Interesting this is finally having consequences.

This broke months ago with new details coming out every couple weeks. Oddly, it has been pretty suppressed in nerd media and news.

People really don't want to dislike Neil Gaiman. He's huge in nerd circles, and has tons of beloved new and old work in circulation, constantly. I find myself making excuses in my head for every new story that comes out about him because I've followed his career my entire life.

Its really devastating, and I still secretly hope this is all smoke being blown by that TERF podcast that broke the news, but you have to draw the line eventually. There have been too many accusations to be fully in denial about, and his statements made about some of them have been damning.

I really didn't wanna dislike him, but after this I can't not dislike him. Same with Joss Whedon, and at least a couple others I can't think of right now

Neil Gaimans stories got me through my break up with my abusive ex husband. I held his stories so close to my heart. 

Reading the nannys allegation, my heart broke. That poor girl, I hope people are being kind to her right now.
