Neil Gaiman accused of sexual assault

[burrunjor]

I always thought he was a prick, but wow. Of course innocent until proven guilt as always. I have 0 idea if he actually did any of this in terms of assaulting people and I can't stand the way the MR Tardis types will declare him guilty instantly. It's such a dangerous precedent to set. Still he has admitted to shagging these women which show he is a bit of a creep. You know me I LOVE older women. I think a guy my age in his 30s being with a woman in her 50s is really sweet. How I long for an Alison King or Claire Stansfield LOL, but these kinds of age gaps of 40 years, and people who are in their early twenties or in one case he knew them since they were a teenager are really creepy. On top of that the fact that they are fan girls and Nanny's who were employed by him is an abuse of power.

Lawrence Miles had a few things to say about Mr Gaiman in his blogging pomp about 10 years back.

Really? Do share? 

I wish I could find that smug interview where Paul Cornell said Neil Gaiman changed the world with that line in The Doctors Wife about a time lord changing gender. (Whilst bemoaning how awful the rest of DW fandom was for not wanting a female Doctor.) God google search is absolute f*cking bollocks. 

Meanwhile here are some of Neil Gaiman's smug I appreciate women quotes so much or quotes about him.

From Collider. Now these guys have been among the biggest c*nts to Gina Carano, that case is my obsession right now I know, but still they have been really vicious towards her and even upset her with their lies, so here they are singling Gaiman out for praise. He just understands women in their view more. To be fair predators do have to know their prey.

Meanwhile Gaiman's own words. 

"One of the basic things that runs all the way through Sand Man is the male/female dichotomy, male/female friction and the difference in men’s and women’s outlooks on the world. I like writing women. I feel that women are far more sensible than men and I like the sensible characters."

" I think part of it, especially in comics, was a reaction against the kind of women that had been written in comics before Sandman. None of whom were women. The peculiar thing about women in comics pre-Sandman is they seemed to have been written by people who had managed somehow to go through their entire lives never actually meeting a woman. Which I think is weird cause they must have mothers or something.

Instead, when a woman was meant to come on in a comic book they were normally either these simpering creatures who were simpering or scheming creatures, or were weird like Lois Lane. Or they were basically men with large breasts. In fact, normally, they were men with absolutely enormous breasts and big guns. When I was writing Sandman one of the things I really wanted to do was write about real women, I mean, who were women – who happened to be female, half of the human race – as opposed to women who generally were to be found in comic books. I thought it was a fairly sensible thing to want to do. Now, what was very peculiar about that, was that I immediately started getting comic store owners coming up to me and shaking my hand at comic’s conventions and thanking me for bringing women into their stores for the first time. And one of the things that is still true to this day is, at signings, half of the people in the line waiting to get their books signed and their comics signed, are women."

‘In Coraline I am writing about what it means to be very small in this strange big world and how to be brave and tricky and cope. And now, eleven years after publication, I am meeting women on signing tours presenting me with battered copies of the story and telling me how its example of courage helped them get through some bad times during their own teens. I don’t know to this day what I gave them. But whatever it was, it worked.

Again I don't know if Gaiman is a rapist or not. I will not mention either way, and to be honest I don't think this should have been made public until a jury made a decision. Still like I said he is a bit of a creep at least going after 23 year olds when he is in his 60s and fangirls and maids etc.

All I can say is it really always is these male feminists from him to Joss Whedon. I used to joke that this is what male feminists have to endure before they join. 



Maybe that is what they need after all LOL.
