The reason we constantly post about the Gaiman allegations whenever we mention Good Omens is to warn potential new fans about him. We're not doing it to make anybody feel bad for liking the show. We still like it, too. (Although, if you want to watch it, please please do pirate or do the biggest watch party you possibly can. :) Honestly we should all be doing that with everything on Amazon anyway lol).

We know it's exhausting and depressing to still be seeing content about him and the allegations. It's even more exhausting and depressing to post about.

We're sick of seeing his his name, too. We wish we could just forget he ever existed.

But sadly, there are SO SO SO MANY fans who still haven't heard about the allegations. It feels like general knowledge to those of us who have known about it for a long time, but it really isn't.

Thanks to his very expensive PR team, you can scroll a long long long long long long time without seeing so much as a whisper about it. It's terrifying to think of how many new fans are about to sucked into the Gaiman universe without knowing what he's capable of.

no. it's not him.

it was an entirely separate man, a british journalist, who was also, apparently accused of something in the past, who seems to have taken it upon himself to absolve Gaiman of all the crimes, or, maybe even hired by Neil's PR damage control people, despite what he said that he's never been in contact with TechnoPathology (which might be kinda true if the blogger was approached by Neil's PR people, but who even trusts what this guy says anymore?).

anyway, his other pen name is Donovan Volk, real name Christopher Court-Dobson.

here's some info from this thread on bluesky:

this was screenshotted from Google search results by the same person as in the quote above:

There's more proof here (bluesky thread) with screenshots and his photo.

So, to sum this up, it's not one pathetic man, it's two. One projecting his shit onto another, and the other one using the first one as a shield.

and let's not forget, these are Neil's PR damage control people:

There's more stuff on Chris that can be found at least on bluesky. Judging by how easily searchable all this was, he was probably super expendable, but people who have been keeping an eye on this situation say that most of his past articles have been scrubbed from the internet, so maybe he is trying to cover up his ass now.

In any case, it could be very, very convenient for Gaiman that there is this very public fool who could attract all the attention and rage. But the fact that he's had access to some private stuff posted in those articles makes me doubt that he was never approached or paid to do this. And at the same time this same fact made everyone doubt that the second guy existed at all, and the hate was still directed at Gaiman.

i’m sorry to be That Person but this feels like my responsibility as a good omens fan??

The USA is the land of delulu where they think if they sick a lawyer on someone to intimidate them into doing something it will motivate them to make it go away

The whole Mafia style intimidation......

Do people in the USA realize that it's literally one of the only countries in the world where you can litigate like that?

You can't even do that in my country unless a law has been violated, the crime has been proven in an evidentiary court of law, and you are seeking compensatory damages

I hope he counter sues

Isn't it amazing how all of this came out right around the time he was renegotiating the terms for season three of his latest program....... And then for some weird reason it got cancelled?

Suing someone in civil court is something you can do in many countries.

You cannot sue people using this type of litigation situation in New Zealand due to our liability laws only allowing compensation in the case of a criminal conviction, so it is being done overseas

Screams being advised by someone from the United States which would not surprise me at all

It's literally just not done here at all, Americans who have come here have tried it and the judges simply throw it out of court and tell them to get a grip

And yes the announcement for season 2 of the sandman has only just recently come out as being the final season so negotiations were in fact taking place when these allegations were made public

I imagine the smear campaign is being done on behalf of Netflix in order to prevent him from taking the series elsewhere so he may not be able to profit from the series which lets face it was a very big deal for Netflix to get because that thing went all the way to number one viewership ratings for several weeks

My guess is Netflix wanted to make a specific set of changes to the storyline that kneel did not agree with

This just screams avatar the last airbender live action departure of the writers and creators all over again

I can't claim to be familiar with NZ civil court but nothing in this link mentions the requirement for a criminal conviction.

Oh so you were talking about The Sandman, rather than Good Omens. The Sandman also wasn't in negotiation in July. At that point, S2 was in post-production. Netflix almost never renews for another season until after airing, as their main metric for renewal is viewing figures. The crew already suspected it S2 would be the last season and had planned it to be such before the allegations came out.

The idea this is a smear campaign by Netflix is... A first, I've got to say. So you're saying Netflix has found women connected to Gaiman over a 30 year period and... What exactly? Paid them to lie about him sexually assaulting them? But then how would that explain the messages, emails and voice notes. And the NDAs. This is a very grand conspiracy over what wasn't even that high of a performing show by Netflix's standards.

You might want to start looking into how Netflix is connected to Israel before you start making presumptions that this is some sort of grand anything

Especially when this type of blackmail literally mirrors what the Mossad did with Epstein......

I'm also not going to be a space for advertising and propagating this type of rumour milling when none of the details have gone through a court of law process

Which to be perfectly honest means that this entire lawsuit should be immediately dismissed due to the fact that they have potentially tainted all of the evidence concerned

If this was a legitimate case where's certifiable evidence, they would not need to be propagating it through the media using social media drops as well as other outlets

The evidence would be able to speak for itself without it ever being necessarily needing to be made public

If she had a solid case she wouldn't need all of that smear against him now would she?

It's one of the major reasons I am of the personal opinion that males should not be left in charge of any seeing important in regards to government and/or safety of the wider public

In order for the Gaimans to have property in New Zealand they would need to have acquired residency and the ability to obtain a New Zealand passport as foreigners cannot own property in this country without significant business investments and since you're not from New Zealand I'm going to point out that unless they lived here for a significant period of time they would not be able to own property, foreigners cannot purchase private property in this country and have not been able to do so for at least 20 years

Just because it's currently being investigated due to allegations by somebody who has actively seeking money does not mean that any of those allegations are true

If this person was truly seeking justice it would not be money they were after, it would be a conviction

Maybe that's just my personal opinion on motivation to get justice for wrongdoing, it's never about the money

When people bring wanting money into it, you know they have an agenda to go after someone's reputation and are possibly being motivated by an entirely different set of factors

If they are prepared to go the absolute distance and never ever receive a monetary reward for it, that my friend is a different kind of rage, one that doesn't die, that is a quest for actual justice

And that is how you can pick apart a fake victim from a real one

The NZ police do not want to pursue the case. Unfortunately, this means money is the only way to punish someone like Neil. Taking him to court will also make more evidence publicly available through discovery. That's why he'll try to settle. I think Scarlett has exactly that kind of rage you mention, personally.

But I also disagree the "real ones never stop". Sometimes you just want to forget and move on with your life, rather than be victimised again and again. People react to trauma in different ways.

There's several other victims who are not suing him (yet). These women did not know each other. They're all different ages. Some of allegations happened decades ago. Then there's also the Whisper Network that has existed around him for decades. Amanda too.
