I don't like this

Neil Gaiman is a rapist.

I've been hoping there would eventually be an easier source to link than the original podcast or its unaffiliated transcripts (as of writing July 11, the first 3 of 4 are transcribed), but apparently no news source wants to say something.

I did not listen to the podcast, nor read more than the first episode transcript, because even just that was harrowing and the following episodes get worse (I've read quotes and summaries). Even just that first episode (transcript) was more than enough.

I'm barely present on Dreamwidth at the best of times and was never a fan of Gaiman myself, so I initially read this post without commenting, but I find myself coming back because the complete wall of silence around this whole thing is increasingly disheartening and depressing. I really don't expect individuals in fandom to feel obliged to post on things like this, but the blanket silence from all the SFF/comics pros and outlets I usually see being all over this kind of news and loud about it is just really grim.

So I guess this is just a comment to say I am also here, having picked up just enough on the periphery to know that this is really awful and finding the complete lack of acknowledgement from people who usually talk a lot about this kind of news awful as well.
