Wrightson parallels in Del Toro's Frankenstein

I think there are some from his comic, as well, but I'll have to go home and get the comic books to check. I did notice some thematic elements similar to that, though.

[thesituation]

genuinely wild how every time some abusive asshole pulls a DARVO on a woman he abused the general public is like “we’ll never know what really happened, they’re both toxic they were both bad to each other” so the only way a woman can be abused and say she was abused is if she sits in a saint like manner and calmly takes all of it without raising a hand or word in retaliation. like holy shit it’s every time

[thesituation]

people make lone wolf shooters morally grey cause they were bullied and that’s why they opened fire on their classmates but can’t fathom that maybe a woman manipulated and abused for months or years would do or say something unsavory at some point. anything you do can and will be used against you

you gotta have a silly kink. you gotta have a weird fetish. its important.

Anyway, more verified reporting on Neil Gaiman is out and it's real bad, folks, it just is. I'm not going to link it here, but there are plenty of free links floating around.

I cannot stress this enough, if the topic of sexual assault and graphic details are going to be severely distressing for you, please do not read it. That is not something you have to do to yourself. You do not have to do penance for finding his work meaningful, previously praised it, or enjoyed interacting with him on Tumblr. This is not on you. No one needs that from you, no matter how it may feel.

If this is personally devastating, you can (and should!) take some time to process it. You don't owe the internet a hot take or force yourself to feel the right emotion. Just take a break until you find the right headspace to be in. Please take care of yourselves.

[ashirisu]

Heavy on the “you don’t have to do penance” part. You are not retroactively a bad person for having supported or enjoyed work from someone whom you did not know was a bad person, nor are you retroactively foolish for taking their carefully curated public persona at face value.

Take care of yourself and take care of others by not feeding into the idea that self-flagellation is the best way to process your feelings. Loving art and admiring an artist is normal, but the age of the internet has tricked us into thinking we have a moral obligation to know everything about said artist in order to feel connected with said art, which has in turn made us believe we’re immoral for not knowing.

Please don’t let a misplaced sense of guilt get the better of you. It’s okay if all you do is feel your feelings and then move forward.

[memento-morri-writes]

OP is correct, it truly is extremely graphic. I am not disturbed by just about anything (including discussion of SA, usually) and it grossed me out/made me very uncomfortable. Please stay safe.

And strong agree: takings someone's kind words at face value says nothing negative about you, but that person trying to trick you in the first place says a lot about them.

Guilt over things you had no way of knowing isn't going to help anyone. If his work meant something to you (as it did to many people), don't beat yourself up over it. Just don't watch adaptations of his work, don't buy his books or anything else that supports him, and continue to support survivors of SA now and forever.
