So if you’re following along here: Civility dictates the hierarchy which describes who is socially pressed to take on discomfort, and abusers manipulate this by purposefully and explicitly using that hierarchy.

An incredibly well-researched piece on the horrors of Neil Gaiman. It is extremely upsetting and explicit. Please be careful reading it.
