Nat OleanderNeil Gaiman is a harrowing reminder that writing does NOT heal your trauma. Writing for an audience is not "therapeutic."Journaling can be a part of your healing toolbox, and some professional projects can be cathartic, but powerful writing says nothing about whether or how you are handling your own trauma.Artists are not mystically superior highly-evolved beings. Some are compartmentalizing, or hiding in their work.<a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/neilgaiman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neilgaiman</a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/amandapalmer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amandapalmer</a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/scientology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scientology</a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/cult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cult</a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/trauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trauma</a>

marnanelLots of people have been saying their own work seems tainted, because it was inspired by the work of Neil Gaiman.I want to talk about Beatrice Portinari here. She was the (probable) subject of the greatest work in European literature.It was written in the 1300s by a massive creep called Dante.He met Beatrice *twice*.(thread)<a href="https://queer.party/tags/NeilGaiman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NeilGaiman</a>

serious business :donor: :heart_cyber:What always strikes me as particularly nasty about rich fucks abusing people is that it would be trivial for the abusers to use their wealth and fame to get the experiences they *ostensibly* want with consenting adults. Instead, they prey on vulnerable people, which suggests that transgression and power over others is the *actual* underlying feeling they're seeking and the sex or whatever is a secondary concern.So given a choice between using privilege to seek novel experiences and using privilege to insulate themselves from the consequences of predatory experiences, many choose the latter.Is this a particularly harmful instantiation of status games? It seems like largely the same dynamics at work.This is a toot about Neil Gaiman, but also some very significant portion of the ruling classes more broadly.

Martin RundkvistI've never cared much about Rowling's or Gaiman's books, so their deplorable fall from grace doesn't bother me. But I wondered, which writers would I actually be distraught to learn similar things about? And I came to the conclusion that there's none. I'm just not that invested in anyone, even though I read one book a week. A favourite writer proves to be a skeeve? That's OK, I have 50 other favourites.<a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/neilgaiman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neilgaiman</a>

Jeri DanskyI disposed of my Neil Gaiman books when the reports about him first came out last summer. Gave away my Good Omens DVD. Deleted podcasts I'd saved where he was a guest.With the latest reporting on Vulture (many many CWs on that one) I checked to make sure he was gone from my computer. Found a number of documents and whole bunch of bookmarks from years past; they're gone now. Deleted bookmarks involving Amanda Palmer, too.

Eliot LashMore women have stepped forward to accuse <a href="https://social.coop/tags/NeilGaiman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NeilGaiman</a> of rape and sexual misconduct. He was one of my favorite authors but after the allegations came out last summer I feel I can no longer support him in good conscience. I think he believed he was too rich, powerful, and famous to have to face consequences for his actions. Let's show him that's not the case.<a href="https://www.vulture.com/article/neil-gaiman-allegations-controversy-amanda-palmer-sandman-madoc.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.vulture.com/article/neil-gaiman-allegations-controversy-amanda-palmer-sandman-madoc.html</a> (original report, paywalled)<a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2025/01/13/neil-gaiman-vulture-article-sexual-assault-allegations/77672679007/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2025/01/13/neil-gaiman-vulture-article-sexual-assault-allegations/77672679007/</a><a href="https://social.coop/tags/MeToo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MeToo</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bookstodon</a>

MissConstrueI woke up this morning to a slew of text messages pointing me towards an article on Vulture about Neil Gaiman. Most of the messages were people saying they were sorry they didn’t believe me in the early 90s when I first started warning people that he was a “missing stair”, a fake feminist, and a dangerous man in a closed room. I’m so fucking tired of being Cassandra. I warned you people. Over and over. Nobody fucking believed me. It was a large part of why I walked away from a career in that industry. Trigger warning: this article is brutal. I wish I had not read it unprepared. This is very much a strap on your protective armor and maybe plan on quiet time, read. It is nightmare fuel. It probably still won’t be enough for him to see any real consequences. (Archive link to avoid paywall, I support Vulture, but this story needs to be widely disseminated.)<a href="https://mefi.social/tags/neilgaiman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neilgaiman</a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/abuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#abuse</a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/rape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rape</a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/missingstair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#missingstair</a> <a href="http://archive.today/tvfHX" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">http://archive.today/tvfHX</a>

Mark KraftGood point I read on various comments about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/neilgaiman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neilgaiman</a> . *"The fact that he's revealed himself to be the real-life incarnation of his own villain from Sandman's Calliope story—the writer who would happily chain a woman into sexual slavery for his own benefit—is such a betrayal of so many people who supported him over the years that I find it hard to believe that his fanbase hasn't completely collapsed."*
