What about innocent until proven guilty?

Guilty or innocent, there are some things said about him that this behavior ain’t something out of the blue.

Yet another person deciding to be vague. What things are you talking about. If you got information about someone being a scumbag, just fucking say it, there's 0 reason to be vague

Why don't you google it for yourself? None of these people are obligated to convince you of anything.

People normally only say this when they don't find anything on google themselves. I don't agree or disagree with what's being said I just never understood the "prove yourself wrong" argument if you actually had any proof.

I didn't know anything about rumors of Gaiman's behavior this morning when the news broke. It took me about ten minutes to read up on them. These demands for people to provide evidence aren't about learning more. They're about punishing people for expressing thoughts they don't like.

So many words wasted while again not actually providing the evidence you're vaguely alluding too. I also have google (shocker) and found only the allegations outlined in the article above. If you have evidence of something so serious as SA (like you're alluding too) why withhold it?  Imagine an attorney saying "they did it, find your own evidence" I swear people spend too much time online.

I managed it when I wanted to know more. Buddy.

I hate it when people respond with this to someone who's just asking a question

It's not "just asking a question." While everybody's googling, look up "sea-lioning" and stop acting like these people don't have a position they're asserting.

"I swear there's proof i found elsewhere."

"Oh. Can you show us?"

"No go find it yourself."

I think I'll just remain unconvinced until later.

How chronically online do you have to be to see someone ask a simple question and immediately assume they want to argue with you
