Having read the full article on the allegations against Neil Gaiman...

What can I add? The details are genuinely, no exaggeration, stomach-turning.

I know we're all learning not to put people on a pedestal, but are we now naive to assume they might have basic human-level decency?

Have you read his statement, released today?
I think Neil has some Trump-level cognitive dissonance, esp. when it comes to consent.

Like I said. The article turned my stomach. I don't think it's strong enough to read his statement on top of that.

Later.

I'm officially done holding anyone I don't know intimately up as an example of a good man. I don't trust them to be "one of the good ones" anymore

Yes. Apply that across the board. Seriously, don't even make an exception for me. Oh I find the very idea of exploiting or abusing someone sick and f***ed up, but terrible people come in all forms and in every facade you can think of, even the most decent-seeming.

Always be on guard.

It was so heartbreaking. And yet so mundane in the sense that it was every shitty "Tumblr dom" that doesn't understand consent, just given the large sized bottle of wealth and privilege. I hate that it's nothing new, but so very new to our knowledge of this one particular man.
