these are accusations of serious crimes
let's wait for the trial , ( I'm a fan of putting people in prison )
regarding his books , I read Sandman among other books, gives the rape scenes a bit more context , 🤨 hence the accusations don't surprise me.
( 30 minutes later, can't get that Sandman book out of my head now. In the book the main character buys a Muse, a Greek goddess who inspires. He constantly rapes her and his writer's block is overcome. 100% of Gaiman's work is inspired by evil 🤮 )
the question is, who covered for him, who allowed him to get away with it for so long ,
what to do with the books , no idea, no one will want them
a good use would be burning in a wood stove this winter, otherwise, land fill
.
There are unpaywalled links in both r/books and twoxchromosomes if you can stomach the details. It's bad and there is probably more.
.
so he knows it's wrong and feels some guilt
in fact they all do, that's why they do these things in secret
