Umm, as far as I am aware, Gaiman writes Fantasy. At least that is what I experienced with Good Omens and American Gods and the disastrous sequel to it. How can you suggest that he was writing stores that reflected the lives of fans. Are there gods roaming this planet that I am not aware of? As for being fake... of course it is fake. It is fantasy.

Are you suggesting that the young woman should remain at here "station" in life. She is homeless so she can only have sex with other homeless people? Here is another narrative... Maybe she jumped into the sex hoping for a free ride, and when it came to an end, she convinced herself, or others convinced her to believe she was somehow raped, and her initial consent was forced?

If you are so foolish as to suggest that innocent until proven guilty should apply, you are "enabling" those sexual predators and "belittling" the victims suffering making you equally guilty.
