Warning, this story is really horrific and will be heartbreaking for any fans of his, but Neil Gaiman is a sadistic [not in the BDSM sense] sexual predator with a predilection for very young women.

    I… don’t understand why you felt the need to share this. You didn’t read the article and aren’t familiar with his work? What is it that you are contributing? What are you saying that others should hear?

    Respectfully, it sounds like you are talking to hear yourself talk. Not every memory or thought I’d worth sharing, in fact, most are better left unsaid.

    Especially when it’s about coloring books in a thread about systemic and repeated rape.

      I found it interesting to think about his darker side hidden in plain view all along. Didn’t seem like the sort of thing that would be offensive.

      It’s clearly a bad faith statement to characterize my comment as being about “coloring books” in a thread about “systemic and repeated rape”.

      Read the comments. People are upset they don’t get to like one of their favorite authors anymore. That’s what the thread is about.

      You evoked rape to strengthen your argument? That’s fucking gross.

        It’s literally what the article is about. Which would’ve been a faster read than you arguing with pointing at your out of place comment. Not informing yourself is a very odd thing to get defensive over.
