Thank you! I was hoping people noticed that. As if GayMan could be that witty; he only has good ideas, but his novels aren't that great, save American Gods, imo. Without Pratchet it would be like all Gaiman's other stuff, which I find a bit by the numbers, tbh (I've read just about all his earlier books).
I watched the first season of the "Sandman" adaptation on Netflix and EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER ended up being gay or bisexual somehow except for one (no exaggeration). I swear you could not even take a step in that series without finding out the pavement was somehow gay too.
Well, at least he created something new with that kind of characters, he didn't take something already existing and switched all characters genders/sexual orientations. I'm not the audience for his work, but nothing wrong with that.
I still don't have any conclusion about the Gaiman allegations, but at the same time, I'm not the one cancelling him. This is all his cohorts doing the cancellation. He chose the bed he slept on.
It continues to be an irony when people like him that said we know all we need to get caught and ask everyone to wait to pass judgement. The very thing they criticized in others.
I despise Gaiman for him pushing Good Omens down a gay love story direction between Sheen and Tenant's characters, I don't think it's something that Sir Terry Pratchett would have written for them.
to be fair. even a hint of sexual misbehavior can kill a career, so i could see an innocent person being forced to cover it up. remember this stuff is usually he said she said and not evidenced based.
not true. If people said something about me that could destroy me i would be tempted to pay too even if it was lies I'm not saying he is innocent. I have no ide if he is or not. I'm just saying that people do pay even if innocent.
Are you telling me that all that virtue signaling and the projection of horrific things upon others, calling them names and label everybody, it's a way to *hide* their monster self? I'm SHOCKED !!
It's funny because they'll be the ones saying "an evil person can't comprehend good" to show how enlightened they are, but they ignore it's not the conservatives seeing racism and sexism in every interaction. Even when you say both sides are projecting, conservatives still expect good first.
Huge Neil gaimen fan. Well used to be. After what he said about ppl upset about deaths look in Netflix I said I'm done. Death was iconic. Just making her a black chick to put a black chick in the show is not groundbreaking or virtueus or brave and stunning. What would have been brave and stunning is make the character look like the comic
Agreed. I'd much rather see a comic accurate depiction. The bit that showed the real hypocrisy there was the argument that the Endless aren't human and their appearances change depending on who is viewing them. That's true enough, and we saw Dream change to a black man when witnessed by his former lover who'd lived in Africa in ancient times. Then we see Death in medieval England, and she's still black. Dream's appearance can change, because he's mostly played by a white guy, but since Death is now a black woman she can't change race to fit the time and place she's in.
If you’re actually familiar with his body of work beyond Sandman, you’d know that he’s always been progressive. His Sandman casting choices have been nothing but on-brand when it comes to him and i wasnt surprised one bit. I liked them all though. To each their own
@@CSQuah He defended people wanting original depictions of their characters once upon a time. When he got Hollywood FU money, he turned heel and more or less called the former fans bigots.
And what he said about Kemi Badenoch. I mean, I get that he has a child who is "different", so he's a little bit triggered , but still. You can't stand in an interview and say that you wish a person (a female person of color at that) "didn't exist" , and expect the majority of people to not do a double-take on it.
@@BillLaBrie How so? Probably more relevant to thank Feminists who wanted to drag everyone over to their side (other than white men) under the guise of "intersectionality". Now its all falling apart, because who'd have thunk it, a bunch of radically different people with divergent goals aren't going to make great bedfellows for any length of time.
Was it a bubble bath? That would change everything, after all the bubbles would cover the naughty bits. Not like they would be touching each other....oh wait.
After the monstrosity that Good Omens Season 2 was, I'm glad they stop production of Season 3. That second season proved Terry was who made the book great, and Neil was just riding on his coattails.
I get you. It's not a matter of blindly accepting the accusations against him, it's a matter of treating someone the way he has treated others. That is fairness. I would even say... equity.
