I mean, lots of people knew that Gaiman slept around and had sex with fans, and that he was doing this long before he divorced his first wife. That was very well-known. Also known, though less well, was that he was a bit of a creep with fans sometimes. Amanda Palmer as a user and grifter, yes, also well known. But I was really blindsided by the abuse and rape. Like, fans threw themselves at him all the time, he had absolutely no need to do that.

Yeah. It's not like everyone assumed he lived like a monk, but they figured that whatever he got up to was consensual, including his open marriage, etc. etc. The man was a literary rock star, he could've had consensual sex until his heart gave out. Clearly that's not what he wanted, though.

Yup. I've never considered them especially good people. I liked Gaiman's work, I loved how he collaborated with artists I like, so I have a lot of his works. But I thought he is arrogant and a bit of a creep towards fans and didn't especially like him as a person. And Palmer seemed like not a person you want as a friend. (I am not into her work) But there is this and there is abuse and rape of vulnerable women.

I didn't know that about Neil Gaiman. Never once heard a rumor like that in the past.
