No fucks. I still want to read the Sandman books and check out that and the Good Omens and American Gods series, but not with new purchases or streaming.
Damn right. I had his picture on my classroom wall. Tore that right down. Primary rule I tell my students: "Don't be a dick." Well, we know where Gaiman stands now.
Amanda was absolutely *devastated* when that went down and would not tell us (patreon) anything. We just knew something heinous had gone down. So yeah, fuck that guy.
Ehhhhh I think wilfully blind but not a procurer. I only say that based on the Aotearoa reports. She straightened up in a hurry when the truth blew up in her face.
She groomed that poor woman in NZ to feel lucky just to be in her orbit and then got her to do her favors of increasing value… with the favors then extending to servicing her husband’s sexual violence. Fuck her.
At 44 your idol did not pay a woman half her age proper wages, so Amanda kept the victim at an edge of homelessness. Amanda abused the victim economically, and then merrily sent her to Neil.
Amanda is Ghislaine Maxwell type female. Only she wrote a song about it to exploit the victim some more.
Was she devastated when she exploited an emotionally vulnerable young fan to babysit for her without paying her, and exposed her to harm from Neil? I’m sure she is devastated now that her complicity and her own exploitation has been made public.
I enjoy her work but to say I am a fan of Amanda herself? Not so much. I was on her patreon for a long time though, and she is his victim too. The not paying people is a BIG issue I have with her! Esp in ANZ a very poor country!
He was paraded around as a progressive that fought for women rights. Seems like there are a lot of these types in Hollywood and art. And he ruined Dr who on top of that
I hate to regard #metoo as an “era,” insinuating it has clearly defined time boundaries. I think of it as a declaration that we won’t tolerate this shit anymore.
You are right. This isn’t over. We won’t tolerate it. We can’t. But powerful men have created the ‘end of the era’ because there was no justice, behavioral changes on the part of men, or much real accountability or jail time. This is going to get far worse for women and vulnerable populations.

Not my quote: "Amanda sent her to the viper's nest telling to the viper to not be a snake."
If you know of 14 other people, who will send a 15th, being a decent human being?
Asking someone to pay their employees is hardly suggesting someone needs to be a saint. You’re a fan and have a different opinion of her than I do.
Gaiman's actions are (IMHO) far, far worse, so any lesser reaction from me would be an egregious insult to his victims.
Glad I didn't.
