftist men and it's enraging. they'll mock right wing women for being abuse victims or wish rape on them and act like they're doing an activism as if that helps in ANY way

as if left wing women, both cis and trans, and nb people are somehow unaffected by seeing abuse justified and dismissed for not being the perfect victim

I'm guessing the likelihood of any cis men following or stumbling across this blog is near zero but, just in case, STOP DOING THAT SHIT

YOU ARE NOT HELPING WOMEN AND QUEER PEOPLE

anyway, fuck gaiman

(I'll look for an alternative transcript in case anybody doesn't want to visit the original site)

There is now a fifth episode with stories from two women.

[seapiglet]

here's how your feminist, ally-to-all-minorities, Nice Guy king is playing it, tumblr!

hmmmm

quite a few of the comments I'm seeing defending gaiman seem to be coming from completely empty blogs and blogs that have been inactive for 10+ years

not suspicious at all!!

fuck's sake lmao

shout out to ga*man for managing to simultaneously be the victim of anti-israel(?) and terf plots though!! diverse king!!!

Where are all the 'it's a TERF conspiracy to make sure Labour doesn't win the UK elections' people now that a third victim has come forward?

Or is it only a conspiracy when the publication/journalist doesn't perfectly align with your political ideologies?

EDIT: This should probably go without saying but TERFS can also fuck off from this post as well.

God, the writing of Richard Madoc in that Sandman episode is just chilling now. A man who makes his name as a beloved writer and a feminist ally at the expense of the woman he spends years abusing. It seemed so cynically intelligent and well-observed at the time.
