    On the ethereal plane, Sir Pterry is standing with his head bowed.

    “I thought I knew him…” he laments.

    Death puts his hand on his shoulder and says “IT’S OKAY, I STILL KNOW HIM.”

      Wasn’t the woman that accused Neil deGrasse Tyson of sexual misconduct and it was literally nothing and she was just trying to get him in trouble for no reason.

      I’m not saying that I don’t believe it I’m just saying that I’ve met him, and it doesn’t fit very well with his character.

        I’ve met him, and it doesn’t fit very well with his character.

        if you’re judging famous people’s character by their public persona, or the “face” they put on for their fans and the press, then you’re in for a bad time. see also: bill cosby, kevin spacey, andrew cuomo, chris cuomo–i’m leaving out a lot–the point is “i’ve met him” means basically nothing

        i’ve known/worked with more than one person who everyone loved and thought was a great guy. and then NOPE arrested for CSAM

    Damnit. This always sucks to hear but it sucks even more when it’s someone who’s work is (was) enjoyable.

      I choose to continue to enjoy the work of people who turned out to be shitheads from before learning that they are shitheads. Michael Jackson, Phil Anselmo, now Neil Gaiman (actually, last year for him). All people who created great art that I enjoy and whose future work I will not consume (for the ones that are still alive). To be clear, MJ is only before the allegations. Thriller still kicks ass.

        I don’t enjoy supporting the artist even if the art is good and don’t buy into this argument. If you support the art, the artist is still making money off of it. Unless they are dead I guess…

      My reaction as well. At least Terry Pratchett left us too early but he is not touched by any of this shit.

      I meant it as him and Gaiman being friends.

      Power is pretty corrupting and anyone who is a famous person (as in, public enough to maintain fame as opposed to just broad recognition) probably has a bit of an ego.

      I mean your average normal person would be like “Don’t idolise me, I’m just someone who writes books you like. Now please leave me alone” not posting on tumblr to adoring young fans.

    An old friend’s favourite story about Neil gaiman is how he asked a question during a book signing and NG apparently came over the table at him.

    Now I have a guess as to the question!

    You fucking dick head. Can’t you people just not assault women? Is it that fucking hard?

    Edit: and I get these are just allegations - innocent until proven guilty… But like damn dude. 3 women?
