I'm not really using a gear, just responding to what you're saying.
Support him or don't, as you please. Am I assuming he's guilty? No, but
the story seemed credible and was being investigated seriously. At this >point, he looks guilty to me.

The way she's been jurisdiction hopping with her lawsuits gives me no confidence. The story, itself, doesn't sound over the top.

You said there was no crime. That may be so, but some people might still >find his actions distasteful enough to lead them to give up his work.

I cannot say there was no crime. I made a comment with regard to your
comment that he could be prosecuted, and I didn't see anything credible
that she was held against her will.

This is the relevance of his popularity already having waned. It's
easier to drop an artist we kind of like, or used to like, than one we >really like.

Are you a Gaiman fan, or are you coming at this more from a men's rights >angle? My main reservation is that people love to say bad things about >celebrities. This isn't just some wild rumor, though. It's a real case.

I've enjoyed a few things and have disliked others.

Are you never going to watch his two Doctor Who-scripted episodes again?

Neil Gaiman's Scandal DESTROYED Good Omens And The Reviews PROVE It!

The show tanked during S2. It's no coincidence that this was when they >>>decided to make the two main characters into a gay couple.

Were those allegations ever proven? At this point, I am assuming
it's another pound MeToo thing.

You mean the Neil Gaiman ones? I don't think anyone has hard evidence,
but Gaiman has essentially admitted it by being vague and cagey, then
going silent.

Sometimes it's best to ignore baseless allegations.

Nothing interesting.

Obsession (theatrical) New horror movie written and directed by Curry

effect. The young man wishes that a woman he likes would love him more >>> than anyone else. She then becomes obsessed with him in ways that I
can't say due to spoilers.

What's there to spoil? This is a trope from the original Twilight Zone.

"The Monkey's Paw" has been around a lot longer than THE TWILIGHT ZONE.

I was thinking of the trope of getting a love potion that works too well.

Heh, I'll be glad to skip "The Doctor's Wife" regardless of who wrote
it. I don't remember the title of the other one, but if it was decent,
I'd watch it.

I also haven't thrown out my copies of Good Omens or a Gaiman short
story collection. Why would I? That wouldn't change anything. That's the
sort of thing one does when the behavior is so revolting that we can't
look past it.

Ian Watkins is probably the classic example there. Most people can't
listen to lostprophets after learning what he did.
