Please y’all. Listen to the podcast before you accuse Neil or cancel him.
The article was written by the right wing.
The apparent accuser herself said it was consensual.
Believe the victim. The victim said it was consensual. Why are we believing Rachel Johnson who wrote the article, and who happens to be Boris Johnson’s sister?

OK, can I say this?
I'm fucking relieved!
It was starting to feel dystopian that Amazon, Netflix or, until recently, Disney didn't even acknowledge the allegations. And that's so fucked up.
Mind you, I know Amazon is only in it for the money, of course. But the ability to make money in this business depends also on public opinion and if public opinion allows you to go on like nothing happened, then big corporations will go on like nothing happened.
I was chatting with someone here on tumblr recently and I was telling them that I've lived in an alternative universe where Good Omens S3 could be done without the NG's involvement other than handing over the script.
I hope this is the first step in that direction. I hope they buy the script off him and seal the end of his career. The end of him.
I hope that's what happens, but, ultimately, if I had to chose between a GO S3 with NG's involvement or no S3 at all, I would choose no S3 at all.

As a person who has sent Neil Gaiman tumblr asks before, loves Good Omens and trusted he was a good person because of his friendship with Terry Pratchett… Fuck him.
Believe the victims. Always believe the victims. I hope i’ve successfully deleted every mention of him from my blog (though there weren’t many) and I wish I could delete the ask I sent him that he answered.
I don’t care that he’s a good author. I don’t care if he’s your favourite author. He himself said once, believe the victims. What? I guess he doesn’t agree with that anymore.
I won’t mention this again and I don’t want to get into arguments or anything stupid. At the end of the day, I just hope those women get the justice they deserve.

Hello everyone, I know that I should be on break but this is important, please watch this video.
Timothy Heller, a victim of SA returns to the internet after years and speaks about her experience with Melanie Martinez who is her rapist. I'm proud of Timothy for speaking up after years and I hope she gets the justice she deserves. I don't care if Melanie dickriders shit on me and try to prove me that Timothy is a liar. And even if she WAS one, would you really support a possible rapist instead of a possible liar?
I believe the victim, I always will. And even if you don't believe Timothy, keep in mind that Melanie has SA'ed other people and is a bad person in general.

Okay I’m only gonna make this statement once, and if people start harassing me I’m just gonna start blocking. If you don’t agree with me then just leave my blog it’s that simple.
I am incredibly, deeply, disappointed and disgusted in Neil Gaiman. I cannot begin to express my horror and grief for the victims, and I support them 100%.
I have unfollowed/blocked Gaiman on every social media platform.
However. The sandman has been an important part of my life since I was 13 and was a new foster kid. The comics were what me and my oldest sister (now adoptive mother) bonded over. As a system we have introjected Morpheus.
As a result, while I will not be purchasing any comics new, I will continue to pirate the sandman comics online (if anyone would like me to share the site, dm me), as well as reading the comics I already own. I am also doing this because there are a ton of artists and writers who worked on the comics besides Gaiman, and I still enjoy their works.
I will not be purchasing or reading any of his other works, or continue watching his shows.
I will continue to watch dead boy detectives on Netflix as Gaiman is not at all involved in the writing or production of the show.
Again, I’d like to make it very clear that I DO NOT condone Gaiman’s actions, and I understand if people are uncomfortable interacting with his works, regardless of whether or not he benefits from it. I will probably tone down my sandman posting, but I will continue to support fanworks (unofficial art, fanfic).
If this makes you uncomfortable, just block me and move on. Don’t come into my inbox accusing me of not supporting the victims. I am a survivor of SA myself. I know all too well the courage it takes to speak out. Especially when your assault was at the hands of someone with more influence or status than you. I will be reblogging links to donate or share resources for survivors on both this and @archive-of-important-lists.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

I was very pleased with how this sketch turned out, but with all the news about Neil Gaiman, I can't exactly say "happy." Good Omens is still a favorite of mine, and I hope NG's involvement doesn't tarnish Terry Pratchett's legacy. I truly hope he was not in any way complicit in any of it. I suppose we will likely never know. But what I do know is that I believe the victims, and I will not be giving Neil Gaiman any free publicity to bury these allegations. I believe I have removed all NG tags from past posts, but please tell me if you notice anything floating around out there that I've missed.
Funny that there are so many instances in GO of people not being at all what they seem and power corrupting what could have been so wonderful. Talk about telling on yourself...

Having listened to the podcast, waiting for the courts to clear the issue is pointless. The police chose not to investigate because the evidence Scarlett provided reflected a consensual relationship with no indication of abuse. The podcast itself makes it abundantly clear that whether or not you think Neil did anything immoral, the legal case against him is non-existent. This is based on statements by both the police and a defence lawyer they interviewed. The evidence we have now IS the evidence as far as the legal system is concerned. Unless substantial new evidence emerges, the police aren't going to pursue this. I'm pretty sure that the reason the podcast is so aggressively asserting that BDSM is unlawful is that this is the only situation under which Neil could possibly be prosecuted.
Great point anon and I’m glad you put it that way. I can understand that people want to stand with the victim even if the court or the law decided there isn’t enough evidence, but that’s why I encourage people to listen to the podcast because that is where the actual messages and voice messages from the victim are. Listen to the victim herself and then make up your mind.

