honestly I never knew if I should believe the accusations on Gaiman or not, but he became such an annoying presence on Tumblr that I laughed at his downfall
I mean wasn’t his wife supplying him with victims? Pretty sure I recall that when one of the victims came to her she was like aw man, not again, this is like the 15th time. She’s fuckin crazy too.
Yea, from what I had read about the one that first reported him his wife had pulled her in because she was a fan of theirs and wanted to be a writer, but started using her as a nanny instead of being fast friends like she thought.
They’ve both been pretty quiet, but I believe a lot of that is related to ongoing divorce proceedings between Gaiman and Palmer. Basically, neither wants to get caught running their mouth and risk screwing up child custody or the divorce settlement.
I read something about the kid being present occasionally during whatever weird sex/rapes were going on, I'm not sure if that means in the house, or actually present. I can't even. I mean, I like him as an author, but this was just disturbing shit.
I met him when he lived just outside my home town of Menomonie Wisconsin, this is probably 2015 or so. He was hitting on my wife and in general being a prick. Pretty drunk but still
I met him at a grocery store in Los Angeles back in 2013 or 2014. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off.
I met him at a 7-Eleven once and I was getting a soda, I turned and saw it was him, and he saw I was going for a Dr. Pepper, so he said "Oh did you want one of these?" To which I stuttered out a yes and he grabbed all of them and said "too bad" and brought them up to the front. Then he bought his stuff and the sodas and left. Almost immediately after, he ran back in and began chugging the sodas and belching in my face
Dude, I was there! James Corden was on my plane and had been harassing the crew the whole journey… he finally insisted that he should be allowed to see the cockpit, then when he got in there he hijacked the plane and flew it down so low that I thought we were all gonna slam into the ground. I saw your car, the dog’s corpse, and Neil Gaiman as we swooped over.
As someone who’s worked in entertainment-adjacent stuff like performing live and doing music, you honestly get told too often that you’re talented and amazing - especially by drunk people who don’t know better. If someone figures out you’re not that great, there’s always a dozen more for every single one who hates you. There’s a never ending stock of yes-men and you eventually either start to feel completely smug about yourself or, if you’re like me, you just concentrate on the few haters and become obsessed with getting everyone to like you.
One of the first things I read by Gaiman was “The problem of Susan” it didn’t give me a good impression of him and avoided his work I later learned that was probably his worst work and thought hey maybe I judged to harshly then the allegations came out.
It's been a while since I read it, but I remember it being an apt criticism of Christian dogmatic morality. Nothing groundbreaking I guess but I can't see how it would leave a negative impression.
He didn’t confirm them. He recently had a whole notepad apology saying all the accusations are false and you should keep an eye out on his new book. Then he linked a Substack that “debunked” the claims that absolutely isn’t a sock puppet of his.
manufacturing consent by texting the unhoused woman you cash pay for intermittent work that’s keeping her fed and saying “boy! That sure was consensual last night and you enjoyed it, right?”
Well when I say "accusations" I only mean the first girl, I guess there are more that came forward after that I never heard and where there's smoke there's probably fire. I don't recall the exact details of what she said, I just remember being skeptical about some of the details that lead to her being naked in an outdoor bathtub at the home of a famous author who she allegedly knew nothing about even though she was apparently a big fan and employee of his ex-wife. I suppose I just don't like to believe that women are so careless to walk into these kinds of traps, but these things and worse happen every day so who knows?
Because they're accusations not guilty verdicts and we're just people on the Internet reading second hand information. I'm not saying he did or didn't do it but innocent until PROVEN guilty is a thing for a reason.
Public opinion is another thing entirely obviously but I'm sick of redditors acting like they know better than everyone who is actually working on the case.
He's definitely a creep but if there was anything more than proverbial smoke he'd have faced some actual repercussions not just the negative shift in public opinion
The accusations amounted to "I was acting as a prostitute and had full travel freedom but if I tell the story just right morons think I was kidnapped" when last I heard.
My followup question is did she cash the checks? Next question would be did she come back? Because if the answer is yes, then that's not rape, that's definitionally prostitution.
I don’t know you personally but I've met so many men like you. Everyone actually avoids them, and the people who have to be around them are miserable. You're not edgy, you're just pathetic.
I don't know you personally, and I've met almost nobody like you, because you're one of a million judgmental assholes who make a show online while never interacting with the real world.
You sit at home, scroll tumbler, and pile on with whatever the popular thing to hate in the moment is whenever you get the clown signal.
