I haven't seen any discussion here about Gaiman, and maybe it's because we don't really want to go down that road with another celebrated person. I don't know even know what to say. I've admired his writing, my brief interaction with him at a con was positive (signed Coraline on-camera for a charity auction with which I was involved), I'm a huge fan of The Sandman, and I was looking forward to Season Two of the adaptation. A year ago it sounded like sleaziness and I didn't look too closely. With these developed allegations, which certainly sound credible, we're staring into the possibility of significant sex offenses. It looks bad even should it turn out some of the allegations have been distorted or exaggerated. Even Amanda Palmer comes off as a tad suspect, though again, I don't know the truth-- and I had not followed just how rough their divorced proceedings had been. I generally ignore that sort of celebrity news.
If you haven't gone down the rabbit hole opened up for a wider audience by the Vulture article, I caution you, it's a very rough ride.
(Mind you, it's worse when someone with actual political power does horrible things and gets a pass, but still).
Anyone?
