GLUB GLUB GLUB!!!!

if it takes too long for them to meet this criteria to get the abortion well... maybe they didn't need one after all. abortions have a high regret rate after all. it's probably for the best. it's really important that we postpone these procedures for as long as possible. :)

It's weird this isn't talked about more, but Elon basically kidnapped his son. He used his lawyers to near bankrupt Grimes in her custody battle and it's unclear if she has any access to her son at this point.

This was a website to help women learn about their reproductive rights in the US and to find health care.

This is absolutely disgusting so I’ll share in this post some resources in case you need them:

The signs WERE all there from the beginning, from interviews to her personal life to the work itself. So when the mask finally came off for good, our eyes were shot open to all the red flags.

And a lot of folks keep expecting that same revelation every single time another beloved artist turns out to be a bastard. But here's the thing; Rowling is an outlier. Most predators are nowhere near as unsubtle. And everyone telling you all these "solutions" to make sure you don't get hurt again are in willful denial of this

"Don't trust charming people", "don't trust people who declare themselves allies of this or that cause", "charisma is a red flag". All of that may be true, but lemme tell ya - it won't save you.

Because here's the uncomfortable truth: there were zero signs. I followed Gaiman for years, both with his work and here on tumblr. Never noticed a single red flag - and looking back, I can't think of a single sign. And the same can be said for all of you.

Her 1 black man in the books was called Shacklebolt (Shackles like a slave wears), her Irish character was a pyromaniac, her Chinese character was called something very similar to an anti-Chinese saying.

Yea there isn't much in her children's books but there's a ton more in the adult stories she's writing under the name of the man who invented electroshock therapy.

Both of them had different red flags & pretending that JKR hate is "insane twisting" of her works isn't helping anyone.

Putting down one victim for another isn't helping.

Abuser groom their witnesses just as much as they groom their victims, they lie to everyone.

Pretty much no abusers are gonna go around saying that they're abusers.

And in us pointing out red flags from Gaiman, we need to be wary of not painting victims in the same brush.

Lots of people write about unseemly things

You know who else would write about an "evil nanny seducing the father of the boy she was looking after & they fuck in front of the boy"?

The nanny that got groomed by the man who hired her & thinks she's "evil" or the boy who watched his nanny & dad having sex.

Lots of women who were the 11 year olds who "seduced" grown men grow up to write stories like that.

I've seen people talk about how "Lovely Bones" has the same red flags as Gaiman but the writer of lovely bones is a victim processing their trauma.

Putting down one victim for another isn't helping.

- I haven’t done that anywhere

Abuser groom their witnesses just as much as they groom their victims, they lie to everyone.

- yes, and fans are not witnesses or victims. You were not groomed.

Pretty much no abusers are gonna go around saying that they're abusers.

- but lots of them have red flags like Gaiman did

And in us pointing out red flags from Gaiman, we need to be wary of not painting victims in the same brush.

- You’re correct. It’s important that we never turn analyzing red flags into a reason why victims “should have known better”. But most of his worst victims were not fans, but employees. What I and others like me hope to accomplish is to prevent men like Gaiman from being worshipped as a woke king, which definitely contributed to his success as a predator. By pointing out red flags, maybe when the next Gaiman comes around, people will be less starstruck and more ready to believe his victims sooner.

Lots of people write about unseemly things

- and I’m tired of apologists like you pretending that we’re all as stupid as you are and cannot possibly tell the difference between “unseemly” things being condemned vs “unseemly” things being excused or worse, eroticized. Also fuck you sideways for calling pedophilia and rape “unseemly”. Like, do you hear yourself?

You know who else would write about an "evil nanny seducing the father of the boy she was looking after & they fuck in front of the boy"? The nanny that got groomed by the man who hired her & thinks she's "evil" or the boy who watched his nanny & dad having sex.

- on behalf of all women and children that have ever been sexually abused/raped. Fuck you. Absolutely just fuck yourself with barbed wire you absolute ghoul. When I read that scene in “Ocean at the End of the Lane” I was still a big fan. I’d loved the book up until that point. That scene turned my stomach. It was the last thing of his I ever read. That scene is not how a survivor writes. It’s how a predator writes and I knew it in 2018 and I know it now.

Lots of women who were the 11 year olds who "seduced" grown men grow up to write stories like that.

