i hate to have a hot take here, but amanda palmer is the most dangerous person in this story. to acknowledge gaiman's capacity, and propensity, for inflicting sexual violence on young women, while continuing to supply him with victims is so craven and despicable as to be cartoonishly evil.

Surprised by how much anger I have for her in this story

adrierising.bsky.social•46 days ago

it gave me a headache honestly. i didn't know it was possible to loathe someone so entirely.

How could you possibly be so selfish, as a person

to enable this violence through a child... to do this while identifying with an audience of young women, predicated on the shared trauma inflicted by men doing violence -- your brain has to be broken on unfathomable ways. the two of them deserve each other and nothing else.

i am sorry for the women victimised by this man. and i'm sorry for the child used as an unwitting pawn in his parents' sick game. to be made a tool in this kind of violence, before you even have the words to articulate why it's evil -- palmer and gaiman are the worst kinds of people.

that she literally knew he would do something to Scarlett and the most she did was tell him not to

horrifying

Didn't even have the fucking grace to warn the potential victim, just the known abuser, in an attempt to be able to console herself later for being the traitor who supplied the abuser with victims. And still didn't fucking pay her for her work.

and this is the best we get from a writer who's trying to make her look sympathetic which is pretty damning

What the BDSM culture says it does and what it actually does are very different things.

Last I checked it's full of patriarchal men who prey on younger women