Agreed. I read the first American Gods novel and have a few of his other works available to read, but I found it quite easy to put down and not overly gripping. He spent a fair bit of effort researching various cultures and trying to weave it into an odyssey, but other than a bit of a superficial layer of commentary on modern "Gods", I didn't think there was anything to be overly interested in or get excited about.
He is indeed very talented and he writes unique stories I love to read. He always was an icon for feminism. That is why I feel so upset and betrayed now.
Neil Gaiman and the Seven Accusers--You reap what you sow. Shame because we know there're plenty of terrible women who will throw successful men under the bus for attention and spite.
Yep. Imagine if Johnny Depp hadn't had access to millions of dollars to fight his ex and her lies in court. How many innocent men don't have the same luxury?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Good. I always thought he was good but overrated back in the early Sandman comics days of the 90s. He was never the overblown ego case that McFarlane was, but no one was. Once he went on this "say the socially mandated things vehemently" kick I knew that the pattern was that he was guilty but trying to become safely protected. Didn't happen. I do kind of feel bad that he has fallen now, mainly because I know it'll upset friends of mine who were/are Gaiman's Sandman fanboys and fangirls, but he's done it to himself. So the laugh remains, but the smidge of pity is new.
THIS. He was one of my favorite authors- until he opened his mouth re politics. Glad I dropped him off of my book list before this, just proves I made the right decision
The Sandman was pretty woke already. There were gay characters galore in it. The netflix version went full throttle on the race-swaps though. Imagine taking the iconic pale goth girl that has been the picture of death for 30 years in dozens of stories and artworks and making her and many of the other characters, even men, into black women. Yes, i know the Endless appear to people differently and are usually what they need or want to see, but that was only shown in the show when Morpheus was in hell.
The most interesting thing about the Neil Gaimen situation is that big news networks like NBC,ABC, CBS, and even the BBC (as far as I know) have not covered this story. This baffles me a lot.😳🤔
He forgot that the sword cuts both ways. And that in the identity-obsessed world that we live in, who and what you are are all that matter - not your politics, and not your ideology.
When Terry Pratchett, who was the co-author of Good Omens, was still alive, Gaiman knew better than to Virtue Signal with their work. Pratchett was a man who believed in fairness but had no time for pandering to the mob. Terry was a practically minded man who like myself watched his nation change before his eyes from a country where prejudice was the norm for too many into one of the fairest nations on Earth. Terry would despise the constant victimhood Olympics we endure today and I believe he would not have his name anywhere near Good Omeans season 2. He made the point of saying that angels had no dangley bits and no interest in such Earthly pleasures. This and even the general feeling of season 2 is so un-Pratchett like and they had to wait for his death to feck with his work. For me Gaiman is capable of anything as his eternally selfish arrogance indicates but there must be hard evidence before any judgement can be made by anyone. Even the wicked get worse than they deserve.
I made sure to point out the "Believe all Women" on the GO pages I linger on Enough with the cancel culture crap and Enough to Liars and hypocritical scumbags He fled like a dog with his tail between his legs the second the allegations went viral BELIEVE ALL WOMEN GAIMAN, WHICH IS IT We want our boys to be happy and this is for Terry Pratchett
oh, hey! If it isn¨t consequences of my actions? where have you been all those years? "When the woke inquisition arrives, eventually nobody is pure enough"
Due process aside, I don't think it's ethical to end major productions because of a creator's personal legal issues. They're basically punishing the entire cast and crew (not to mention the fans) for the (alleged) acts of a single individual.
I'm no fan of Gaiman and don't particularly care for his works, but just because a number of women accuse a guy, doesn't make him guilty. Being famous and/or rich these days makes guys like this a target for women, and if a few of a man's acquaintances get together and accuse him of something, it can look damning while having no substance whatsoever. On the flipside of that, if its true about Gaiman, good luck to him, because if his Feminist/DEI supporting friends and colleagues blacklist him, he'll have no else to turn to.
I feel like we've hit the point that when stuff like this happens the discussion becomes about cancel culture, various -isms, and blaming sides. I wonder how many people even think anymore "Did he do it?". Just a thought.