- again, no they do not. They write from the perspective of a victim, not the voyeuristic perspective of a perverted male predator. People that don’t have holes in their brain can see the difference. How fucking dare you compare female survivors writing about their trauma with eroticized rape apologia.

I've seen people talk about how "Lovely Bones" has the same red flags as Gaiman but the writer of lovely bones is a victim processing their trauma.

- so this is a comparison you’re confidently making despite having read neither book? I just want to let that sit for a second. You’ve read neither book but you heard people say they were the same? Well pal I’ve read both and I can confidently say you and the people you heard that from are disgusting rape apologists that might also be illiterate.

Not everything that we say are red flags when it comes to Gaiman are red flags for everyone so we can't just say "well he wrote about X we should've known he was bad" cuz other people do write that stuff & they're not the same as him

If you’re literate, you’ll be able to tell that JKR was tackling the brainwashing that marginalized groups go through. She was showing how disturbing it is to witness. Those are not scenes to normalize slavery. They are meant to highlight how horrifying it is to see people complicit in their own subjugation. Real slaves frequently convinced themselves that it was normal and okay to cope. But really, it’s clear they are a metaphor for women. Who happily declare themselves men’s domestic slaves and often resist feminism. And of COURSE Hermione got pushback. That’s what happens in an unjust society that normalized slavery! We made fun of the girl that passed around environmental petitions in my school. As a piece of context you might not have, and this is the only one I’ll forgive you, is that in the 90s, nothing was less cool than caring. You live in a generation of “activists”. But the 90s was the chill skater/stoner yeah whatever dude era. If you cared about a cause, you were going to face exactly what Hermione did from her peers.

Anyway moving on! I haven’t read the books in years but even I remember it was Draco Malfoy, a VILLAIN AND BULLY that made the comment about more kids than they could afford. This is why I accuse you people of being either illiterate or deliberate liars. You mean a bad guy said something MEAN!?? If you want a book where no one is mean to anyone, may I suggest “Goodnight Moon”?

The fact that you think Molly Weasley is portrayed as “kind and dumb” means you’re either a liar or you never actually read the books and are just parroting what you’ve heard. This is a character that is never portrayed as stupid. She is deeply involved with a dangerous resistance group, and avenged her son’s death in the last book. As in this “kind and dumb” character fucking slayed a major villain.

It’s also overlooking professor Sprout, an intelligent and not especially kind professor.

Most of her worst female villains are very feminine and/or thin. See: Rita Skeeter, Umbrage, Aunt Petunia, Bellatrix

Do you always look at powerful black people in fiction and immediately think “well he would have been a slave hundreds of years ago” and then desperately search the text for any possible allusion to that fact? Shacklebolt used to be an Auror and his name is the equivalent of naming him “Charlie Handcuffs”. Jesus fuck you kids are racist.

Her Irish character was only a pyro in the movies. And even if it happened in the books, he was still blowing up WAY less stuff than the Weasley Twins. He was, even by the least charitable reading, the third most destructive student.

You people used to claim Cho Chang was racist because it was an impossible name. When people pointed out it was entirely possible, now I guess this is what you changed the rhetoric to. Which anti Chinese saying? In what language? Can you even tell me?

“There’s a lot more in her adult stories” but you still chose to go on about her kids books and didn’t list a single thing from her adult books. Do you mean the evil cross dresser? That is actually just a cis man that briefly wears a women’s coat to disappear in a crowd? That one?

Let’s revisit the reason JKR used a pen name in the first place before we cover why the other shit is wrong. See, when JKR wrote her first adult novel it got panned by critics. Several wrote deeply sexist articles about how she should “stick to children’s novels”.

She used a male pen name and suddenly her books were getting rave reviews! Once again, she faced sexism in the industry and overcame it.

The straw you people are grasping at is how Robert Galbraith is close to Robert Galbraith Heath, an American psychiatrist that did not invent electroshock therapy. He worked on projects that used electroshock to ‘treat’ homosexuality. Which was tragically normal back in the 30s-70s while he worked. That was sadly standard treatment for the era and he was not a standout actor. He was also retired by the time JKR was old enough to read and in a different country and not particularly famous. It is INSANE to think she should have been aware of this man.

But for real though. Do you think no one named Percy Jackson has ever committed a crime in human history? If I find a record of someone named Percy Jackson doing a bad thing does that mean the author of the Percy Jackson books is evil???

and tras wonder why we don’t want these freaks in our spaces…
