I wrote this in LibreOffice and it was miserable.
The Horrifying Creepiness of Neil Gaiman I was in a silly mood a few minutes ago so I asked Perplexity to give me the MOST POWERFUL Neil Gaiman quote, expecting it to be lame so I could make fun of it.
Imagine my shock when it answered with something half-decent.
But the second I read it, I knew why it was half-decent. It was half-decent because it’d been better said before. YES, I KNEW I HAD SEEN IT BEFORE.
WAAAH HA HA HA HA HAAA!!Common Chesterton W. Common Catholic W. Tremendous Trifles is such a great little collection of essays btw, I highly recommend it. Isn’t it SO INSANE that if I hadn’t recognized that quote, it would have just been presented to me as a Authentic Gaiman Original? So often Perplexity will give you extra “context”(cope, apologism) to desperately deflect from the points it thinks you’re trying to explore. Why never when it’d actually be useful? And what does “Gaiman himself has acknowledged the paraphrase” even mean? WHY did he paraphrase it in the f—okay, give me a sec, I’ll check out the sources… L M F A Okay, full blame cannot be placed on Neil Gaiman. It seems like it was originally misquoted and reinterpreted by Terry Pratchett for the purpose of complaining about (certain) book bannings. The ride never ends. In fact, Gaiman does at least attribute the misquote to Chesterton in Coraline, so really more of my anger should go to Pratchett. Terry Pratchett isn’t getting his today, though. I do not like Neil Gaiman.I’ve said in the past that I don’t like him because I saw him purposefully(I have to believe unless he’s retarded) misinterpreting a C.S. Lewis story to call him sexist. Basically just this… I drew it a long time ago, 1 sec…
This is—and yeah, I know “You’ve drawn your opponent as ugly and unreasonable!!” YES, I DID. This is every feminist writer(“writer”) who accuses C.S. Lewis of sexism (or any writer who writes women realistically—that is, distinct from men) Neil Gaiman, a man who sodomizes women, ejaculates on their faces, and tells them to call him “master” has less than the normal right to be kvetching about sexism. Normal people—men or women—should not be kvetching about sexism in the first place. When you derive sexual gratification from abusing women, it’s just so over. I know the cope is “Kink is just fantasy, and it’s all consensual!” but if you’ve ever met a woman who’s willing to be fucked in her ass, you’d know that she’s not mentally capable of consent in the first place. It’s all just so CREEPYI had a reintroduction to Neil Gaiman when I started following ComicsGate. He once called ComicsGate CREEPY because, like they do for everything and everyone ever that publicly mocks them, fat(obese) professional feminists on Twitter accused it of being a HATERASSMENT Campaign and Neil Gaiman listened and believed when he had some spare time from forcing a woman to suck his dick that had just been inside of her asshole. But, ahhhh Neil’s… he’s not so bad.At least he can recognize a good quote when he sees it. And I often see his words of praise on Gene Wolfe books, so at least he has some good taste. It was also at the Coraline movie where I had my first HEAVY make-out session with a girl. She literally wouldn’t let me watch the movie, and I wanted to watch it so it was kinda a bummer. If the movie was 90 minutes long, we spent 80 minutes making out, it was so stupid. Frankly, she was a bad kisser too, Neil would have punished her for it. But I liked her, she was cool, and it was obviously still FUN to be like tongue-wrestling with her. I think Coraline was probably a good movie. I still remember uh… Makin up a song about Cooooooraliiiiiine! In fact, maybe I LOVE Neil Gaiman and I hope that he’ll learn to love and respect women (like C.S. Lewis did) one day. It’s really rude to make them eat their own 💩 I’m not going to call it inherently sexist, but it’s just very rude. |
