I have conflicted feelings on this, because on the one hand, abusers tend to be really good at image maintenance, so yeah, a lot of people can't tell. And it can be really destabilizing to realize that someone you like has done terrible things, which means that as a defense mechanism, people actively try not to realize it.

On the other hand, once you've had experience with abusers, it is possible to tell that something is off with some people. Hell, even when you haven't had that experience, there are some people who set off subtle alarms. My feeling is that we get taught to ignore those senses, or conversely, to overwhelm them by assuming everyone is a predator. We miss flags that we would have caught had we been schooled otherwise.

In the case of Gaiman, I know some people who've thought he was creepy for years. They probably have something to teach all of us.

DA There is a big difference between a bit creepy and sexual abuser. Yes, I didn't like his social media behavior. I thought he is too self-important and seeks attention from his young fans. Yes, I thought their marriage with AP was toxic. But still it is absolutely not the same as raping and financially abusing countless women.

But creepiness is often a predictor of twisted sexual behavior. It's where the whole bad vibe stems from.

There is "finds young women sexualy attractive" (and does nothing about, or drops old wife for a young lover etc), "seeks young fan's adoration" and there is "brutally rapes a woman with his son present".
Also a lot that people read as creepy behavior is just someone being mentally ill, or nd, or awkward or sheltered. None of this things are morally wrong
