Someting I once wrote about Lovecraft (and Gaiman) came to mind, because of a Cthulhu drawing by the genius Kim Holm, and his own thoughts on HPL:
Re: Gaiman. I love the writing of H.P. Lovecraft. Though there is no doubt that he was racist and antisemitic far beyond what can be explained by the times. I would go further though. Like my compatriot Hamsun, I would argue that his writing is not good despite his racism, but because of it.
Their anxieties and fears lay at the heart of the stories they tell. The fear of the unknown, the abominable, and the, in every meaning of the word, foreign, is at the heart of the horror that lies trembling at the core of Lovecraft’s stories.
Lovecraft’s stories are not stories about horror. They are stories steeped IN horror. The world and humanity truly scares and repulses him, and that fear and loathing is what makes what could have been whimsical and silly entertainment, good (though not great) art.
I have never been a great fan of Gaiman, though I haved read most of his novels. He is a stellar world builder, but his stories always came across as sloppily plotted, and somehow hollow at the core. He is great at describing the magical, but to me it seems like he does not feel it.
Perhaps, somewhere down the line, new generations will discover him, and marvel at how a monster could create such beauty. But to be honest I don’t think so. Because I always found cleverness in his writing. But never beauty.
Gaiman’s art is as much about the construction of his public persona, as it is about his writing. And I suspect his writing is not by far good enough to survive the fall of that public persona.
He was the nice and kind goth uncle, whose stories the kids loved listening to. And no matter how sweet his voice is, the same stories from the rapist uncle just don’t sound the same.

When it comes to fiction I really enjoy really overt anthropomorphic characterization of ideas and concepts. Instantly recognizable, understandable while leaving you to wonder how far the idea/concept can be taken.
Am I thinking of this because I've just started Pratchett's Death sub-series and am watching Sandman? Proooobably

"We often discuss the need to separate the art from the artist, but you just can't separate Neil Gaiman and his reported abusive actions towards women from his self-insert character, Morpheus."
I sympathize with the innocent cast and crew whose work is tainted by just one person, but I won't be watching the second season.

lol, tbf Gaiman being as massive creep didn't help!
You cannot separate the Art from the Artist because the art is the expression of the artist.
Otherwise you've just got some meaningless AI slop that expresses no living being. -

Gerade löst der „Sandman“-Trailer so ein „Naja, vielleicht kann man's ja trotzdem ansehen“-Gefühl aus, da verklagt Neil #Gaiman eine Frau, die ihn der sexuellen Nötigung beschuldigt, auf $500.000, weil sie ihre Verschwiegenheitserklärung gebrochen habe.
Netflix sollte ihn wegen Sabotage verklagen. -

GOOD OMENS
Después de descubrir que #Gaiman es una mierda más en este mundo podrido donde solo queda dar las gracias por las obras maestras que nos deja la parte que merecía la pena de su ser (y donde ya puede irse a tomar por culo y dejar de joder el mundo), comparto esta(s) ilustración(es) de esta gran serie.
Aquí, una (ex)fan que defiende que no se puede separar obra de autor. Púdrete, Neil. #Aziraphale y #Gabriel no tienen la culpa.

...og det er jo jaggu ikke noen garanti for at man ikke blir skuffa over sine tegneseriehelter av ulike årsaker.
(Gløtter mørkt i retning av Neil #Gaiman, Warren Ellis, Karine Haaland og Tatsuya Ishida).

Ta Terra Felix, Sarmatia warta
Wiecznych podróży, pióra i lutni.
Istnieje przecież – wsparta na barkach
Bóstwa o rysach okrutnych.Jestem ze dwa pokolenia młodszy od powołanych w tekście "kaczmarofilów". Zdecydowanie nie jestem humanistycznym erudytą. A jednak Mury i część piosenek z czasu stanu wojennego były mocno formacyjne dla mnie i moich rówieśników.
Potem była przerwa, bo jakoś mi Kaczmarski dźwięczał "kirindżowo" wtedy. Dopiero "Sarmatia" i "Dwie skały" spowodowały, że go zacząłem cenić, szczególnie jako jednego z mistrzów języka. Nigdy nie wpadłem w kult taki, jaki mi się przydarzył z Wysockim (300 piosenek na dysku, puszczane losowo i na okrągło przez kilka lat), ale do dzisiaj, męcząc się z jakimś tekstem, wzdycham do tej precyzji i ekspresji, jaką podpatrywałem u Kaczmarskiego.Powoli i niechętnie przyjmowałem do wiadomości, że te piękne kwiaty rosły na mierzwie i zgniliźnie. No, niby człowiek pamiętał Rilkego z jego demonami i aniołami. Ale to bardziej - w duchu romantycznym - było rozumiane jako cierpienia samego artysty. Sam, zmagający się (od pewnego wieku) z przekazem przemocowym, nie dopuszczałem myśli, że te demony także poetę mogły doprowadzać do rzucania meblami, wylewania furii na słabszych i szukania ukojenia w poczuciu władzy.
A jednak. Komu więcej dano, od tego się także więcej wymaga. Żyję teraz z dysonansem, z którym jeszcze nie wiem, co zrobię. I nie jest to jedynie sprawa Kaczmarskiego. Nie śledzę mrocznych odkryć w tej materii, ale nie sposób przeoczyć choćby przypadku Gaimana. I nie sposób przypuszczać, że są to pojedyncze anomalie.
Jak sobie z tym poradzić? Na pewno nie przez wyparcie, czy zabliźnianie ran błoną podłości. Zdecydowanie pora sobie powiedzieć, co z dziedzictwa tego czy owego mistrza biorę dla siebie, a co odrzucam. Co przyjmuję jako moje, a czemu się sprzeciwiam. I jasno to wyrazić. Czyż nie na tym polega dojrzewanie?
Natomiast w przestrzeni wspólnej jest potrzeba sprawiedliwości restytutywnej. Oprócz jasnego uhonorowania osób skrzywdzonych - choćby poprzez odpowiednie noty w każdym wydaniu dzieła - w dzisiejszej zmonetyzowanej rzeczywistości należałoby tych, co ciągną zyski ze spuścizny opartej na krzywdzie skłonić, aby te zyski przeznaczyli na zadośćuczynienie - nie tylko bezpośrednim ofiarom, ale wszystkim im podobnym. Nie każdy winowajca był geniuszem, nie każdy pozostawił po sobie złotodajne prawa autorskie. Niech te profity służą innym, których gnębiciele nie wygrali na loterii sławy i bogactwa.
Dopiero wtedy my - jednostki, społeczeństwo, ludzkość - będziemy mogli zacząć przepracowywać nasze bałwochwalstwo wobec tytanów wszelakich.

