Yeah, even the news articles just summarizing the allegations are devastating. How can anyone make a gen-z joke about this and think they made a point?
Essentially, the allegations are this:
- Rape, non-consensual BDSM (which is, again, rape)
- His underage child was present and awake at one occasion and I think this also counts as rape in some countries
- His then wife Amanda Palmer knew what happened and instead of supporting the victims suggested that Gaiman gets himself into therapy
Like WTF? None of this has anything to do with sex.
If he was dead already, I could kind of understand that you may ignore the private life of an author, but buying Gaiman's books directly supports his "lifestyle".
To be clear, no kink shaming, BDSM is absolutely a legitimate for of sex, but it requires consent.
