Terry Pratchett Estate removes Neil Gaiman from Good Omens Kickstarter

  • The allegations put forth are that they DID resist, and his defense is that he didn't abuse anyone. As usual it will be decided on who has the better lawyers.

    Sure, if you believe that he was totally blindsided and all these women never once said no. I can see how you might be baffled.

    However, the history and volume of these incidents suggests a pattern of behavior.

    The point I was trying to make is that he might not suffer legal consequences, but it sucks that one of the "good ones" may be (or has been) a massive sex pest for a long time and now the world is a little darker for it

  • I feel your skepticism ma dude, and I really wish it was all untrue because it feels like we have fewer and fewer roles models left. If it was one woman making these claims, then yeah without evidence it's a he said/she said standoff for the lawyers. But 15.... Damn that not just smoke, it's a fuckin forest fire.

    You are entitled to keep your thoughts on his innocence until a court case - unless it's settled privately, in which case, who knows- but I guess you have to ask yourself what is more plausible at this point. That there's has been a dark side to him that the public never knew about or that all these women are out to get this guy, to go through the spectacle and media circus.

    If you are still thinking, ah their just playing victims and are in it to get something. Money? Attention? Okay.... but ALL of them?!

    Personally, what I find just as horrible is finding out that the comic biz has the same sort of enablers and public image cleaners that Hollywood does. God damnit... Things are never going to change.

    Sony removes PlayStation account requirement from 4 single-player Steam games

  • Huh... Did not have money on Sony blinking on this. Happy to be wrong. Guess that Steam revenue was getting threatened.

    Proton Mail says it’s “politically neutral” while praising Republican Party

  • Same. It's little more difficult to say goodbye to simplelogin when my partner and I have like 150+ aliases and the subdomain use is SO convenient. Trying to eventually move the family to Addy.IO

    Should I avoid communities on lemmy.ml?

  • You are correct, I think there are quite a few moderate instances out there.

    The inner struggle to self curate comes down to summoning the effort between being on passive autopilot and the desire to not fall into an echo chamber by actively listening and participating.

    Personally, I'm less scared about getting my feelings hurt and more the need to not be such a lazy fuck;)
