oh this is disgusting. using the typical "she made it up for revenge" and "she's too mentally ill to believe" BS.

"too mentally ill to believe" is such a common criterion for someone being targeted for abuse and sexual assault that to my mind, it makes the allegations more credible, not less. If a man insinuates a woman is "crazy," it's a good bet he did something to her.
this middle aged man did not give a nanny, his employee, even 24 hours before he decided to attack her. you do not and can not have a “consensual relationship” with your 6 year olds teenage caretaker. but he understands that! fucking asshole.
Honestly I always felt like his choosing to marry Amanda Palmer when she’s a known horrifying bigot of a human being meant he was also a terrible person (but bc people are so in love with him I just block him places and try not to deal with his fandom). But damn is this NOT a surprise at all.
Like you can accidentally marry a horrible person (I did, unfortunately still scrabbling to escape bc disability etc), but if you choose someone who is that well-known for being gleefully monstrous, it’s definitely reflecting something in you! (Plus the first wife getting too old thing blech)
wow it's almost like sexual assault effects peoples' mental health and ability to advocate for themselves (me a normal person who doesn't hate women)
Neil: All women are cr@zy, and these survivors+ my ex wife are who's wrong. Mental Illness is good if its a cis-male writers but for women ew.
I notice how everyone's leaving the age gaps out, too- all the signs were there.
And tbf American Gods was blatantly misogynistic. These fuckers are never subtle.
all the way to him writing stories with pedophile heroes and young women who are somehow evil at the age of 6.
So like 2003.
seriously some are harder to find now but many one off short stories he's contributed to literature compellations are disgusting
It's just disappointing and infuriating as someone who's grown up reading his works.... I'm definitely going to start seeking out more BIPOC and LGBTQ books because I can't keep doing this.
