A PSA about the latest Vulture article to drop about Neil Gaiman -
Do not fucking read it if you are not in a stable state of mind.
Triggers include, but dare I say, are not limited to -
- Sexual assault and misconduct
- Anal, digital, oral, and vaginal rape
- Forced urine/faeces consumption
- Vomit/forced vomit consumption
- Financial abuse
- Gaslighting and manipulation
- Sexual conduct in front of a minor (NG's son)
- Sexual humiliation and degradation
- Disordered eating, anorexia, and bulemia
- Suicide, suicidal ideation
- Self-harm
- Child abuse
- Scientology
- Cult abuse
- Drowning
- Corporeal punishment
- Intentionally painful penetration
- Exploitation
- Grooming
- COVID-19
- Classism
- Overt and implied threats of homelessness
- Endangerment of vulnerable women by parties who knew or suspected harmful behaviour/complicity in harmful behaviour
- Homophobia - specifically, disregarding stated LGBTQIA+ identity during proposition/advances
Most of these things are discussed in explicit detail multiple times.
To be very clear, the above is not a list of allegations, it is subjects that are mentioned within the article. Yes, some of them are the allegations, but not all.
It's harrowing and heartbreaking to read. Even if these are not specifically triggers of yours, I beg, take a second to really have a think about whether you're in a place to take this on.