As someone who has like NG's works for a long time, I completely understand how upsetting this is to many people. I believe the victims and do not support him until further information comes to light.
I am here to let anyone who needs support that I am here. My inbox is open and I'm willing to listen to you vent.
I do not want discourse or arguments in the reblogs or comments. I will disable them if it comes to that. We need to come together and support each other, not fight and tear each other down.
Look out for yourselves and fellow fandom members. We will get through this together. Sending my love to everyone
Edit: I DO NOT want any messages not pertaining to what I'm asking here. I don't want any messages asking off topic shit. I can and will block you. I'm here for the fandoms, not random bullshit.
#good omens#neil gaiman#dead boy detectives#sa awareness#believe the victims#if you do message me I'll get back to you as soon as I can

”oh no I can’t believe Neil is a weirdo”
tbh it wasn’t surprising when he turned out to be a Zionist, so it’s not really surprising that he sexually assaulted and raped 2 women… furthermore i don’t understand why everyone will believe the survivors until it’s their favourite white men.. (personally i believe the survivors)
#neil gaiman#believe the victims#watch Neil Gaiman fans try to defend his actions.. even though he’s in the wrong

Explaining and (hopefully) proving Melanie Martinez is a bad person in general and shouldn't get supported !!
I want to start off strong and say that no, I don't support Timothy's actions and they shouldn't get justified for the things she has done. Want I do want, is for Timothy and other victims to get justice on their SA case or other. (SA is not a joke, believe the victims!!)
This post has multiple sections and will cover (almost) everything from top to bottom, take some of my words with a grain of salt as they took me months to find and even provide. Of course, if you do have any more information I couldn't find myself, I will look into it once mentioned and update this post eventually.
1. NFT's
This was pretty well known if I remember correctly, Melanie sold NFTs featuring a crying elephant, a duck looking into a mirror, a claustrophobic teddy bear and a flying cow that was..well, lactating. (Oddly it seemed sexual too which is yikes!!)
Those NFT's still exists and can be viewed right here.
The only reason I'm mentioning this is to bring it back up again, even with how minimal is may seem to other allegations, it's best to bring up past behaviors and what not.
NFT's are bad, they're harmful for the environment, buying, creating or even selling NFT's can cause pollution or e-waste, they're unnecessary.
2. CP (Child Porn)
This allegation has recently been outed, Melanie has been doing CP with none other than her own character Crybaby. I have seen that others made fun of it too (which honestly, isn't funny! Don't make jokes about child porn even if it's a fictional character!! Most things that happen in fiction happen often in reality).
Melanie has posted a "work in progress" drawing featuring her character topless, A CHILD, topless. Drawing a child (Crybaby) even if it's a fictional character (albeit, it also did count has Melanie's weird persona) anything of a child drawn sexually can legally count as CP, which is absolutely disgusting.
I would mention the coloring book too, but as I didn't see all the pages I shouldn't comment on it much. But from what I have seen, it's worth to mention it in this section too.
3. Pedophilia
A strong word but it's worth to mention. I'm sure Melanie's theme about "infants, children" and whatnot are obvious. Those childlike songs with a undertone of sexual stuff can be easy to ignore if you don't listen to the lyrics.
Melanie Martinez's whole theme revolves about her character, Crybaby, who goes through stages of life while growing up featured with sexual stuff. I want to still mention that Crybaby is a CHILD. It's unnecessary of Melanie Martinez to make a child appeal sexually even (cough, Pacify Her music video, Training Wheels lyrics and music video).
Another thing I wanna mention is K-12, a movie and album once again revolving about children. The movie was bad (and, if I remember correctly, even she worked with a pedophile on set while aware which is a big yikes!!), as far as I saw, everybody has seen that the "Teacher's Pet" song and scene was unnecessary to add (considering the character was also nude in that scene, it's once again CP).
While the characters don't have a specific age, they're in high school!! HIGH SCHOOL, they're still children for crying out loud.
In short, Melanie has shown pedophilic behavior in albums and songs.
4. Bad Treatment towards friends and Co-workers
While it isn't as, "well known" per say, it has been said by Gina Frey (i deeply apologize for the bad quality in that image! Finding this was very difficult and I can't seem to find one with one that was more readable) who was friends with Melanie back then has said she dealt with Melanie Martinez's awful behavior and treatment towards her, I want to add that Allison Balchi had shortly mentioned she didn't get the best treatment either.
Stella Rose (she will once again be mentioned in a different section) also appears to be on the same boat as Gina Frey And Allison Balchi.
While I am not sure with what exactly has also happened with the artist of the Crybaby coloring book, the artist has mentioned that they don't want to do anything with Melanie anymore and won't return to her either (from my choice, it was best to add it here since the artist not wanting to do anything with Melanie anymore can count here).
5. Rapist Allegations
Before you go and mention "well!! Innocent until proven guilty!!!" This won't work, it's GUILTY until proven innocent. If you were brought to court you would not even be near innocent but counted as guilty.
I think we all know this has resurfaced (and thank God it did! This allegation is not a joke do NOT shove it aside), but it's also obvious which side people are on.
Timothy Heller has returned to the internet to speak about her SA case once again, while negativity has returned, a fair share took Timothy's words seriously and drove away from Melanie. Even with the mention of it being "debunked, Timothy lied Melanie innocent yippie!!" That is false.
Timothy didn't lie, Melanie has out right stated that it did happen, too.
A lack of no doesn't mean yes. And, even with some extra words added, she never said no stands out the most. Melanie made two tweets, one admitting the situation and the other THANKING her fans for bullying Timothy off the internet. How do you people not see anything wrong with that??
"Timothy got the dates mixed up!! Oh and the pictures don't add up either!!" I will be blunt and say victims of SA wouldn't remember the dates, that would be the LAST thing a victim would care about. And about the pictures, Timothy's gallery was bugging out, someone else who had the same type of phone Timothy had said that they had also have something like that happen.
Some screenshots about messages Timothy had sent were fake, edited, made up by Melanie's dickriders to silence Timothy.
Allegedly, when Timothy first said her statement about Melanie back then, one of Melanie's fans hacked her account, changed everything around it and left it with a laugh. Which should also say enough about Melanie's fans.
But Timothy wasn't the only one, Madeleine Carina and Stella Rose have also said something when Timothy spoke up about her situation, which by surprise got ignored as Timothy was at the center of everyone's attention.
I want to say on Madeleine's statement that she was peer pressured into saying yes to sleeping with Melanie, which is once again, NOT consented.
Getting pressured to say yes even if you DON'T want to COUNTS as a form of sexual assault and it flies over everybody's heads. I hope the victims get justice, it's sad to see that millions of people would rather believe a potential rapist (with oh so many allegations on her back already) than a potential victim.
I want to once again say, believe the victims! It's scummy of people to be well aware and still brush it off when it's right in front of their face (and seeing how people on TikTok act with wanting Melanie to rape them instead is fucking repulsing).
Melanie isn't a great person, her silence on the current situation says a lot, even going as far to ignore them. I hope this is her fucking down fall cause she honestly had it coming, she does not deserve her fame.

