    They are talking about this thread despite denying that they are talking about it. And it would be a better denial if they weren’t literally arguing in a thread about a rapist that we can’t trust the article about him for this very reason.

      Yeah, I guess I can understand the cognitive dissonance making people want to deny everything, but it doesn’t seem like there’s much room to doubt the veracity of the case against Gaiman. Really, that article has been a long time coming. Anyone paying much attention to Amanda Palmer (Gaiman’s ex-wife) has had plenty of clues this was coming, even if the full extent of the sheer depravity of the details weren’t publicly known until now.

      Also, I haven’t read the Vulture article yet, but from what I’ve heard, it makes it sound like Palmer was complicit. She has also withdrawn from public places/platforms (like from her Patreon) since its publication.

        She was complicit, and unless you have a strong stomach, I would not read the article. Let’s just say the multiple rapes also included his kinks involving bodily fluids. In the worst ways possible. It’s something I cannot unread.
