    I can’t separate artist and art. I feel guilty and angry. But I also don’t want to. Money to them is money to their deeds. Paying for anything Harry Potter is paying for anti-trans movements. Paying anything Gaiman goes to the “fix your image” firm he has hired. Then I start thinking that firm is probably out there with messaging convincing people to separate art from the artist.

      Heres what you can do:

      Encourage people to pirate his shit

      Remind people what he did. In detail.

      Start with me! I know he did… Some rapey shit? Pro ably wizard flavored?

          Wow that’s…

          What strikes me is how boring the abuse was. Like, boiler plate horror. Maybe this does make me think less of him as an author, not just as a person.

            Well I haven’t looked into the 8 other women. But at least one of the others was absolutely raped, and another was paid off in exchange for an NDA

              Right but like ‘call me master’ DUDE

              Fucking do better. Not even be less a piece of shit, but a more interesting piece of shit.

              Like ‘i hired a PI to learn the song you had your first kiss to, then spent a week practicing, so just as the acid and molly kick in…’

              Or, idk, a choir? Some chanting?

                He’s not glamorous he’s an ordinary creep.

                One of them was one of his tenants, when her husband left her and the kids she could no longer pay rent so he made her give him blowjobs. It’s about as unimaginative and textbook as it gets.

                  ordinary creep

                  It looks like, and that’s what’s so extra-disappointing about it.

                  Edit: Say what ypu want about peter thiel, that fucker will end the world if we don’t end him first, but i can respect the weird repressed christofascist homosexuality manifesting in violence-intimacy-grandiose-ambition-hierarchalist blood-boy shit. That’s cool and exciting.

                  I would just… Im not just disappointed that hes a piece of shit, but that he’s such a boring piece of shit. Getting outcreeped by the paypal guys.

        Absolutely agree with pirating. Even buying second hand will keep money from going to their pockets/estates.