Ever since the whole #Gaiman thing exploded this week, I've had one of my old favorite #DresdenDolls songs going on repeat in my brain. Every time I notice what song my head is playing, it brings back memories of that horrifying article. I need to catch another earworm asap.

CW: link to description of SA, Neil Gaiman
The sexual assault allegations against Neil Gaiman (new ones) - you don't need to read the article. It's awful.
And the things that he is willing to admit to are horrible enough.
But it's a useful reminder that successful predators are successful because they can turn it on and off. They select and choose. The little voice at the back of your head? Not likely to go off if they don't see you or someone around you as potential victim.
They know how to be decent human beings, because they can cosplay at it.

The screenshot is a post by a friend, who prefers to remain anonymous, from several years ago. It's horribly relevant again, for obvious reasons.
I'd prefer to know, on the whole. Particularly when the artist in question is still alive: I may (or may not) still be able to enjoy their art that I already have, but I want to know whose pockets to avoid lining. Once they're dead, "separate the art from the artist" becomes a lot easier for me.
Of course I'd far rather there were nothing *to* know. I wish with all my heart that Edgar Rice #Burroughs and HP #Lovecraft were not raging racists, that Marion Zimmer #Bradley were not at the very least an enabler of child molestation and perhaps† a molester herself, that Joss #Whedon were a feminist in deed as well as word, that JK #Rowling believed the messages about equality and inclusion she gave a whole generation of children and their parents, that Neil #Gaiman were a kind and decent person who created mythologies to tell thoughtful stories about the human condition. But since they are what they are and were what they were, that's not an option.
There are writers I still regard as role models *as writers* even if I don't care for them much as people. Not monsters, for the most part, just garden-variety jerks. The way they put words together speaks to me, as I want my words to speak to my readers. I'm not in a hurry to give up what they've taught me by example.
Still. I don't have a whole lot of money to spend, and I'd rather that what I do have go to people I don't despise. Knowing is almost always better.

CW: gaiman
I'm reading many people in the wake of the NG article commenting on how surprising this is from such a "strong ally."
My feeling is that the whole idea of allyship is flawed. It requires people to eliminate themselves, and to perform a role. The people who embrace that with both hands, and put themselves in the spotlight performing that role are exactly the kind of people to watch out for.
You are selecting for sociopathy.

Have not fact-checked:
"Just a heads up for peeps, if you bought a Neil Gaiman audiobook from Audible, they are allowing refunds for them with no questions asked and no matter how long ago you bought them. I don’t even have an active subscription and they gave me credits back for two titles purchased in 2020." #Gaiman #bookstodon

Det er en fin bonus når en god kunstner også viser seg å være ok. Gaiman har framstått sånn.
Men hvis bare *litt* av det som står her stemmer:
https://archive.ph/2n1F6Mønsteret er maktubalanse, sadisme, og manglende samtykke. Motsetninga er stor til Gaimans budskap i både kunst og ord.
Når man leser artikkelen går tankene ubønnhørlig til to av de mest avskylige karakterene #Gaiman sjøl har skapt, forfatterne Erasmus Fry og Ric Madoc i "Calliope" (1990).

Not only did she not know it, it's pretty clear she didn't know it.
She had no contact whatsoever with #Gaiman between 2020 and 2022, 2022 is when the Pavlovich revealed to #Palmer what happened. That is a bit after Palmer says to her friend the comment about discovering and uncovering what a monster he'd been this whole time.
It is quite clear that Palmer is unaware that Gaiman is a serial rapist until right before their divorce begins.

A propósito del nuevo artículo sobre Gaiman, vamos a recordar a @scalzi y sus sabias palabras al respecto:

2. Dejemos atrás todos los ídolos
3. No dejes que nadie te idolatrehttps://whatever.scalzi.com/2024/08/15/please-dont-idolize-me-or-anyone-really/

CW: Sex Abuse Neil Gaiman
Content Warning, Sex Abuse.
If you are a survivor, or in any way triggered by Sex Abuse, now is the perfect time to mute the word #Gaiman across all your social media and news feeds.
If any of it is true, he needs to be jailed, long, cold, damp, for the rest of his life.
All his work is relegated to the trash heap. What a garbage human being.
