Neil Gaiman, my thoughts and my love for good omens

I already said something about all this deal with Neil Gaiman yesterday in another blog. But I still have Things To Say, so here it comes (with links to all the info):

Here is the article (thank you @procrastiel)

Here is a link to the podcasts for free (thank you @queermarzipan)

Here is the Xitter post with the accusations podcast thingy (thank you @embracing-the-ineffable)

Here is the transcript of the first podcast episode.

The Main Thing I Have To Say:

We need to separate the author from his work (and with this I’m not speaking only about Neil Gaiman). While we might not agree with some things about the author's life or thoughts, that doesn't mean we can not keep enjoying their work, as long as that work is not morally unacceptable, obviously. Let’s take the example of one of my favorite tv shows of all time (other than good omens): Buffy The Vampire Slayer (and with this I’m showing my age here, ahem). Buffy is a magnificent show, a wonderful exponent of feminism (strong female protagonist and secondary characters), diversity (one of the main characters is a lesbian), critical thinking, death, love, inner strength, battling your own demons… As we all know, accusations of harassment against Joss Wheddon appeared in 2020 and a lot of his work was left behind. I agree that knowing that the creator of something you love is an abuser breaks your heart. But that doesn’t mean that you have to stop loving that show, that it stops being a great work of art or that you should feel bad for still liking it. Buffy the vampire slayer is still one of my favorite shows and I still rewatch it from time to time (not on loop as I do with good omens, but that’s another problem). And why? Simply because in that show a lot of very talented people worked very hard to make it great, not just Joss Wheddon. And I appreciate it even more now knowing that the actresses and actors (and rest of the crew)  in the series didn’t have as good a time filming it as they should have. 

My take on this story:

I’ve already said that my first impulse is always to side with the victims in these cases, because they rarely lie and the accusations tend to be proven true in the end. In this particular case, for the time being, I’m waiting for developments, as the information that has transpired is fishy, to say the least. I’m not defending Neil Gaiman either, mind you. Maybe tomorrow we will find another 20 people accusing him of abuse. I don’t know him nor pretend to know what he’s done in his life. For the time being, as I said yesterday, this looks to me like consensual sex between consenting adults. That shouldn’t be news to anyone, even if the practices in themselves are not your kind of kink. It’s not on to have sex with someone who is working for you, of course, but still in this particular case that’s not exactly what’s happened. The woman in question (Scarlett) was a friend of the family, not strictly a worker. They already had a friendship relationship before turning it into a sexual relationship and a working relationship on top of that. With this I’m only trying to say that it doesn’t look like she felt forced to have sex with him in order to keep her job and she has said that the sex was consensual. The other victim has also said that even if she didn’t particularly enjoy the sex it was also consensual. 

It looks like both victims were pretty young when the relationships took place. It's true that younger people can have problems when it comes to place boundaries, and an older or more experienced partner could take advantage of that. It is also true that later in life, when that person is more experienced or has had time to think about things, they can think about what they did and feel uncomfortable with it, even though it didn’t feel wrong in the heat of the moment and they said nothing then. But, as far as I know, that's not sexual assault.

This looks to me as something that’s been designed to hurt Neil Gaiman’s public image. Maybe he’ll come out of it without any criminal charges, as he has already offered his help to the New Zealand police and they have refused to interrogate him for the time being, apparently because of lack of proof yet. But his public image has been tainted, not only because of the accusations, but because anyone who has their sexual life exposed and discussed publicly suffers a great deal of humiliation, even more so if their sexual practices are not exactly mainstream. With this I’m not implying that BDSM or any other kink is wrong, as long as it is being played by consenting adults. No judgment here, everyone has their own kink, and I don’t care as long as they don’t harm anyone (or if they want to be lightly harmed).

Keep also in mind that one is innocent until proven guilty and in this case there is not a lot of proof yet and the place the news is coming from is suspicious, to say the least. Wait for developments (and see).

Conclusion

So keep loving good omens, I know I still do, keep enjoying it, writing fanfic, drawing amazing art, writing metas and discussing about it. Because this show is still a brilliant show, in which a lot of very talented people worked very hard to make it the wonderful work of art that it still is and we shouldn’t dismiss all that work because someone wants to hurt one of the authors.

Noah should NOT have to apologize for having an infection. Ive said it already and I'll say it again. If he just continues it'll get worse and no shows or new songs any time soon.

out of his control and he NEED REST AND RECOVERY.

You should be ashamed of yourselves for complaining about it and/or putting so much pressure and criticism on Noah or the Band as a whole for something he has pushed past and possibly made worse becuase he pushed himself. Like how fucking dare you. Noah, both Nicks and Jolly perform BEYOND their limits to give only the best at their shows. I get that no one wants their concert to be canceled but have consideration for the people who are putting on the show ESPECIALLY when it comes to artists who are in the genre of metal because those vocals are FAR from easy.

Noah or anyone close to the band I really do Hope that Noah recovers and experiences better days along with the whole band, and their staff. They deserve and have the right to rest and recover.

beloved sad elves, Roka (left) and my PC Haven (right)

Just two old friends who managed to reconnect through a murder, a possession, a necromantic soul-crime, and an extraplanar god replacement! One of my Haven arts got a random wave of notes and it really motivated me to draw him again 🐝

Can you believe that there’s some bitch ass entitled idiots out there complaining about Bad Omens not being able to perform because of Noah’s sinus infection?

SINUS INFECTION

imagine having that and singing at the same time all night. that’s not right. Noah needs plenty of rest and some so called fans are complaining about it.

Maybe learn some manners and respect for others before going outside assholes

Sorry I needed to rant to someone, I hope you (and the Bad Omens guys, especially you Noah, I’m looking at you 🫵) have a nice week

🧍🏽‍♀️🧍🏽‍♀️🧍🏽‍♀️

Stupid ass ungrateful bitches. I hope their pillow is hot asl, and someone slashes their tires. Fucking suck it the fuck up cuz if Noah fucks up his voice or make the infection worse then we won’t have shows or new songs in the near future. If you don’t have patience then WTF are you doing my guy 🤷🏻‍♀️

People are fucking stupid and don’t think. On top of that he has a cough so unless you wanna hear coughing and straight vocals and see him struggle idk what the fuck yall expecting.

Like I know you mfs aren’t complaining about a SINGER who has A SINUS INFECTION. 🧍🏽‍♀️if you can’t understand or be empathetic oh well go cry about it I guess.

And I hope YOU🫵🏼 and Noah and the rest of the band have a great day and much needed rest and recovery damn it
