Hey folks I know it's hard but please mention the NG allegations on social media as often as you feel emotionally equal to doing (appropriately tagged, of course). We need to keep talking about it because his PR team is going to keep working to suppress it.

Hi, nw! NG has been credibly accused of sexual as*ault and ab*se, up to and including r*pe, by 8 women, many of whom were his fans. (One of them alleges he sexually ab*sed his son as well). And now he's suing one of them for supposedly violating a nondisclosure agreement he forced her to sign.
Хэй, а что за хэштег? Что случилось? Почему я пыталась найти милые посты о Кроули и Азирафеле, а вижу хэштег #FalksHilGerman, я смотрела только первый сезон, связанно ли с этим что-то? (Я не могу перевести потому что у меня почему то не работает)

Apparently he has petitioned a court to dismiss the se*ual allegations claims, trying to warp the legal system in his favor and bury the legally sound claim the brave women have taken to expose him.

Those fuckers emailed me at six pm today to say my Mother's Day flowers wouldn't be arriving. No explanation, no offer of a refund.
I hope anyone purchasing flowers through FTD for Mothers Day has better luck than what they sent my mom: a collection of dead flowers in a box without any water, shipped from Virginia to upstate New York? They offered me a measly 20% refund. Well, friends, you better believe I went off.

They told me this at SIX PM on Mother's Day. I try not to be that person, but I am FURIOUS.
FTD Flowers just straight-up didn't deliver my Mother's Day flowers. They had the audacity to email me with no explanation other than to say they wouldn't be arriving and offer me $10 off my next (lol) order.

I knew this piece about Neil Gaiman was in the works, and still, I felt sick reading it.

people, he hired personal publicists and spent thousands and thousands of dollars
There was one I saw a while back (before the revelations about him) about how every good thing that happened in his career was because someone recommended him. It was supposed to be 'yay writing community!' but it just made the lit world sound rife with cronyism.

Saying you “just wish it were spread more widely” is abdicating your current responsibility to spread it widely.

Because again: further coverage from legacy outlets is not guaranteed. It depends on how WE act NOW. How we treat the survivors who have already come forward NOW.

“Separate the artist from the art” yeah folks I can do that for Dickens or Hemingway or other assholes who are PROFOUNDLY DEAD but I prefer not to line the pockets of living assholes. Saying any version of that is saying “I don’t want to complicate my fun.” It’s moral mediocrity.

Not to mention that he can keep Terry Pratchett's name out of his mouth.

I'm forced to conclude that guys like Ellis and Gaiman are addicted to treating women poorly. They could consensually sleep with many women if they so desired in a non-creepy and non power-imbalancy way. They choose to do it the wrong way because they get off on it. And that makes me sad.

Oh, he’s offered to step back? So everyone can have the thing they want? That was decent of him, wasn’t it? Maybe he’s a nice guy really.

By the way, if you’re hungry, I heard there’s a gingerbread cottage in the woods. Why not go and take a little nibble. Bones? What bones?

Some are saying, rightfully, "Good, fuck Gaiman but sucks for everyone else involved with his stuff that is getting cancelled" which is true but also what toxic shit does; it's wrecks EVERYTHING it comes into contact with.

Which is why it cannot be tolerate, not a drop of it.
Variety or Hollywood Reporter posted about the pauses/cancellations a couple days ago, but it's def picking up traction. My guess is the streamers are both taking advantage of an opportunity to cancel big budget small audience shows *and* divesting in advance of even more reveals coming soon.
First big newspaper reporting I have seen about NG and the accusations against him.

This is the thing - anyone loosely connected to publishing had heard murmurs of Gaiman's behaviour. So how on earth can these companies claim not to have known?
Doubly infuriating that Gaiman's behavior was a widely known industry 'open secret' long before any of these shows entered production and these corps went ahead and did it anyway until they got caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
Sucks so much that we won't get another season of Good Omens because yet another prominent man can't be fucking normal
