it seems to me like people are upset about the neil gaiman allegations because it cost them the third season of good omens. where was that energy 2-3 months ago
#i remember seeing the tag ‘resume good omens 3’ trending on twitter#would you guys genuinely feel comfortable watching six new television eps written by someone with five abuse/rape allegations#would you feel comfortable with the idea that david tennant is going to walk to to a set where the showrunner has previously offered to#give fans his hotel name and location in exchange for nude photos?#it seems like the outrage is more directed at amazon for reducing it for a tv movie than at gaiman for ignoring the word consent#and for abusing his connection to dt#‘amazon was so quick to cancel it bc it’s a queer show’ i’m not gonna deny that queer shows have a harder time but i feel like this time it#was more connected to the fact that neilman is a rapist#yes terry’s legacy deserves better and the ppl working on the show deserve better and the fans deserve better#but first and foremost his victims deserve better and it seems to me like they’re just an afterthought for most of the outraged fans#when the allegations first came out i remember seeing more ppl concerned for the future of the show than angry at gaiman for his actions#and there were soooo many doubters claiming that the accusers were lying#and every time a new allegation came out there weren’t a lot of ppl talking abt it#except for that one time the DT hotel thing was revealed#so idk maybe i’m wrong but it seems to me like the well-being of his accusers is not a top priority to a lot of ppl!#btw my experience is mostly from twitter bc that’s where i’m more active#idk what’s the state on tumblr but i hope it’s not the same
