Anyone care to be the sole voice stating “I’m sad Netflix cancelled yet another fantastic series?”
I couldn’t get through 15 min of the first episode.
Yeah, that’s not too surprising given the strong allegations against Neil Gaiman. While I enjoyed Dead Boy Detectives for what it was, I don’t particularly want to watch or read anything Gaiman has a hand with now.
I just wonder how Sandman and Good Omens will be handled. I can’t imagine either show being scrapped at this point given the fact that both have been in production for so long, though I would be shocked if they were renewed for additional seasons.
Can we, for once, separate the art from the artist? It is possible to enjoy something created by an absolute bastard without endorsing their shitty behavior. Lots of people play Call of Cthulhu without endorsing eugenics. Or Mission Impossible without supporting Scientology. Can I still watch Emma knowing Gwyneth Paltrow sells vagina rocks to gullible women and the movie was produced by Harvey Weinstein? Absolutely. It’s a gem.
Stop 👏 Cancelling 👏 Shows 👏 Because 👏 One 👏 Person 👏 Is 👏 A👏 Cunt👏
Of course, if it sucked, that’s different
Edit: the main creative force continuing to profit from production/distribution is a fair point. There’s nuance to be had here
If Gaiman could be separated, that might be okay, but I don’t want to buy his shit anymore. I don’t want to support projects that make him rich. I don’t even like having his books in my house now. Gross.
Honest question, and this comes from a place of genuine good faith:
Where do you draw the line? Hollywood is rife with abuse. SA of women, men, and minors. Toxic work environments. Labor abuses. It’s easy when there’s a single point that one can direct their anger towards. Neil Gaiman, J.K. Rowling, Harvey Weinstein, etc. And I’m not advocating that abuse in any form, once brought to light, should be ignored because others are getting away with it. But when it comes to boycotts, where is the line? It’s easy for me, I just pirate everything and directly support the artists I’m interested in supporting. But I’d like your perspective
I’m gonna ask a couple of other commenters in this thread as well, because I’m curious
“But I want my fun thing! Why can’t we just pretend this person didn’t force himself on these vulnerable people? This slightly INCONVENIENCES me!!!”
STOP 👏 Canceling 👏 shows 👏 because 👏 the 👏 main 👏 creative👏 force 👏 behind 👏 it 👏 who 👏 will 👏 profit 👏 most from 👏 its 👏 success 👏 is 👏 abusing 👏 women 👏
That’s you.
I had a snarky reply, but then i spent two days in the woods and realized you have a point (although I’m not inconvenienced, just in outrage burnout)

If Gaiman wasn’t still alive getting rich off his art, then maybe. But while they’re still alive, I’d rather not celebrate or consume the art created by people like Polanski, Weinstein, Rowling, and Gaiman.
Do you boycott everything produced by the Weinsteins? It’s a big catalogue, of which Harvey has more involvement in some than others. Polanski I get, he continues to produce new works after his gross behavior came to light. By the way, my question below is partly inspired by Polanski’s continued acceptance in Hollywood…

With the current issues surrounding Gaiman I can understand them not renewing unless it was an absolute banger, which it wasn’t
He went and raped like 6+ women. Like half were either his children’s nannies or barely out of high school. Or both!
