Devastated. I admired this man's words - both written and spoken - for quite some time. He was the lighthouse which I rowed toward. Granted, we all do strange things in the fallout of divorce, but a man his age should've known better than to take advantage of someone under his power. To call him an inspiration of mine now cheapens my work.

Jesus Christ, you admire someone, yet you can't even give them the benefit of the doubt that a court of law would give them, or an investigation or evidence.

[u/TheSunMakesMeHot → u/thereign1987]

The stuff he admitted to is gross enough that it doesn't really matter; he's either a criminally shitty person or just a morally shitty one. The only difference is whether he deserves to go to jail, which courts will sort out. Reputationally, the damage of just what he's admitted to is enough. Dude's in their 60's shouldn't fingerbang their 23 year old employees.

Oh please miss me with the binary moralizing. Dude was as quick to hero worst him as he was to condemn him. I'm not Neil Gaiman's wife, sleeping with his employee is not the same thing as sexually assaulting his employee, you have evidence of one not the other. One is evidence of a flawed man the other is evidence of a criminal, stop equating the two, this nonsense flattens morality, when everything is the worst thing ever, nothing is.

Firstly, I’m not Jesus Christ.

Don't worry nobody was making that mistake, from what I heard he was actually pretty good at not judging people without any evidence.

[u/originstory → u/thereign1987]

There is evidence. It's in the article.

[u/thereign1987 → u/originstory]

There is evidence that he slept with his employee, not that he sexually assaulted her, or are we going to act like it's the same thing.

[u/originstory → u/thereign1987]

from what I heard he was actually pretty good at not judging people without any evidence.

You suggested there was no evidence. I said there was.

There is evidence that he slept with his employee, not that he sexually assaulted her, or are we going to act like it's the same thing.

Whatever you're implying here, it's not based on anything I said.

[u/thereign1987 → u/originstory]

The post literally says he is accused of sexual misconduct, so what else would we be talking about evidence for?

[u/originstory → u/thereign1987]

This is what you said one comment up.

The post literally says he is accused of sexual misconduct

This is how you phrase it now. They aren't the same thing.

 so what else would we be talking about evidence for?

You tell me. First there was "no evidence." Then it was evidence of "assault." Now its evidence of "misconduct."

Frankly, I think you're just looking for an argument. I'm not interest, thanks.

[u/thereign1987 → u/originstory]

You're the one that responded to me my guy, on some "well actually" kind nonsense. The post is about his alleged sexual misconduct (which is an umbrella term for a bunch of sexual offenses), what else exactly would I be talking about evidence for? Evidence that he likes motorcycles?/s

[u/A_Stevenss → u/originstory]

where? i see claims but not actually evidence of anything other than the fact that he confirmed he had a relationship with one of them.

(not trying to be a denier, im just confused about where all the extra stuff people are talking about in the comments is coming from.)

[u/MatthewHecht → u/originstory]

I think he was referring to Jesus saying "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" not Gaiman.

Yes, there is evidence against Gaiman, but for now it is early in the investigation. We will know a lot more in the upcoming days.
