[quote=Anonymous]To the question of whether Gaiman will be rehabbed, I think a lot of factors weigh against it: 1) As others have said, his fans tend to be informed and engaged consumers of not just news but also gender and social justice theory. Moreover, his superfans KNOW they tend to be a little socially awkward or have overcome trauma, so the fact that he abused folks from that fan base hits even harder. 2) Not just his fans, but the directors, screenwriters, and actors who chose to participate in his projects tend to be pretty vocal defenders of vulnerable groups. 3) He was always a little fringe. While his fans base was avid, this is not actually a Bill Cosby universal fame sort of situation. The rehabilitation machine won't kick in for him the way it would for a more conventionally popular writer/celebrity. [/quote]
