It is NEVER about protecting kids. These same motherfuckers are rolling back child labour laws, fighting laws against child marriage, going after medicaid with insures millions of children, radicalizing sad and angry boys to go murder their classmates. They. Do. Not. Care. About. Kids.
They will say—and weaker Dems will say— "oh, this is just about protecting kids from actual pornography. They're not *really* going after LGBTQ+ content, or sex scenes in literature or sex education!"
Forty days into this administration, I beg you to take them at their word: they want to and will.

There are many writers of quality SFF - especially women - who never became celebrities and whose work imo far outstrips Gaiman's. And, yes, many - especially women - have been forgotten.
No, Gaiman didn't plagiarize Tanith Lee (I have a bunch of Lee first editions, I interviewed her once, I know her work). There are a bunch of writers who did gods stuff before him (Adams, Leiber) BUT it does show something I've noticed that a lot of writers from the 80s and 70s have been forgotten-
