Neil Gaiman is accused of sexual assault.

Oh dear -- Neil Gaiman, who has made an entire career out of presenting himself as more sensitive than most other straight men, has just been accused by two different women of rape. Even if false, the accusations have forced Gaiman to admit that he had sexual affairs with both women while still married to Amanda Palmer, which he claims is fine because they had an "open relationship," straight male code for "I get to fuck whoever I want, and fuck you if you don't like it."

So... Apparently credible Sexual assault allegations have surfaced against Neil Gaiman. While I can't deny my love of his work, making good art is not a get-out-of-(alleged) SA-free card. "Never meet your heroes" is a Thing for a reason.
