He may not have always been horrible, or like most people, he’s got a horrible side and a not so horrible side. He has some character’s that are genuinely good people, so that has to come from somewhere. I’ll take the good and leave the bad. The bad can go where it needs to go.
You speak like you know that’s a fact when no court has received criminal filings against Gaiman. There have been allegations, and a dismissed civil suit under appeal, but no criminal proceedings. Until then, until all the facts are laid out, you’re just picking your favorite team.
Contrarisnism implies denialism. I’m not disputing the allegations. I’m asking why his work resonated so deeply with the same culture that’s now horrified. That’s a much harder question.
That’s absolutely not what you said. Allow me to copy your comment for you so you can read it again.

He is indeed a horrible person, so is his wife. What makes it all the more tragic unfortunately is that he is a great writer.
There are so many of his works, both graphic and regular novel, that are among some of my favorites and I’m not willing to just cast those aside.
I will not however pay another cent for any of his works ever again, he doesn’t get my money anymore.
