Gaiman recently gave a shoutout to a substack user for meticulously doing research to prove his innocence re: the allegations.
I've now read a good bunch of those articles. Not only are they badly and condescendingly written, but they come off like the writer has no idea how abuse works at all.
"oh you were happy one time? You like being around the powerful person who manipulated you? You said "yes" even though he controls the situation? You feel bad and miss him? I don't see any abuse here!"
Condescending as hell.
Oh the writer also falls for the "Gaiman advocates for the marginalized, so maybe these allegations are motivated by tearing a good trans ally down" angle that so many men in power use to scare their victims from speaking up. These kind of men like touting their feminism for a reason, dude.
I'm fascinated by the middling reviews for Iron Lung I'm seeing so far. I do have my reservations on where markiplier is currently at as a creative and I think he's very aware of those limitations. The guy gave himself a premise a seasoned director would find challenging, and he did that as a debut!
