    I am going to put the same warning on this post as I did on the one in literature:

    For anyone about to read the article, it is A LOT. Like, I don’t have any particular triggers and I had a hard time reading it.

    The CW itself almost needs a CW, so I spoilered it here:

    spoiler

    CW: SA, Physical abuse, non consenting bdsm, child abuse, humiliation, corrective SA

    If you don’t want to read it, the TL;DR is that Gaiman is a monster

    Well…that was an agonizing article to read. I’d heard of some of the allegations about Gaiman a while back, but it just gets worse and worse the further on you read. And it’s really damning when Gaiman’s response essentially boils down to “yes it happened, but it was consensual I swear.”

    I only know him because he made an appearance on The big bang theory. I swear its some sort of curse with guest cameos either dying or being exposed for being bad people.