Well that makes me feel better about giving up on Neil Gaiman after meeting him and being struck by his rude and dismissive attitude. (This was at a paid signing btw)
After seeing how he ruined Sandman by pushing this forced diversity nonsense and cheapening the characters, I would say he deserves everything horrible happening to him. I loved Death in the comics and even the animated short…he ruined her with that diversity nonsense. He will go down the rabbit hole just as Joss Whedon did.
He has admitted to enough of the allegations that his poor judgment is not at issue. While some of this stuff is not technically illegal, much of it was certainly immoral. Also, he paid out on NDA's that are not enforceable because an actual crime was involved. There is not so much grey area stuff here... His behavior was manipulative and opportunistic, and yes, predatory. He will never come back from this, and his legacy is now forever tarnished.
When they came for the directors I said nothing When they came for the producers i said nothing When they came for me there was no one left to say anything.
When they came for the directors I said nothing. When they came for the producers I said nothing. When they came back I asked: "Are you sure you've got all the directors and producers?".
He turned his back on his core fans - creating something out of The Sandman that was a shadow of its original self - Constantine gender change was neither needed or wanted .
I know right?! I hated that change. And I like Jenna Coleman, I think she's very charming, but her casting was completely unnecessary and alongside the other casting choices just felt like a slap in the face.
In fairness, they had to change Constantine because JJ Abrams “Bad Robot” had the rights to the character because they were developing their own Constantine tv series at the time..which thankfully never came to pass..(their Constantine was gonna be a black London cop), it’s why the CW show Legends of Tomorrow had to bin their version of Constantine and create a different character for Matt Ryan
Me too, it was seriously overhyped. I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with him; he's written some of my favourite books, some that were middling, and some that were pure trash that were given accolades just cos of who he is.
IIRC, Gaiman did the scripts for the Good Omens adaptation, so maybe Amazon is looking for other writer. Otherwise, I don't care for him at all, he reap what he sow.
I've never seen a photo in which he didn't look like a smug jerk, and that affects my perception when I read someone's work. Can't help it. He was always writing blurbs for Peter Straub's novels (Straub was my favorite novelist), and even seeing Gaiman's name in print just set my teeth on edge. I didn't especially like what he did with Cain and the other DC mystery title characters, either. It *is* fitting that he's being hoisted on his own petard, but I find cancel culture absolutely vile, too. There's no one to root for here.
Disney not making The Graveyard Book is actually great news! This means they won’t race and gender swap the main character into a little black girl who’s more wise than all the ghosts. Give it a few years. Someone else will adapt it eventually.
"Those who preach the loudest" as they say. Guess it's not surprising with how overly progressive adaptations of his work have been, starting with American Gods it seemed like. Good Omens season one was fantastic. 2 was okay, but was very aggressive with The Agenda.
Gaiman wrote some Miracleman tales, and this is probably going to kill the third arc of his Miracleman run, but he didn't create Miracleman and Marvel paid a lot to buy the rights to the character, so they will probably just bring in a different writer. Angela on the other hand, you might be right.
I really liked the first season of Good Omen. Couldn't stomach the second one and quite after 1 or 2 episodes since they went all in on the gay shipping crowd. Btw. in the original book the angel and demon were never gay. More like two agents from opposite powers, who gradually realized they had a lot in common and became friends. But the gay shippers went absolutely nuts over them and of course Amazon listened to the weirdos.
Yep, Same here, loved season one, then ignored the second season after getting a bad vibe from the trailers. Only one book anyway which they did well with.
Terry Pratchett was the soul of Good Omens. They never should have continued it without him. Neil Gaiman is a niche talent. I don't care about his politics. His work is...rubbish with the occasional rare find.
Someone more knowledgeable than me needs to make a chart of these types and how they end up not great. Also, I also don't like when people "come forward" years later. I don't believe people who just come forward for the money without some solid proof. Though I don't like Neil, I also think we need to always stay true to our principles. "Innocent until proven guilty" should be for everyone, and we should not withold it from idiots just because they were to dumb to understand the principle
Anyone who's actually read American Gods would know Gaiman had some skeletons in his closet. In much the same way that readers of It know King probably has a very questionable browser history.
