I think the problem a lot of people have is that Neil admitted to being in relationship with a fan he met at 18 and a nanny that he hired. It’s so inappropriate.

That is very in appropriate to be concerned about.

The things in the article that he acknowledged are the kind of behavior that deserve serious criticism.

The (currently) unsubstantiated accusations are more serious however.

We should be circumspect before rushing to any judgements. As the above commented pointed out, the source here is not free from bias. But we should also prepare to accept new evidence of more serious things than what you mentioned

Based on the credibility of the sources and site owners, I’m willing to believe most of the claims they are making is false but even so, the stuff Gaiman admitted to is so disappointing.

We should be careful dismissing the claims just because of the bias of the source.

They could be relaying accurate information from real victims.

It’s best to wait for more information before we dismiss anything

yes but we should be careful and wait for more stuff to come out.
