I’m assuming this is about Neil Gaiman. 9 women, the youngest being 18, have come forward and he made them sign NDA’s [Content Warning]. Even if it was consensual the stuff he’s admitted to doing is just awful. As a girl, I have every right to be angry that people like him view women as toys to use and abuse.
My point still stands. If there’s evidence that someone has done terrible things, then most reasonable people aren’t going to stick up for that person. I’m not sure what relevance not knowing the people involved has. Normal people are angry at Neo Nazis even though they may not know one personally.

God damnit. I told someone recently “at least we’ll have Pratchett and Gaiman in the non-asshole writer zone”.
I’m rather hesitant to talk again…
Nope. Purely in the abstract. It happens a lot on social media. The Gaiman thing is just one example.

Hearsay constitutes weak evidence.
