      I can’t be the only one wondering what the heck just happened with Neil Gaiman.

      He was supposed to be one of the good ones.

      I would not call it a controversy. Call it what it is – a pattern of abuse by a man who presented himself as an ally.

      Yes, he was supposed to be one of the good ones. That does not change what he did.

          I never called you the bad guy. Controversy suggests all those women are liars. This is exactly what lets men like him get away with it.

        Alleged pattern of abuse – nothing’s been proven. What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

          This is why women hesitate to come forward about abuse ffs

      Its not just me then

      I’ve been seriously bummed out about it since the news broke. Now I’m not sure I want to keep my collection of books and comics that have his name on them.

        Hurt and disappointed is how I feel.

        There are no easy answers for us fans.

      I have struggled to know how to feel about this developing news story. After some struggle, I have come to believe all heroes fall and Gaiman is no different. Yes, I feel hurt and disappointed but perhaps I should not be as surprised as I am.

      Here’s my blogpost on the subject for those who are interested.

      All heroes fall in the end

      DL;DR: All heroes fall; let us assume less and ask more; thus being better people.
