Neil Gaiman - any better than Harvey Weinstein? Better than JKR?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Almost everyone agrees that HW is a despicable sex pest, who coerced women into acts that they might have otherwise not performed, but for a huge power imbalance.
Similar claims are being made about NG. Like HW, he was a darling of the left (we actually went to see him and his (soon to be ex-)wife Amanda Palmer perform at a New Statesman sponsored event. We're both huge fans of his (and AP) and are quite upset that such a great artist has allegations like this against him.
Comparisons are being made with JK Rowling - specifically asking why so many people (his chiefly progressive fan base) are trying to excuse or downplay his actions, while so many people from a similar political leaning are castigating JKR as a killer, abuser or worse, due to her public comments on trans issues.
Any thoughts? |

"The comparison with the heroic JKR are, of course, utterly deranged."
It's contrast more than comparison. Contrast of a segment of society cancelling JKR, while defending their choice to remain fans of NG's work. |
