Neil Gaiman denies sexual assault allegations after accusations from multiple women

‘I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity,’ wrote the ‘American Gods’ author

He was once one of my favorite writers, but as I alluded to in that earlier post, those of us that knew his reputation on the fan circuit had been waiting for this shoe to drop for a long time. Nobody has that much sex with that many different people without some sketchy sheet being involved somewhere along the line. Even in his "everything was consensual" version of events he's still basically admitting to being a power dynamic exploiting ghoul. The story about his live in nanny made my skin crawl.

He's done now. Sandman used to be my favorite comic series of all time. I get separating the art from the artist but I don't think I can do that with him. I just view him as gross.

He's also a scientologist.

Yeah. His personal life is bizarre even beyond this stuff.

Back in the early 2000's pre-social media era he built his online reputation through constant blogging and presented himself as just a normal married father of three who also happened to be a wildly successful spooky British fantasy and comic book writer and that was arguably the biggest bit of fiction he ever peddled.

In fact, I think his first marriage turned out to be some kind of arranged scientology thing. Once that ended and he hooked up with Amanda Palmer he started being more openly weird and ditched the nice guy family man act.

It's even worse when you find out she wanted to settle things down after they had a kid and he basically browbeat her into allowing an open relationship so he could gallivant around the world forking everything that moved.

Also when he ditched her and the kid during covid. They were in New Zealand, I think, and he used his celebrity connections to get himself back to the UK at a time when nobody was doing that. He straight up ditched them.

Finding out someone you legitimately once admired is basically a human trash factory definetly sucks.


But his downfall is earned.

The only comfort I take from this is my favorite thing he wrote was Good Omens and I can attribute it to Terry Pratchett.

 

[The Nomad]

American Gods is my favorite novel. As a fan, this sucks. As a human, this is disgusting.

Doesn’t help me. American Gods, Ocean/Lane, Norse Mythology, Sandman, Marvel 1602, Wolves in the Wall, Mr Punch
