Warning, this story is really horrific and will be heartbreaking for any fans of his, but Neil Gaiman is a sadistic [not in the BDSM sense] sexual predator with a predilection for very young women.

    You also have a lot of downvotes because everyone else is far more likely correct. So there’s that. This isn’t a jury trial. He’s not innocent until proven guilty in the court of public opinion.

    I’d happily eat my words if reasonable doubt arose for half those cases. I want to like him because I like his work, but he legit has that kind of sordid and sad history that fucks people up.

    Just be glad that his work stands on it’s own without his hangups. After you find out the characters and themes Lovecraft used were because he was disgusted by interracial children it’s a lot harder to keep that shit behind the fourth wall.
