ruminating on the current neil gaiman stuff, cw transphobia, talk about rape/assault
"believe all victims" doesn't mean "blindly believe every story of victimization when there are some clear indications that there's some serious bullshit going on." i think some people reacting to this shit with gaiman are, strangely, being a little too... not optimistic, but not being realistic about the sorts of shit that conservative/right wing publications will do to push their agenda. they don't need to be accurate, empathetic, or correct. they don't even need to commit to or prove or stand behind what they publish. they just need to shove something into the public conversation that suits their agenda and gets the big reaction, and then if they need to do so later for legal reasons, they'll post a quiet retraction that nobody will read and won't ultimately matter
these people are incredibly predatory, and will happily seek out people with legitimate grievance to encourage them to frame their experiences in a way that fits their agenda. with gaiman (and tennant and sheen, for that matter) clearly being a TERF target for being vocally supportive of trans people, it feels relevant to bring up joanne here. joanne has legitimate trauma. she was raped by a man. she has PTSD and her fear of men is something that's real and deserves sensitivity -- but her relationship with TERFs has morphed that legitimate grievance into "the existence of trans women is rape" and a whole host of other wild shit. and i do think she believes all that! i do think her fear of trans women, her absolute conviction that all trans women are deceivers and their every action is predatory, is very real. and i don't think she started out that way, that fear and distortion of reality was the clear and obvious result of being radicalized by TERFs who flattered her, supported her when she felt isolated, and validated all of her fears so well that when they wanted to give her new ones, she readily adopted them
that's to say that i don't put any fucking stock in the right-wing outlets or the podcast that the gaiman accusations happened on, and i don't put it past them to dig into legit grievances -- that the relationships were volatile and emotional, or that he had them while married and wouldn't leave his wife, or that they ended in messy ways, as possible examples -- and poke and prod and revisit the details until the stories conveniently fit into the perspective they want
which they then (supposedly) sat on for months until dropping the podcast episode like a tactical nuke right when david tennant and michael sheen are actively beefing with the conservatives over their pet issue and taking down gaiman's reputation would muddy the conversation and make it easier than ever to turn it into their classic "trans people and their supporters are predators" routine
i'm saying this serves the TERF agenda too well for me to take anything at face value here
