Neil Gaiman
Came here for this one. Fuck "separate the art from the artist." I will never read one of his books again.
If he wasn't preachy/performative about his "feminism" it wouldn't be as awful
Feminism is in quotes because IMO he doesn't believe what he preaches
He believes it, he just doesn't practice it.
Like most men in power, they use it as a way to get close to people they can assert their power or dominance over.
I think he believes he's actually a feminist. it's a subtle difference, but an important one. He genuinely believes he's a good guy and the things he does helps more women than it hurts.
That's why he's a piece of shit and so dangerous. He believes his own lies.
Yep. And to think I used to admire him. I've had some modest success as a published science fiction and fantasy writer, and I specifically cited him as inspiration for one of my published stories.
Wish I could take it back.
Same
too bad he really 2 good series going on, the series cancelled them both, not because of his sexual harrasment/assaults, now they cant continue due to publicity anyways.
