There Is No Safe Word: How the best-selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman hid the darkest parts of himself for decades.

Jump

  • In real life you can talk to people that you know and see things with your own eyes. This is better than essays written by anonymous people on the internet.

  • I have downvotes because I dare to contradict this gibbering mob.

    • Neuters of Lemmy : Do you enjoy romcoms?

    Jump

  • All the biological sex stuff

  • Until you actually meet the witnesses or see the evidence, that's all you've got. A story.

    You could suspend judgment.

    You don't actually need to have a hate party. It's so 1984.

  • If I'm going to revile somebody, yes.

    • Neuters of Lemmy : Do you enjoy romcoms?

    Jump

  • No none of it. All the glands and appliances removed. Which leads us to my question.

    Lacking all that, would romcoms be boring?

  • I see stuff and meet people in real life, actually.

  • A person without any sexual attributes.

  • I am only criticizing you people actually. There's a lot of room for criticism. Your whole process is retarded.

    And yes, you are going after Neil like a mob of 12th century potato farmers.

    • You read an article, written by somebody you never met, accusing a person you never met, citing evidence you never saw. Now you feel angry at the accused person. What does that make you?

    Jump

  • Hearsay constitutes weak evidence.

  • You literally only know that because you heard somebody say it

  • I'm not familiar. But ya, same idea.

    I'd attribute it to that willingness to believe, but I'd take it a step further. An eagerness to believe. An eagerness to enjoy the high of a good anger. Outweighing any loyalty to reality.

  • Nope. Purely in the abstract. It happens a lot on social media. The Gaiman thing is just one example.

  • That's depressing.

    I have a giant flatulant zombie alligator in my living room. Of course I'm going to feed it regularly.

    • If a vampire asks you if they may enter your home, and you answer "you may not" ...

    Jump

  • The statement is more of a ritual appliance. I think the intent is key.

  • Actually yes. Before I condemn somebody I insist upon meeting the fellow, interviewing the witnesses and seeing the evidence.

  • First, people love to burn witches. Screw any moral, logical or aesthetic implications. They can't even spell it. They just want a witch to burn.

    Second, people love to cut down anybody taller then them. And Neil Gaiman is a very tall fellow.

    All that love, it's inevitable.
