Anti Neil Gaiman - Blog Posts

Just a reminder that if you say anything along the lines of "support the content, not the creator" (there's an actual saying but my 12 am brain can't remembered it) only works if the creator is not making any money off of the content

You can say that about Homer and Greek mythology, bc Homer is dead and all related works are public domain

You can say that about Tolkein and Lewis, bc they're both dead and any products go towards their estate, obviously not the person

You CANNOT say that about JKR, bc she's still very much alive and involved with everything HP related. Even buying a butterbeer at Universal Studios gives her money (I'm not kidding. She gets a cut of anything HP)

You CANNOT say that about Neil Gaiman, bc not only is he alive, but he still makes money on anything he was ever a part of. Yes, he's no longer involved with the production of Good Omens and most companies have cut ties with him, but if you buy a copy of Coraline, or Sandman, or anything he has ever written, he is getting that money

Is that clear?

The fact that people are claiming that they won’t trust the allegations against Neil Gaiman because the author of the article is “TeRfy” is bullshit. People cry out “support victims” unless the supposedly wrong kind of person calls attention to it. Like fuck man just the age range between Gaiman and his victims is more than enough evidence for me

This stratospheric level of egoism is mindblowing and disturing to me.

As someone with diagnosed with PTSD, no, being deceived by an author you never met is not trauma. You can’t call every uncomfortable or painful experience trauma. You’re making the word lose impact and meaning.

"He violated us too" No. How tonedeaf can you be? How tactless? Making someone's else rape about you? No, you haven't been violated. He didn’t put his fucking hands on you. Those two experiences are not even remotely comparable, and the fact that you think they are is seriously worrying. You mentioned talking to your therapist about it— yeah, you really should.

"Time to grieve" no one died. The actual, real victims deserve to grieve the life and peace of mind they lost.

I'm not saying you can’t feel betrayed by an author you loved for a long time, but the least you could do is not make someone's else rape about you.
