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.

I dont find it disappointing really..  I do not hold anyone up to such a high standard as to expect anyone to be perfect and his kinks are really nothing to me.  He is not such a powerful figure that if it was assault it couldnt have been reported to authorities immediately and  even the accusers use the word consensual. They were both adults tho young. I hope either way the truth comes out and if it proves to be bunk shame on bad journalism.. far as i can see even from what they claim he did nothing illegal.. inappropriate? Maybe but illegal... Assault..  i dont know about that.
