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.

    But it’s mere hearsay. Is your judgment so casual?

        9 women, the youngest being 18

        In this world of fucked up authors, it’s sad that I’m impressed that he didn’t go below 18.

        You literally only know that because you heard somebody say it

          Unless it’s an AI or an automated response, that’s how everyone knows everything. They either heard it or read it from someone else.

            I see stuff and meet people in real life, actually.

              And then they tell you things that you were not there to witness. That is literally how communication works.

              You just seem to think that people you meet in real life are less likely to lie to you than people in an article that shows that a huge amount of research was done and I’m not sure why.

                In real life you can talk to people that you know and see things with your own eyes. This is better than essays written by anonymous people on the internet.

                  And those people could be lying to you. Every single one of them. How do you know they aren’t? Why do you trust them?

                    Surely you are familiar with the difference between real life and social media.

            I am only criticizing you people actually. There’s a lot of room for criticism. Your whole process is retarded.

            And yes, you are going after Neil like a mob of 12th century potato farmers.

              Statistically speaking, the likelihood of someone lying about sexual assault is low, a reasonable estimate being around 3-4%. When you have 9 separate people making the same claim, it gives credance to the idea that the odds of their claims being false is very low.

      You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.
