You are assuming a company with offices and employees and assets made up libelous claims whole-cloth and then published them in a country with stricter libel laws than the United States. Be serious for ten seconds. That is an absurd premise.
Yes I know they're terfs. But I'm a trans woman, I'm also a woman, and this is a pretty clear cut case of a man using his power to abuse women. Stop using transphobia as an excuse to defend a cis man. That's fucking gross.
Everyone reading this has my permission as a trans woman to continue being skeptical of a Very Official Company(tm) run by TERFs.
This conversation is stupid. Nobody is using transphobia as an excuse for anything.
Never had a man so something to you and have no one believe you before? Because this is literally the shit people say _every time_. And also there were posts about Gaiman ON BLUESKY months ago claiming he was unsafe around women.
Just because a terf outlet was the first to publish a story on a rapist doesnt mean that your favorite shitty young adult author didnt rape young adults
BECAUSE THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THESE WOMEN SPOKE UP, ASIDE FROM THIS PODCAST AND THIS PODCAST ALONE. It's called "critical thinking", kid. And what you're doing is called "leaping to conclusions."
it's called believing women pops, you've got lead in your brain from the gasoline growing up and your "critical thinking" is a literal conspiracy theory. Do you believe the victims are real? Do you believe Gaiman's response was forged? Do you believe women?
You're being deeply unserious about all of this. For starters, two people with a podcast is hardly a "conspiracy". Should we have believed Alex Jones when he claimed the Parkland shooting was faked? After all, he presented every bit as much verified evidence as these two.
I really hope you are capable of understanding that the shit you are doing right now is why it's so hard to come forward
How the fuck would you feel if total strangers were this loudly dismissive about your life?
You are actively choosing to be part of the problem
Survivors are seeing this
Rolling Stone is exclusively quoting the podcast and has not verified the existence of anything beyond the podcast itself.
The RS article is atrociously written and makes it sound as though there is independent corroboration when there has not yet been any.
Yes, they sometimes do. Big time. On sexual assault related things even. Apparently you missed the huge debacle of their fake article on an alleged rape at UVirginia, for example.
because unless the author of that article is jumping off a bridge tomorrow, those claims would end their life in court. lawyers checked this article. be real.
You keep saying "be real" like I haven't watched the media knowingly lie every day for the past quarter century. Sure, eventually a lie like that would end their career. Eventually. But look how long it took Alex Jones lies to finally catch up to him. This is the real world. People lie.
i mean.. the way you lead to the conclusion that she's lying just because he's said protrans stuff at some point is kinda like the folks who said Cosby's survivors were lying because he was trying to buy ABC
or that Assange's survivors were lying because he upset governments the world over🤔
Why are you so eager to disbelieve someone saying they survived sexual assault simply because you either 1) like gaiman, or 2) have morally judged the woman as being unreliable because either her transphobia or bc #1?
Because people lie? And a podcast run by terfs is automatically kinda suspect? If they said the sky was blue, I'd still want to check outside before believing them.
Hey, you don't have to believe it one way or the other, but the way you just leap out with, HEY YOU KNOW, PEOPLE LIE
is like, uh huh. We see you karen lol
ppl do lie, though given the rape culture we have, i'm thinking it's not so cut and dry as "she's lying because she's a TERF"
Yeah weird how I might instinctively mistrust someone who's entire ideology is based around my inherent evilness and the need to expunge me from existence. I wonder why I might want corroboration before accepting their words as fact.
because when a woman publically comes out with rape allegations against a famous person it's far far far far far far far far far far far far far likelier that the allegations are true than they are false because there's basically no benefit to lying, only massive downsides. please don't be dumb