Neil Gaiman, I believe, quietly left it (if you leave noisily you get "declared suppressive") but his father was a well known and important Scientologist within Scientology itself: David Gaiman was his name, or is, im not sure if he's still alive or not.
@@halinakajfoszova4354 I was born into that cult, though only raised in it up to age 13, and when my dad was in it before I was born David Gaiman was his superior. He told me about them a bit, the father and son and that family because I got into comics when I was a teenager and Neil Gaiman wrote sandman so it came up. I never met either of them, or at least I might have when very young because my mum worked in the same place later but if I did I don't have any memory of them.
@@halinakajfoszova4354 yeah...he was one of the few that he remembered fondly actually. (David I mean, he didn't really have much to say about Neil Gaiman good or bad cause he only knew him passingly I think but of course there weren't any of those kinds of accusations against him back then).
I have to say in my opinion Terry Prattchet lowered his level when he cooperated with Gaiman . The books they did together weren't nowhere near his disc world novels who are masterpieces . I devoured every single one of them more then once and mourned that genius greatly . His later works weren't on par with the early ones because of his dementia ,but still way better then Gaimans .
But but but.... How could they cancel him ? He is a feminist and his name is very close to being spelled like gayman.... Maybe if he was just a little bit less cis and less white :c
I wasn't surprised at all to hear the allegations. As much as I like some of his work, much of it also has a lot of weird sexual currents running through it that led me to think he was, in private life, some hyper-sexual weirdo who links sexuality to philosophy and thinks it makes him wiser than average. I know that's probably a weirdly specific thing to say, but it's just the impression I got. It wasn't pure hedonism, it was purposeful. Almost along the lines of Robert California in The Office. And regardless of whether any of this was strictly illegal, I can kinda pat myself on the back for calling it. And I agree re: the cancel culture aspect. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

He fled like a dog with his tail between his legs the second the allegations went viral
BELIEVE ALL WOMEN GAIMAN, WHICH IS IT
We want our boys to be happy and this is for Terry Pratchett
I don't believe anyone.
In sandman a writer had to force himself unto a muse in order to get ideas ....hhhmm
Sounds like he took "write what you know" to heart. Just like another feminist, leslye headland.
oh, hey! If it isn¨t consequences of my actions?
where have you been all those years?
"When the woke inquisition arrives, eventually nobody is pure enough"
Nobody expects the woke inquisition...
I Really Wished this was Niel Drunkman. That man is in Discreet mode right now... Making The Last Of Woke Part 3
You know how ba these people are by the size of their PR and legal teams, the bigger the worse they are.
I'll never forgive him for taking Angela away from the Spawn universe and selling the character to Marvel, who ruined her.
Due process aside, I don't think it's ethical to end major productions because of a creator's personal legal issues. They're basically punishing the entire cast and crew (not to mention the fans) for the (alleged) acts of a single individual.
I'm no fan of Gaiman and don't particularly care for his works, but just because a number of women accuse a guy, doesn't make him guilty. Being famous and/or rich these days makes guys like this a target for women, and if a few of a man's acquaintances get together and accuse him of something, it can look damning while having no substance whatsoever. On the flipside of that, if its true about Gaiman, good luck to him, because if his Feminist/DEI supporting friends and colleagues blacklist him, he'll have no else to turn to.
I'm still pissed he didn't cast Matt Ryan as Constantine, and Jenna Coleman as Death.
I feel like we've hit the point that when stuff like this happens the discussion becomes about cancel culture, various -isms, and blaming sides. I wonder how many people even think anymore "Did he do it?". Just a thought.
Nobody cares. It's just another article to fuel the fires.
Tennent is insufferable and I’m sick of his predictable acting. Mr Smug wokester.
