Hmm tämä ensimmäinen postaukseni voisi kai käsitellä Terry Pratchettia. En ole lukenut näitä kirjoja noin 20 vuoteen, mutta todellisesta maailmasta kuuluu niin ällöttäviä uutisia, että halusin siirtyä Kiekkomaailmaan! Varmaan Neil Gaimanin kauheus oli myös yksi alitajuinen syy siihen, että nämä alkoivat yhtäkkkiä kiinnostaa. Tykkääkö joku muu TP :n kirjoista? Mikä on paras Discworld-romaani? Ja muutenkin: mitä kannattaa lukea jos NG ei enää maistu? #kirjamastodon #terrypratchett #neilgaiman
Neil Gaiman is a harrowing reminder that writing does NOT heal your trauma. Writing for an audience is not "therapeutic."
Journaling can be a part of your healing toolbox, and some professional projects can be cathartic, but powerful writing says nothing about whether or how you are handling your own trauma.
Artists are not mystically superior highly-evolved beings. Some are compartmentalizing, or hiding in their work.
This is from an article by arch-transphobe Graham Linehan, written about Neil Gaiman (alluding that he knew Gaiman was a sexual predator simply because he was pro-trans)....
Irrespective of his reprehensibly bigoted views, the overall conclusion I draw is that Linehan is a thoroughly unlikable & nasty piece of work....
#JohnScalzi hat sich letztes Jahr schon als Ausnahme erwiesen, weil er sich als langjähriger Freund von #NeilGaiman traute, öffentlich seine erste vorsichtige Reaktionen auf die Tortoise Media-Berichte zu Neils sexuellen Übergriffigkeiten zu teilen. Johns Blogeintrag von dieser Woche ist keine leichte Kost, aber beachtenswert.
Meine Verarbeitungs-Binsenweisheit: Privileg und Erfolg kann Mensch genauso zerformen wie Leid und Mangel.

By the way, the trouble with whisper networks is that they cause people without social connections to be chosen as victims.
It seems like every time we find out that some creator or another is actually a horrible human being, there’s a lot of “they were never any good to begin with” or “I never liked their works anyway” discourse. And even though I understand the urge to say something like that, I don’t think it’s productive or helpful for the people who are essentially in mourning for stories or worlds that have been poisoned by their creators’ conduct. I think those kinds of statements are mostly to prop up the people who are making them at the expense of fans who have been really let down.
Anyway, all that is just to say that even though I personally was never really a #neilgaiman girlie, I sincerely believe that he was, and is, a talented writer, and I’m sorry if you’re now looking at your collection of his books with the same kind of dismay with which I was looking at my Harry Potter books after JK Rowling turned out to be the David Duke of transphobes. Even if it isn’t exactly the same, I know how it feels and it sucks.
