If you stop enjoying media you like because the creator was a bad person, the bad person wins.
Yesterday marked the 1 year anniversary of the neil gaiman accusations. Naturally, fans of his work have had difficulty grappling with this and how to proceed. Well, the day before yesterday was the season 2 premiere of the sandman. And I had a revelation. I'm not going to let gaiman's actions take sandman from. Because if I were to stop enjoying media I like because the creator is a bad person, the bad person has won. Although I'm using neil gaiman as the primary example, this could apply to anything. Movies, tv, comics, music, and so on. Don't give these monsters the satisfaction of having control of your life by actively avoiding their work. If you do that, you're giving them power.
