Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

You know what, I've decided to become angry at this. I am going to turn the few shitty paperbacks I have by this guy to our sauna kindling.
When the Sandman series was a thing I ended up in a stuggle session with Gaiman stans on Twitter because I thought the depiction of Despair in the series was utterly violent towards fat people. I was told I just don't get it.
I have always felt that I am missing something about the books of this literature genius because to me the books are mediocre at best. And I kind of felt like an outsider for it.
Turns out this guy is the monster that is hidden in plain sight in between the lines. And while I am against book burnings, I will burn these books. For all SA victims like myself.
I am so tired of how the world we live in keeps making stars and celebrities of the worst of us. Imagine the stories we could have if they were written by good people. I don't mean some goody two shoes type of good, but people who are kind, have solidarity towards others and do not glorify the darkest impulses of humanity only.
