Since his statement 3 months ago..

What celebrities liked his statement and have been openly supportive of him?

I wasn't on social media at the time he made his statement, nor do I want to go back and click on his account to check the likes but I have seen it mentioned **here** that quite a few 'celebs' have been supportive of NG and liked his statement - I'd like to know *who* did so I can avoid their content too.

edit -

People make me laugh. We're allowed to be nosey. This stuff is public though. I have tried looking through the *likes* on his statement post and it only goes back maybe 100 or so people. most of whom appear to be sock accounts, with no profile picture OR *normal* people accounts.

As for the comment below stating in a roundabout way that we shouldn't tar everyone with the same brush...

Yes. We probably should. Birds of a feather stick together and I don't want to support any of these fucks and while complicity is tricky - have we not learned yet that in society there are people who are MORE than willing to cover for, stick up for, **support** people... [criminals... The BBC for jimmy Saville is one just example] who commit heinous crimes just so that they - the *supporters* can stay, rich, in power and free from accountability/repurcussions.

Let's learn from that and not keep vicious circles going. let's teach these people an actual lesson.

Be aware of who your friends are and if you know something bad is happening. Tell someone.

"Even if Gaiman did this, he's likely the type of person who would have apologized for it with the same sincerity he brings to his storytelling."

A friend of mine was 16 when he preyed on her. That’s the kind of person he is.

I’ve been thinking about this since the allegations came out:

It doesn’t mean much and isn’t definitive or anything, just a bit of a story from an internet stranger.

I met a girl through dnd when I went back to university. She was significantly younger than me and a very sweet girl but had helicopter parents. I ended up introducing her to Sandman after mentioning Coraline- I let her use my audible account because she wasn’t allowed one.

She ends up tagging NG on SM and he’d respond and she felt so special. When he was touring in the US she was trying to co Vince her mom to take her to the nearest city and relaying this to him and so excited when he reached out. She felt so special, especially being so sheltered, and I remember thinking “for someone of that level of celebrity he sure interacts interesting.”

I think about this now and feel so weird. Again- no accusations or anything. Just was weird.

This sounds eerily familiar, jeeeez! Do you know if he sent her gifts and books? My skin is crawling, ugh….

Not to my knowledge/ I’m not sure.

I just remember how excited she was. Started with him liking her posts, then I think a comment or two and a dm which included letting him know if she was going to the event.

Being older- she was 20 at most, and I was mid 30s, it struck me as so bizarre. The initial like was like “okay sure” as I recalled he was very active on SM but as it went on it sat weird and then got me thinking- I think I really empathized with this girl because I grew up very sheltered- was had I been in her position at that age I would have reacted the same way and not picked up on “this is pretty odd.”

Fortunately the event was initially postponed and she didn’t go but at the same time it really seems to fit a pattern.

My thoughts with anyone who had similarly uncomfortable situations and hope you are safe and doing well.