How hard is it to NOT be a(n alleged) rapist? Seriously? Settling out of court and an NDA???
What a piece of shit
Again Good Omens dickriders and all of that shit DNI I dont want to hear your little pity party about how this rich white piece of shit saved your life
Just find some other random white dude to obsess over like Josh Sundquist might be a good idea, an actually good person who has achieved more in his life than this fucking slime ever can.
Fuck you Neil Gaiman

On Melanie Martinez and merch from problematic artists
Recently there have been many people flocking to cover this situation that has recently resurfaced from 2017, which state that the musician Melanie Martinez SA’ed her friend, Timothy Heller.
First, it is incredibly disheartening to find that so many people are rushing to their favourite artist’s aid, rather than believing the victim. While it is well and normal, healthy even, to ask for proof of such events, there are EXTREMELY few cases of SA that have a perfect set of evidence, rather than the victim’s word.
The throngs of fans verbally harassing Timothy online about loving Melanie and her music, and berating Timothy for speaking out is absolutely disgusting. It’s been made very clear who actually cares about and supports SA victims, and who only supports them until the alleged assaulter is someone they look up to or know. On that matter, you do not know Melanie Martinez. People stating “She would never”, DO NOT KNOW HER. SHE DOES NOT KNOW YOU. Anyone is capable of it, that’s why anti-SA movements and believing the victim exists.
But to the point I wanted to get to, many fans who do believe Timothy are scouring the internet to find ways to discard merch and find artists that make similar music to Melanie’s. Now, it is not outside the realm of reason to separate the art from the artist. While yes, streaming music does technically support the artist monetarily, one Spotify stream (depending in location) gives an artist $0.003-0.005. The best way to go, however, is finding artists that do covers or make similar/inspired music.
On the topic of discarding merchandise, you do not have to get rid of anything. In fact, it is far more healthy, sustainable, and a big fat F-you in Melanie’s face. If you have a T-shirt, turn into a painting shirt or a pyjama shirt. If you have vinyl or CDs, listen to them. If you have her perfume, use it all up. If you have concert tickets, either sell them or go to the tour and enjoy the music. The biggest “screw you” to a multi-millionaire is to completely use their product, use it beyond repair, and then simply don’t re-purchase it.
This over-consumption and sense of urgency, almost, to discard these expensive items is telling of our current economic climate. Wear the T-shirt until it’s covered in bleach or full of holes, listen to the vinyl or the CD until it’s scratched beyond repair, put some water in the perfume bottle to get that last bit of scent out. Then, and only then, should you consider discarding anything.
To re-emphasize, that is both a giant “F-you” to the artist AND incredibly sustainable for the environment. This has been a long post but it is something I, and many others, feel strongly about. My heart goes out to any victims of violence and SA that were not believed, or that could not speak out. From one victim to another, I believe you.
