Neil Gaiman accusations

[beatrice_otter]

Apart from the original podcast, there hasn't been much reporting done. I think the best piece is Manufacturing consent by Annabel Ross, which details both why the allegations are credible, the fact that Amanda Palmer (Neil Gaiman's ex who apparently knew some of it and did nothing) has some culpability, and also the problems in the reporting on the original podcast.

Thanks for sharing, it's hard to find information on this outside of Twitter (which I don't use) and FFA (which is... a lot, often).

You're welcome! This has not been as widely reported on as it should have, because these are very credible accusations.

Thank you for the link! I don't think I have the guts to listen to the actual podcasts, so this provided helpful context.

You're welcome! I got the link through the Rec Center email--https://buttondown.email/the-rec-center

I would not be able to listen to the podcast myself either, holy cow.

thank you for linking this. the little i’d read about the situation was horrifying enough that i figured the podcast itself was a no-go for me, and i also appreciate someone taking a critical look at how the information was presented.

You're welcome! Yeah, I'm not gonna be able to listen to that podcast either, and there are a lot of people who can't.
