Neil Gaiman’s career seems very DONE at the moment, after several women came out and accused him of some really nasty stuff. Now even Dark Horse Comics is severing ties with the highly influential comic book creator and author. We talk about the situation and how the comic book media seemingly turned a blind eye to him -- and others -- because they were part of the group. Neil Gaiman, a vocal advocate for cancel culture, faces allegations of sexual assault and non-consensual activity with multiple women, which he denies while admitting to being emotionally unavailable and sexually available. The comic book industry is turning on Gaiman due to the severity and mainstream media attention of the allegations, marking a significant departure from their usual damage control for problematic creators. Inconsistent enforcement of standards in the industry sees male creators like Gaiman and Warren Ellis facing severe consequences, while female creators are protected despite allegations of misconduct. The industry has a history of protecting problematic creators, including those accused of taking advantage of younger women, badgering colleagues, and facing allegations of misogyny, racism, and embezzlement. Gaiman’s past behavior of smacking down critics lwas previously cheered on by the industry, now facing criticism for their selective enforcement of standards. The comic book industry’s culture of protectionism and selective enforcement is driving talent away and creating a toxic environment unattractive to potential creators and readers. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.
