    They’re still allegations correct? What happened to innocent until proven guilty? If he is convicted, there will be punishments. Destroying a person’s legacy before due process needs to stop.

      Lol. The Netflix marketing department isn’t a courthouse. Deal with it.

      This would be a salient point if Gaiman was being thrown in prison. Any business entity he has dealings with is absolutely free to say “we don’t want to be associated with someone who has been accused.”

      If it were one allegation then sure, but there are over 5 allegations of people that have been confirmed to be close to him and from what I remember Gaiman basically confirmed he slept with his caretaker on her first day (he claimed it was consensual but she explained in thorough detail that he took advantage of her). Read up on the stories, they’re morbid.

        I’ve apparently been living under a rock and hadn’t heard about this. He’s a predator, my god. How sad for the women he assaulted, and how disappointing for his fans.

      It is difficult. In some ways some things are more important than their creators, but also, if someone is a shit person, and you can avoid enriching them further and allowing them to continue to be shit. I’m just fine with that. I can still read and enjoy my sandman graphic novels if I feel the need. I can still enjoy and appreciate the beauty of them knowing he’s not getting more money or a pass for being a piece of shit human

      Be careful, don’t you know that you aren’t allowed to enjoy things made by bad people?

      Don’t mind me, I’ll be over here with American Gods, Good Omens, and the Harry Potter books. Not enjoying them one bit. Because I’m a good person who believes good things and only supports good people.

      More seriously, I’ll try to buy any future copies of his stuff used, but I’m not going to sweat it. There are far more things I purchase and use on a daily basis with far worse people and power structures behind them. Not going to worry about a single author.

        Just going to be annoying discussing anything I read online without ppl chiming in about how the author sucks, basically forced to talk about his work in fringe communities that support the author too much

        I agree once art has been put out there it’s no longer just owned by the artist. If they are a Dbag just means I can still their art guilt free. Note this only goes for books, paintings and such where it’s a single artist. I try my best not to fuck over second AD just becase a writer is shit head.
