#27 I have this lil conspiracy theory that luxury product names with unusual pronunciation are a deliberate attempt at a shibboleth. Lets the rich claim the new pronunciation as a way of separating themselves from the proles. Anyone who compliments your "Her Mees" purse is one of "the poors" who doesn't know any better.

Because "The High Grounds" would be a great name for such a place.

Dunno about a coffee place with it, but a quick internet search says it's technically a thing, but more a DIY thing. Couldn't find pre-made. Granted, you're mixing an upper and downer, so likely mixed results.
Omicron416
Yeah, some people go for that though ... I mean, rum & Coke, vodka & Red Bull ...

Briefly forgot about alcohol mixes. Also, I've never heard of that latter mix. Sounds unpleasant.

I would love to believe this is true.
mindnumbingbraincandy
Unfortunately its almost all ad hominem attacks against imperfect victims
worm61
No, fuck that, fuck him, and fuck you too. Believe victims. Don’t protect rapists.
MajorasTerribleFate
I don't protect rapists. I do, however, keep an open mind for the VERY RARE but extant instances of stories being twisted, sometimes by interested parties who were not the original survivors. I draw no conclusions here, because I dont have infinite mental energy to parse this situation. And I don't pile on the attack of someone when there *seems* to be the reasonable doubt that things aren't as simple as the popular story provides. I'm not singing Gaiman's innocence or deriding survivors.
worm61
You linked an article titled “Neil Gaiman is Innocent”.
MajorasTerribleFate
It is not necessarily the case that I wholeheartedly agree with every article I might link. I think the information may be worth others seeing. It definitely has a bold title, one I can't vouch for. The *content* of the article is what is worth actually examining for its potential value.
If I only ever linked things that perfectly reflected my view, I'd link nothing.
SOLARvsFACISM
I'm not finding original sources on this blog's claims and they seem to be cataloging every time these women dressed provocatively as evidence that they're lying.
SubiBryant
I think he wrote a couple of good books too.
WarlockSniper
Yeah he did. He *USED* to be one of my favorite authors.
Now, he can politely go fuck himself. I can not "un-buy" the books I have. But I can tell people not to buy anything from him.
RPhoenix
Good news perhaps. https://technopathology.substack.com/p/neil-gaiman-is-innocent-too-long-1ef

I choose to believe Terry write GO by himself
marsilies
He wrote some really good novels, and short stories, and comics, and movies, and TV show episodes. He's also very LGBTQ+ positive, and pro free speech. However, due to the sexual abuse and assault allegations, The Good Omens TV series is only getting a 2 hour movie finale instead of a full 3rd season. The Sandman TV series ended after 2 seasons. It's a shame his personal actions have tainted so much work.
BoogiesOogie
He has a fantastical and amazing brain, but that’s how actions work. The real shame is that he wasn’t raised/surrounded by people who could have instilled in him the ideals that such actions are unacceptable. I say this as a plea to everyone that when you see your people exhibiting troubling behavior, please, I implore you, if you have the bandwidth, talk to them, share with them, and show them true compassion and vulnerability.
marsilies
Not that this excuses his behavior, but his dad was a prominent Scientologist and allegedly once, as punishment, nearly downed him in a bathtub. Gaiman wrote about it in fictionalized form in The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Cycles of abuse take work to break.
mindnumbingbraincandy
He also wrote a story about a writer keeping a woman hostage and raping her to have a muse.

Margrave9000
No he didn't.
SubiBryant
What?
Margrave9000
Just like that FART bitch.
worm61
He did. He was one of my idols. A huge influence on my own writing. And when I found out what a monster he is, he was dead to me, and we should regard all his works with the same disgust as we regard him. Maybe we can enjoy them again after he’s dead. Until then, they’re tainted.

God help me, that shit bummed me out more than I can easily describe.

This is all the same bullshit that’s used to defend every single other famous rapist. This is why women don’t report. Stop defending rapists and stop attacking victims. Fuck whoever wrote that trash on the Nazi platform and fuck you for sharing it.
DarthWaiterSE
This is definitely new-news to me and I thank you for it.
SOLARvsFACISM
It would be nice to believe this, but I'm trying to follow the links back to original sources and a lot of them reference other sections of the same blog, or public evidence where I have no idea whether or not it supports the blogs claims and then a lot of stuff that seems to be "she wore a low cut shirt and drew a boob comic so we can't believe her"

He once anally raped someone with no lube and made her lick him clean. And he made her call him master often enough his pre-teen child told her to call him master, too. Theres implications there.
