'The Sandman' writer Neil Gaiman accused of sexual assault by 9 women: Report
New allegations of assault against \
The Vulture article delves deep into the potential whys. It appears he suffered serious abuse by his parents who were very prominent Scientologists, pretty much the leaders of the cult in the UK.
Then, as an adult, he refused any kind of therapy. Instead, he became an abuser himself, even going so far as to potentially traumatize his own son.
None of that excuses his behaviour. He's obviously very intelligent and his works show that he knew very well that what he did was evil and inexcusable. He wrote a chapter of Sandman about this exact thing! But in the end he just didn't care. Because he probably thinks he's rich, he's famous and the rules don't apply to him.
Kill your heroes
If I ever run into them at Walmart I will.
Jesus christ. Didnt he do Marvel 1610 or something?
chrissakes
That is so bad, but man I hope they don't cancel Sandman
I agree, not just because I enjoyed the show, but it seemed like it was a fantastic opportunity for many of the people that worked on it. Gaiman's shit behavior shouldn't spoil the hard work of the hundreds of people involved in the show.
They already cancelled its spinoff show Dead Boy Detectives. And from what I understand, Gaiman was pretty closely involved in the production of Sandman, so continuing the show without him probably wouldn't be so simple. I'd say, just assume it's dead and done now and save yourself the disappointment later.
Aw dang, Dead boy detective was so good too! bless it. Why can't we have nice things 😭
It was a Netflix series, of course they'll cancel it.
If they haven't already filmed it and done the effects, it's probably canceled. They might even shelve it anyway.
