It's OK if you're not up for looking at the specifics, but please do examine who you're holding in a place of deification. It's time to bulldoze all those pedestals in your mind.

I've met celebrities and they really are just people, I promise. No better and often much worse than the rest of us.

Hero worship gives individuals more power & fewer checks/balances.

I'm not saying it's the fault of fans in any way—this is on Gaiman for being a disgusting abuser—but the level of love ppl had for him made it harder for survivors to come forward.

I'm glad it's out in the light of day now.
