Anyone else amused about how he is such a pro MeToo and BelieveAllWomen supporter he can’t bring himself to say his accusers are lying

Not that anon, but I do not recall where "you are required to allow leftists to do anything they want, but you can never retaliate" was written. You escalated a knife fight to a gun fight. Nobody is required to stick to knives anymore, especially when you keep shooting. This is what you fought for.

Given that your solution seems to be "sit back and let leftists do anything they want," and what you are reacting to is only "it's funny to watch an enemy by hoist by his own petard" without actually participating in the cancelling, I'm gonna go ahead and guess you are not actually any kind of centerist, so your defection or whatever is irrelevant.

Same here. You have a point but he's not proven guilty of anything yet. Don't overdo it.

>>145522758
Not quite. At least two people have come out and said something. However, it is an article written by Boris the Liar's sister, who is a mental case that could for all we know have coached them. She went out of her way to defend Ghislane Maxwell and said she was a patsy for the men. The fact there might be double standards in the court of public opinion not withstanding, this is not true, Maxwell was a willing and deliberate sexual predator and groomer.

Stranger things have happened.
But we don't know anything yet. He's innocent until proven guilty, but he looks a bit fishy right now.

>>145523259
See above.

Also it's not deplatforming or cancel culture, because that's a mob of people using threats of violence or the law to force someone into stepping down or censoring art. It's a single reporter and a couple of people making allegations, but there's nobody sending death threats or joining in and encouraging that sort of thing. That's how I'm defining it because it needs to be defined or else it's a buzzword.

I apologise for the mass replies but this is getting silly in all corners.

Also I see a lot of people claiming 'you invented cancel culture not us!' when 1. this isn't cancel culture anyway, 2. censorship mobs have been a thing throughout history and 3. yes, the right wing have had a big hand in it.

See: Life of Brian; right wingers sent death threats to the Pythons. And now we see sanctimonious left wingers dismissing it.

But that's all I'm gonna say on that. And thankfully it's a mostly American-restricted thing at any rate because we're so much better getting the police to do it for us ¬.¬

That's a shame. I don't really like his Miracleman that much especially compared to Moore's run but I still want to see how Gaiman would finish the story.

His dad was the fucking UK branch head and despite what Gaiman claims now, he pays them regularly so he's still in to some degree. Probably a contributor to him surviving for so long despite it being known for years that he's a major creeper.

I'm not assuming Gaiman is guilty of these sexual assault allegations, but why would you offer to step down from a production because of libel? That is, assuming your dipshit screencap is accurate, I feel slightly dirty even responding to it regardless of whether it is.

Season 1 was okay but season 2 upped the twee to a sickening degree and the central story being a gay romance between an angel and a demon and lesbian side-story was way too much.

Tried to jew Gaiman out of money by saying Gaiman would retain creator writes over the character then started saying otherwise and wouldn't pay him for reprintings of stuff that he worked on.
>>
>>145522636
He's a shit writer and maybe now people can stop pretending that he isn't.
Seriously - before I read any Gaiman, all I heard about him is that he was an amazing writer and a genius and you HAVE to read <insert something he worked on>. I liked the Coraline film adaptation, so I read through a bunch of his works. What a crock of shit. Neverwhere was *okay*, but most of his books fucking suck ass. Coraline is one of the few movies that is actually better than the book because they trimmed out all the fat. American Gods was a wimper of a wet fart of a book that took forever to build up to the most anticlimactic ending of all time. I have zero interest in watching the show after that. There's some potential behind the concepts he comes up with, but his actual execution is painfully bad. It makes me wonder if the people who enjoy his writing actually read other books?
Is this an emperor's new clothes situation?

>Neil years later thinks he should get a share the profits derived from the co-created characters originating from his guest writer issue, Todd doesn’t agree even though he was supposedly big on treating creators better, lawsuit ensues. For context Angela and Cogliostro were made to be pretty major characters in Spawn lore and had numerous toys, etc. made of them in the years following Spawn #9
>Eventually the two settle by Todd getting all rights to medieval spawn, Cogliostro, Angela and Neil gets rights to the Marvelman IP Todd owns, only later it turns out Todd just had copyright to the logo, etc. (which is an entirely different mess dealing with IP rights). Later Todd breaks the deal with Neil anyway and then loses in court when Neil sues him over it.
>Todd meanwhile had tried to do a workaround where he just did essentially created shameless ripoffs of medieval Spawn (called Dark Age Spawn) and Angela (called Tiffany) that were so blatant that the judge easily said yeah that’s bullshit Todd this is clearly a case of you trying to circumvent how copyright works
>Eventually Neil and Todd finish litigation, Angela is given to Neil and Neil in need of money agrees to sell Angela to Marvel because he didn’t give a shit about doing comics with Angela, he was after his fair share of profits

And it isn’t even the only time Todd has has legal problems over characters he’s created.

>I read Neverwhere and watched Stardust which made me dislike his quirky worldbuilding with no rhyme or reason cause MAGIK!
At least the prose in Neverwhere was actually tolerable. Most of the rest of his books read like an aspie telling you about how they went to the store one time.
>>
>>145536708
Studios aren’t very eager to go forward with adaptations when the author is embroiled in bad PR disaster. In case of Good Omens Neil was also creatively involved in making the show but would, I assume, like to see the show keep moving forward in production for the next season by personally stepping down from working on the project. This would for example ensure people working on the show wouldn’t be out of a job because of Neil’s personal sexual misconduct allegations lead to postponing/canceling the show’s next season

And, as an American, I can't claim to know the current lines in the sand of British political parties. I barely followed that Brexit fiasco. I honestly can't even stand the parties in the US these days, nevermind the pissing match across the pond.
I'm actually somewhat surprised it is a British reporter, no matter the party, going after Gaiman. I thought he spent most of his days here in the US. Tho I know he was in New Zealand for a number of years. I think it's where some of these abuses -allegedly- happened.
>>
>>145536652
Todd put out the first few issues of Spawn claiming that writers were unimportant hacks and even attended conventions to have debates with writers. Then after realizing that most of the Image books were flopping quickly with no qualified writer on any books, Todd then begged famouscwriters like Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore to write some books, particularly on Spawn to give Image some legitimacy. He promised both writers complete creative freedom to do whatever they want and had been claiming that Neil could have creative writes over any character he created. So Neil then creates two MAJOR characters for Spawn ilthat are important to the story and begins getting royalty checks as practicly co-creator because Angela and Cogliostro integral. Todd then realizes he fucked up and doesn't want to pay Neil for any of the comics, reprints, movies, games, toys, or even the TV show, claiming that Neil was simply a work for hire... something Todd had said otherwise to Neil everyone else when he first founded Image as a creator owned company. Todd then gets sued and loses. And Neil is awarded the character of Angela, who he didn't care about outside of the checks he was owed. He then sells Angela to Marvel as a fuck you to Todd.

So? That was obviously a fuck you to Todd. It seems like he didn't particularly care about the creative aspect, he just wanted his royalties.

He was upset he wasn't getting royalties for a variant of an action figure. Todd claiming work for hire only happened AFTER Neil threatened to sue him. If not for that, Neil would still be getting random, periodic checks from Todd to this day.
Despite the whole case being open ground for people who worked for Todd to sue him, not a single one did. Because Todd's gratuity checks are a better deal for most of those writers and artists than they'd get elsewhere. Only Gaiman took offense because DC paid him more.

Funny, when he made Death black, they couldn’t suck his dick fast enough. One accusation and they are ready to toss him under the bus.