Used to like him. Now can't stand him. x
Give anyone money, power and/or fame, and it's basically a matter of time before they reveal all the demons inside them. Never fails.
SIR Terry Pratchet was right in despising him after all.
I guess he REALLY was a great judge of personalities.
(He was)
Well that makes me feel better about giving up on Neil Gaiman after meeting him and being struck by his rude and dismissive attitude. (This was at a paid signing btw)
After seeing how he ruined Sandman by pushing this forced diversity nonsense and cheapening the characters, I would say he deserves everything horrible happening to him. I loved Death in the comics and even the animated short…he ruined her with that diversity nonsense. He will go down the rabbit hole just as Joss Whedon did.
He has admitted to enough of the allegations that his poor judgment is not at issue. While some of this stuff is not technically illegal, much of it was certainly immoral. Also, he paid out on NDA's that are not enforceable because an actual crime was involved. There is not so much grey area stuff here...
His behavior was manipulative and opportunistic, and yes, predatory. He will never come back from this, and his legacy is now forever tarnished.
When they came for the directors I said nothing
When they came for the producers i said nothing
When they came for me there was no one left to say anything.
When they came for the directors I said nothing.
When they came for the producers I said nothing.
When they came back I asked: "Are you sure you've got all the directors and producers?".
The directors and producers would have said nothing for you.
Oh, this guy's a sweety pie, isn't he? Congratulations on 117k!!!
Allegations.
Like the Allegations about Justin roiland.
How did they work out?
Neil Gaiman must face the rules he himself advocated for. Pardon me if I shed no tears.
Great vid!
He turned his back on his core fans - creating something out of The Sandman that was a shadow of its original self - Constantine gender change was neither needed or wanted .
I know right?! I hated that change. And I like Jenna Coleman, I think she's very charming, but her casting was completely unnecessary and alongside the other casting choices just felt like a slap in the face.
In fairness, they had to change Constantine because JJ Abrams “Bad Robot” had the rights to the character because they were developing their own Constantine tv series at the time..which thankfully never came to pass..(their Constantine was gonna be a black London cop), it’s why the CW show Legends of Tomorrow had to bin their version of Constantine and create a different character for Matt Ryan
I read American Gods when it first came out because people gushed about it. I thought it sucked.
Me too, it was seriously overhyped. I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with him; he's written some of my favourite books, some that were middling, and some that were pure trash that were given accolades just cos of who he is.
IIRC, Gaiman did the scripts for the Good Omens adaptation, so maybe Amazon is looking for other writer.
Otherwise, I don't care for him at all, he reap what he sow.
Like everyone else, innocent until proven guilty, but being a male feminist isn't helping his case.
I've never seen a photo in which he didn't look like a smug jerk, and that affects my perception when I read someone's work. Can't help it. He was always writing blurbs for Peter Straub's novels (Straub was my favorite novelist), and even seeing Gaiman's name in print just set my teeth on edge. I didn't especially like what he did with Cain and the other DC mystery title characters, either. It *is* fitting that he's being hoisted on his own petard, but I find cancel culture absolutely vile, too. There's no one to root for here.
He's no longer useful to Hollywood so he can be thrown out.
Disney not making
The Graveyard Book is actually great news!
This means they won’t race and gender swap the main character into a little black girl who’s more wise than all the ghosts.
Give it a few years.
Someone else will adapt it eventually.
Believe all women, except when it happens to me.
"Those who preach the loudest" as they say. Guess it's not surprising with how overly progressive adaptations of his work have been, starting with American Gods it seemed like. Good Omens season one was fantastic. 2 was okay, but was very aggressive with The Agenda.
Rip Miracleman Rip Angela.....woke Marvel never gonna use you again.
Gaiman wrote some Miracleman tales, and this is probably going to kill the third arc of his Miracleman run, but he didn't create Miracleman and Marvel paid a lot to buy the rights to the character, so they will probably just bring in a different writer. Angela on the other hand, you might be right.
I really liked the first season of Good Omen. Couldn't stomach the second one and quite after 1 or 2 episodes since they went all in on the gay shipping crowd.
