That Neil Gaiman "breaking my silence" blog post has the strongest Reynolds Pamphlet energy I have ever encountered. Buddy, you will not be writing your way out of this.

It's entirely possible he believes everything he says. More likely he's working to convince himself of his own innocence and, therefore, a judge or jury. Alas, egomaniac that he is, he's shown us all that he is a power rapist.
I absolutely believe the women who shared their stories but, to further debunk his blog post: even if every encounter was voluntary and enthusiastic, you cannot have consensual sex with an employee. He's admitted to having sex with employees and therefore has admitted to coercing people into sex.
“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 Gaiman (and his chief enabler Palmer).
It was full of the same kind of "I'm an ally" bullshit weaponized therapy speak that helped him prey on vulnerable women and hide his true self all this time.
The vague, avoidant language speaks volumes. If you're going to do it, do it like Jay-Z did. I'm not saying he's telling the truth, but an immediate, hard, unequivocal "I absolutely did not fucking do that!!!" helps your case a lot. Just saying.
Back in July he hired the same reputation management firm Prince Andrew hired. Been silent since. He's clearly either not listening now or twisted their arms into letting him post This One Thing on his blog even though he really should have listened and kept his trap shut.
Yeah people are saying it reeks of lawyer speak and I’m like nah bruh. He’s boxing himself into defenses his lawyers would never wanna have to work with. He just did this.
