      Just Google “Neil Gaiman” and “scandal” for more context, but basically he used his position as a popular artist to do some gross, sex pest stuff.

        I am going to need you to clarify your point here. Quickly.

          I cannot reply to the original comment anymore, so I will say this here: having intrusive thoughts about SA’ing people is not normal, and you can get help for such things. If you experience anything like that, please please please get therapy.

            [Personal Note] I removed the comment primarily because this isn’t the proper venue for that debate. Maybe we all misunderstood and maybe we didn’t. Irrelevant. Please remember that this is meant to be a safe space to goof around in. Such matters of mental health are important and should be discussed honestly and openly, just not here. Debate about forgiveness for past SA transgressions is also DEFINITELY not a subject matter for this space.

            It’s almost like I said “some level of intrusive thoughts” and you immediately jumped to me condoning sexual assault.

            Like there’s an inability to process degrees of trouble, and a desire to run everything as hard as possible to the worst conclusion when you hear something you don’t like.

            But I’m sure I’ve already been banned.

              all you had to do was not be vague, and you’re still doing it.

        wait, what point are you actually trying to make about the subject at hand here?

          It seems pretty clear that they have a significant amount of intrusive thoughts about sexual assault and think that abusing people from a position of power isn’t bad enough to merit removing Neil Gaiman from “nerd canon.”

          Honestly, it’s stomach-turning enough to make me think they’re just trolling.

            that was my first impression, and my immediate reaction was “that can’t possibly be it”. i’m going to hope against hope that an explanation is forthcoming.

        im going to need you to clarify what the fuck your trying to say? rumors are very different from accusations, and we need to take those seriously. if your suggesting that rapists should get less severe punishments, you will be banned.
