Everytime I hear ‘I have never sexually assaulted any woman’, it reminds me of Clinton saying ‘I have never had sexual intercourse with that woman’. It’s the same no matter who says it🤷♀️
Palmer has been openly bad for years, of course I didn't know how bad in private. He is a monster & she went along & enabled him for years, they are both gross, him even more so as he crossed lines with their son present. Utter vileness.
I don't think you can or should compare them. Each are bad in their own way, all their victims deserve a voice & justice, but Epstein & Ghislaine did far, far, far more insidious things than Gaiman & Palmer.
E&G had a wider reach. And more financial power, and all victims deserve the loudest voice possible.
But I honestly think Gaiman and Palmer were the more insidious actors in terms of the images and relationships they tried to cultivate, publicly, that concealed their abuse.
As far as we know N&P did not traffic women & minors, they didn't have a cadre of other wealthy people doing the same. The details of E&G's crimes & their influential friends/protectors are on a completely different level, extremely disgusting, disturbing & I don't think they should be compared.
It's never a good look when your consensual sex partners have signed NDAs that they would like to break. Neil Gaiman may have no choice but to run for president.
“Emotionally unavailable, careless and not-as-thoughtful-as-I-could’ve-been” are not words that come to mind for any sane person reading the latest—or any of the—accounts about Neil Gaiman (and his chief enabler, Amanda Palmer).
The first story about the babysitter, I saw how it could have been a horrible bad event. But then the story with the woman in his property anda pattern emerged.
Women in vulnerable positions, in a terrible power dynamic. Then offered meager sums to shut up. That is what proved the serial nature.
Yeah take your b.s. & stove it, Neil, you've gotten away with this for years. You not only hurt countless women, but subjected your son to abuse, disgusting trash.
To ask us to not believe them would be to have us believe that these women are better fiction writers than Gaiman himself. And that they are in cahoots to report the same things.
He really didn't deserve a fluff piece in the NYT to try and exonerated him.

I believe the women.
Gosh, sounds like he can run for president now.
