Last line cut off:
“Gaiman found it all in Tanith Lee's writing and never gave her any credit.”
This is about Neil Gaiman. Ta-Nehisi Coates BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME is a great book. Insightful, beautifully written, profound. Coates modeled his book on James Baldwin's THE FIRE NEXT TIME. We know this because Coates was open and up-front about this fact. George R.R. Martin's GAME OF THRONES/A Song of Ice and Fire is a great series. Martin modeled his books on a series by a French author named Maurice Druon. We know this because Martin was open and up-front about this fact. Viet Thanh Nguyen's THE SYMPATHIZER is a great book. He modeled it on a book written in Vietnamese, whose title escapes me. We know this because Nguyen was open and up-front about this fact. Neil Gaiman's THE SANDMAN is a great comic book series Gaiman modeled his series on Tanith Lee's TALES FROM THE FLAT EARTH. But you wouldn't know this, because Gaiman has never given her any credit. Despite the fact that the main character - a byronic, pale, otherworldly, deity-like character - is the prince of night and dreams. Despite the fact that every time people see art depicting Tanith Lee's main character Azhrarn, they think it's Morpheus from the Sandman. (How bad is this? When people see depictions of her character, they say SHE must have ripped HIM off.) Despite the fact that the dream lord's younger sibling is Death Despite the fact that other members of his family include Delusion, Delirium.... They are not gods but beings older than gods, and when the gods die, Dream, Death, Delusion, and Delirium will remain. This family of immortal, eternal, unchanging beings, who each embody an eternal abstraction starting with the letter D. Someone else on the internet, noticing the similarities, flipped open the third book in Tanith Lee's series to a random page, and lo and behold, there's a description of a character who was clearly the inspiration for Gaiman's Mazikeen The prose, the characters, the narrative strategies, the mythology, the story structure, all of it: Gaiman found it all in Tanith Lee's

Sorry, but I really hope people who love THE WILD ROBOT movie know it was inspired by my book. It's mentioned in the credits but most people don't read that stuff. If you love the movie you should check out the book! There's more to the story and it's a quick read.

This echo chamber nonsense is predicated on the notion that bigotry is a valid perspective. It isn’t. Grow up! Think better!
