Re Gaiman - Just a reminder that there are children's books that teach minimally verbal autistic kids about consent. (anecdata: quite well)
But somehow we should believe that _Neil Gaiman_ could not assimilate this information.

yeah as someone who worked in SFF publishing/for NG’s publisher, I have heard a lot of stories that aren’t mine to share directly, but just let me affirm that these allegations are not new nor are they the only ones
A lot of rotten people are seizing on the Gaiman allegations in order to score points against the groups and politics he publicly supported. Please do not let this trick your animal brain into thinking he isn't guilty. The publishing world has horror stories about this guy going back decades.

One of the best comments that came out of retreat last week was “remember that social media is like chemo: necessary but also poison. Monitor not just your intake but how it’s making you feel. Take negative side effects seriously.”

Being Autistic in this world is terrifying. Being Autistic and Black must be 1000000000000000x moreso.
(Obligatory comment that autism isn't a "mental health issue". But that's a side note here.)
