from wikipedia:

Claire described non-consensual kissing and groping by Gaiman after meeting him at a book tour event, as well as a $60,000 payment from Gaiman to her in August 2022.[176] A woman identified as “K”, who also first met Gaiman at a book signing, said that during their relationship he subjected her to painful sex that she “neither wanted nor enjoyed”.[21][177]

Scarlett Pavlovich, a former nanny for Gaiman and Palmer’s child, alleges that Gaiman sexually assaulted her within hours of their first meeting in February 2022.[177] Pavlovich recalled that he said, “Amanda told me I couldn’t have you” after the assault; according to one of Palmer’s friends, Palmer had previously told Gaiman, “You could really hurt this person and break her; keep your hands off of her”. Pavlovich said that Gaiman had anal sex with her in the presence of his son.[21]

Caroline Wallner, a former tenant of Gaiman’s, alleges that he demanded sexual favours in exchange for being allowed to continue living on his property.[21][178] Wallner says that on one occasion, Gaiman grabbed her hand and placed it on his penis while his young son was asleep in the same bed.[21] In 2021, Wallner, her ex-husband, and Gaiman signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), and Gaiman paid Wallner $275,000. In early 2025, Gaiman and Wallner both requested arbitration, the dispute resolution method mandated by the NDA, each accusing the other of violating the agreement.[179]

The writer Julia Hobsbawm accused Gaiman of “an aggressive, unwanted pass” and described how Gaiman pushed her onto a sofa and French kissed her in 1986.[178][180]

and something that made it really fucking obvious, if it wasn’t already:

In a blog post responding to coverage of the allegations against him, Gaiman said there were “moments I half-recognise and moments I don’t”.

he doesn’t even fucking try to deny it

E: something else that pisses me off is this part:

Gaiman has denied engaging in non-consensual sex, and dismissed Hobsbawm’s allegations as misreading the situation.[178][180]

If she says he sexually assaulted her and he says she fucking misread the situation, then he sexually assaulted her. are you fucking kidding me. the most good-faith interpretation is that he misread the situation an assaulted her without intending to do so, but given the track-record and the fact that he says that she misread the situation instead of being horrified at himself, I am willing to extend absolutely no good faith. </rant>

unfortunately Neil Gaiman is still alive and benefits directly from things like purchases, so no. You cannot mikufy an author who benefits.

Ok so I checked and it looks to be AI slop but I am not against the idea. Trading in some convenience for a little whimsy can be a good trade to make.

I feel like this comic becomes more relatable the worse the world gets and I don’t really know what to make of that

Listing things someone said isn’t slander?

yeah I mean this is essentially what I wanted to express here. Being an ecofascist makes no sense because you’d essentially be killing all the humans to protect the humans.

a Houyhnhnm, and calling them an animal is pretty disrespectful

humans are the major cause for human collapse. the environment will survive… mostly

You should prob see a doctor after that, it’s gonna give you an insane infection

I think there are some more appropriate chumbawamba songs about Hegseth

who says that about any search engine? can you trust them? searXNG is usually run by random people who are less likely to use your data than a larger search company

you were too funny 😔

van der Lubbe did nothing wrong and does not deserve this hate. The nazis would have found an excuse to grab power anyway, this just sped it up. Also, “doused in flammable liquids” my ass, he tried setting multiple things on fire including reportedly his own clothes because the building wouldn’t catch. He was one of a small number of heroes who tried to resist the nazis early and gets punished for it because some dipshit tankies wrote a book saying he was gay¹.

then I hereby declare you a cloudflare-independent lemmy user

I am on dbzer0 which does not depend on cloudflare. I do not know if there is any other way to get around it unfortunately.

welcome back to the cloudflare-dependent users ^ ^

So you’re angry people make things for free? Am I getting that right? Just don’t use free things if you think they’re unethical I suppose…