Btw. in the original book the angel and demon were never gay. More like two agents from opposite powers, who gradually realized they had a lot in common and became friends. But the gay shippers went absolutely nuts over them and of course Amazon listened to the weirdos.
Yep, Same here, loved season one, then ignored the second season after getting a bad vibe from the trailers. Only one book anyway which they did well with.
so is this what the kids these days call a
>believe all women!
>no not like that!
moment?
Omens was creepy in season 2 and not the good type.
@@orthopedix6202 It had good bits but seriously making Aziraphale and Crawley gay was just totally unjustified.
Terry Pratchett was the soul of Good Omens. They never should have continued it without him. Neil Gaiman is a niche talent. I don't care about his politics. His work is...rubbish with the occasional rare find.
Someone more knowledgeable than me needs to make a chart of these types and how they end up not great. Also, I also don't like when people "come forward" years later. I don't believe people who just come forward for the money without some solid proof.
Though I don't like Neil, I also think we need to always stay true to our principles. "Innocent until proven guilty" should be for everyone, and we should not withold it from idiots just because they were to dumb to understand the principle
Cancelled by me as well.
Anyone who's actually read American Gods would know Gaiman had some skeletons in his closet. In much the same way that readers of It know King probably has a very questionable browser history.
Like Scar getting devoured by the hyenas.
When you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
I didn't even know they _made_ a season 2. Season 1 was meh.
Neil Gaiman, I believe, quietly left it (if you leave noisily you get "declared suppressive") but his father was a well known and important Scientologist within Scientology itself: David Gaiman was his name, or is, im not sure if he's still alive or not.
I remember reading that on wiki (i know, i know) and that put me off him straight away
@@halinakajfoszova4354 I was born into that cult, though only raised in it up to age 13, and when my dad was in it before I was born David Gaiman was his superior. He told me about them a bit, the father and son and that family because I got into comics when I was a teenager and Neil Gaiman wrote sandman so it came up. I never met either of them, or at least I might have when very young because my mum worked in the same place later but if I did I don't have any memory of them.
@@rlawrence9838 was your dad treated well by him, or not really?
@@halinakajfoszova4354 yeah...he was one of the few that he remembered fondly actually. (David I mean, he didn't really have much to say about Neil Gaiman good or bad cause he only knew him passingly I think but of course there weren't any of those kinds of accusations against him back then).
@@rlawrence9838 fair enough, and I'm glad he was kind to your dad 😊
Still can’t believe this is the same author behind Coraline.
But are the allegations true or are these women trying to get a check?
Remember, the most important thing is to BELIEVE ALL WOMEN!
Vara Dark - Dark Titan Media, amazing video keep up the amazing content
Hoist with his own petard.
I have to say in my opinion Terry Prattchet lowered his level when he cooperated with Gaiman . The books they did together weren't nowhere near his disc world novels who are masterpieces . I devoured every single one of them more then once and mourned that genius greatly . His later works weren't on par with the early ones because of his dementia ,but still way better then Gaimans .
But but but.... How could they cancel him ? He is a feminist and his name is very close to being spelled like gayman.... Maybe if he was just a little bit less cis and less white :c
Nothing more satisfying than one of the "believe all women" crowd getting their just and deserved comeuppance 😅
I wasn't surprised at all to hear the allegations. As much as I like some of his work, much of it also has a lot of weird sexual currents running through it that led me to think he was, in private life, some hyper-sexual weirdo who links sexuality to philosophy and thinks it makes him wiser than average. I know that's probably a weirdly specific thing to say, but it's just the impression I got. It wasn't pure hedonism, it was purposeful. Almost along the lines of Robert California in The Office. And regardless of whether any of this was strictly illegal, I can kinda pat myself on the back for calling it.
And I agree re: the cancel culture aspect. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Just wasted 60 bucks on funko fusion to find out it has an umbrella academy level. I ain't playing that trash. Can't get a refund because I downloaded it. What? Didn't they just refund concord?
