There are two women in this story.

some people are just Big Horny, forever. 

He suggested that Gaiman would blame autism* for his actions, in the same way that Mel Gibson blamed alcoholism for his racist tirades/domestic abuse.  He didn’t imply that autistic people are all rapists.

Well, technically speaking, not *now* Run the Series. I did two of them last month!

Reportedly Spielberg told him after the premiere “I thought I was the only one who could make one of these. You proved me wrong.”

I actually liked Dial of Destiny a lot more than I was expecting, but I do have two major issues with it:

Fixed that ranking for you.

Yeah, but you also say a lot of dumb shit, so are you surprised people don’t listen to you?

But the open relationship isn’t the problem here.  It’s Gaiman allegedly being a creep. 

“I don’t know why you would stay in a relationship where you are having sex you don’t want to have...”

it is really difficult to be sex positive these days

At this point I’d be more surprised if we heard of extremely successful men who haven’t assaulted women.

Don’t worry i’m sure you’ll get the chance to dismiss the accounts of many more women!

Amanda Palmer said the nanny was the 14th woman to complain about him to her. Oof. Imagine how many didn’t in that time period. This is why an “open relationship” with a narcissist, sociopath, or psychopath is generally a poor idea.

The reputation management agency he had ready to go when this broke sure gets a smelly message across!

They’re definitely doing this for shitty reasons, but Gaiman himself is admitting to the encounters and just claiming they were consensual, which is... questionable given that one of them was with a nanny 40 years his junior and it happened within hours of her starting on the job.

Ah shit. No means no.

What?  You don’t cuddle with your new nanny in the bath after hiring them?  

Plenty of people in open relationships don’t commit sexual assault.  Not saying Gaiman is innocent but it’s this sorta attitude that gets innocent peoples railroaded as “sexual deviants”. 

Scarlett alleges that Gaiman assaulted her within hours of their meeting in his New Zealand residence in February 2022, when she was hired as a nanny for his child. The two apparently shared a bath where, according to Gaiman, they only “cuddled” and “made out” with consent.”
