Neil Gaiman does disgusting things 2025 Jan 13
This is a long Vulture article which details some of the disgusting things Neil Gaiman denies doing. Well, he doesn't deny doing them, he just denies that they were done without consent. Stuff too gross for me to want to quote here, this website which is a bastion of purity. But what the fuck. And it's hard to know what to do with news like this, yet another entry on the list of powerful people who aren't content with merely being offered sex, but need to take it from their fans and employees. Can we separate a creator from their creations? Should we even bother? But what about when that person's as influential as Gaiman is, being someone who in his genre has already had impact on the next generation of creators? Not to mention someone who championed himself as an exemplar of all the things he secretly wasn't?

As Ken Pontac says while evil boils in his eyes, "Meet your heroes."
