"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. [The harm] does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves." — T.S.Elliot
'It's sad about Neil Gaiman. But I hope [he continues to make bank so] I can get the next season of that TV show.'

Do people hear the mouths they talk out of?

Have they ever considered not being obscenely self-centered?

Are they all twelve? Honestly, that's the only excuse.

ABC news: "he was a husband and father"
So was Mao.

his widow: "he was loving and generous"
No doubt Mao's last wife thought so [publicly] too.

Concepts of thoughts and prayers.
...unless of course the concepts require prior authorization or are out of network.

It's terribly cringe when people replace words that are actually accurate with words they are emotionally attached to. Like using "capitalism" when they mean "corporatism", "CEO" when they mean "person who was complicit in the suffering and death of multitudes", etc.

A good reminder that "Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." (Elie Wiesel)

Speak up about Neil Gaiman and other abusers and require accountability.

Anyone else want to step up in public to suck Neil Gaiman's buttery c*ck today? Poor fellow, what if *he* were the victim! This should be our most important consideration. Won't someone think of the Gaimans?!

"While Gaiman has contributed to the writing of the Good Omens series finale, he will not be working on the production."

That seems to be the entirety of the Pratchett estate's statement on the elephant in the room. So, Terry Pratchett would be cool with this?

Imagine being the kind of person/enabler, in a world where access to damning evidence is readily available, who chooses to say something like this.

While I was crazy busy getting v cool stuff set up for a v cool non-profit, a few gënocide apologists here on Bsky spent their time variously calling me a right-winger, a left-winger, & a bot. 😂 What a noble & time-worthy venture. Anyway, the non-prof needs $5k to get going. Any ideas, pls share! ❤️

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Neil Gaiman is not worth defending.

He can fight his own, self-made battles. And he can lose.

My face certainly had a reaction to this public Gaiman grossness. 😩

Given Amazon is being boycotted by plenty of groups at the moment, those groups may be interested to know about Neil Gaiman, the manipulative s*x abuser Amazon is financially & promotionally supporting. You can write them a note and fill them in on the news.

It's frankly vile seeing fans of Good Omens brushing victims aside and going to bat for poor li'l Amazon and Gaiman just so they can personally benefit, getting happy brain chemicals from more entertainment.
If your line isn't r*pe, abuse, lies, manipulation, etc., what *is* your line, exactly?

Whether or not you heard rumors, Gaiman had a specific Type of Female Character -- ethereal yet earthy, no thoughts just quirk, childlike and pre-sexual but sexualized -- and it was obvious he surrounded himself with young people who fit the mold. "65-year-old who assaults the nanny" is not a reach.

'It's not that I don't believe Neil Gaiman's victims. It's just that I am going to use up alllllll the air in every space to blame the messenger so that oxygen deprivation keeps everyone else from staying focused.'

Please, just stop already.
