    Doesn’t season 2 of the sandman come out in a couple weeks? Doesnt really seem like he’s being boycotted.

      I can’t tell if I’m allowed to be excited about it because I love Sandman but Gaiman is a creep.

        I love the sandman. I have yearned for an adaptation for years. Then we get one and it’s actually good. Not good for comic book TV. Actually GOOD good.

        And then the show goes and gets himself and the show cancelled because he’d a fucking sex creep. Fuck you Neil.

        Also, fuck you Amanda fucking Palmer. It took a while before we found out, but you’ve been complicit in this fucking stuff for ages.

        Honestly, I’m developing massive trust issues, I’m starting to reflexively fear liking stuff because I’m pretty sure one of the people involved with it is going to turn out to be a massive predator any minute now.

          As someone who loves the graphic novels, the show just didn’t do it for me. I don’t think any show could do it justice.

          It wasn’t bad or anything, but it was lacking something that made the books so special imo

        While still a bad person, what Gaiman did limited to a number of people, not a number of countries, also his work is actually good, not half-baked garbage only held up by nostalgia.

        it’s easy to complain about death of the author when you don’t care about their work.

        but even you do, even just enjoying it a bit, it’s a bit harder.

        you can pirate it, you get to enjoy it and they get no revenue from it. but then engaging with the content is free advertising, so just watch it and keep it to yourself.

          i’m a believer that we should just consider the works forfeited to the public domain and let the author’s name be forgotten to time, let the future think of it as we think about german fairytales.

            we should bring back old copyright limits of 14 years. or probably less, like 5 years.

            then it wouldn’t matter at all what an author says.

            Kudos for Tom Lether for putting all his songs into the public domain so it doesn’t get bounced around for 70 years after his death.
