The rule on allegations of abuse against powerful famous men, is the default is to believe the accuser. Coming out about a powerful man is a great risk, that most abused people are not able to take on & most don't choose to do in vain. And we combat patriarchy by believing women first @wagatwe.com
The allegations against Gaiman are a good time to reiterate that adding the caveat "unless the accused is someone I admire, like or respect" to the statement "I believe women" means you don't believe women.
