Sometimes, I feel that, all else being equal, people with a universal mindset, such as one influenced by Catholicism, may find it easier to become sigma or alpha, while those with a tribal mindset (particularly Talmudic, but possibly also Hindu or Buddhist) will face more difficulties, even if they possess the qualities necessary for these roles.

But as you’ve always said, the “why” is not the focus here.

Random anal rape of babysitters on demand with butter?

This dude has dropped below the male horizon of acceptable failure in one lifetime.

Gaiman is literally the incarnation of Gollum in our reality.

This guy has gone beyond inability to land women. He can't even speak to them. He just has to roll up on hired help with hairy chicken legs and a stick of butter for anal. That's the bottom of the male genome right there. World class loser.

P.S. Bro you're even hitting the wrong end there in a rape. Triple bonus skill powerup for losing in the worst possible way. Mother Nature called and asked if you will wait for her on the train tracks after dark. Just take a nap 'til she gets there. That's one girl interested at least.

Good mix. But the original has Vox' voice.

Love the song.

Nothing more perfect than having Gayman as his family name and being the sneaky male feminist that he is.

I know this is totally off topic, but that black and white photo makes him look a bit like Howard Stern with his glasses off.

"Its a yid thing. You goyim wouldn't understand."

What Gaiman was chanting in Hebrew, probably.

Has this story been fact-checked at all? It takes some giant balls to force a woman to read a grotesque story like this, and Gaiman seems both too cowardly and too intelligent to try this. Almost a parody of creepy behavior, I would be sincerely interested if the story's true

Gaiman tweet from 2018: "On a day like today it's worth saying, I believe survivors. Men must not close our eyes and minds to what happens to women in this world. We must fight, alongside them, for them to be believed, at the ballot box & with art & by listening, and change this world for the better."

Hoist with his own petard.

If she complained he could just libel her as an antisemite, back before MeToo. So why wouldn't he do it? He figured his "chosen people" status would have him covered, and if all else failed he could bring up the hcost.

Wait with all that legacy I assumed more backstory.

I really appreciate the ongoing coverage of Gaiman. The discussions from people who have read him or are more familiar with him and the literary world has been very helpful. You all have highlighted and exposed some things that we were told to brush aside as harmless but that really were sinister and dangerous. That subtle but distinct “ick” and creepy feeling had a basis in reality and wasn’t just due to an overactive imagination.

The combination of the SSH with its description of male behavior patterns and concrete examples of the types, including gammas, has helped me understand some of my feelings and reactions, particularly in the case of a potentially dangerous individual. It has also helped provide a better overall picture for seeing the motivation of others. This refers to both good and bad; the alpha, situational or otherwise, taking charge to ensure everything goes to plan and is successful, and the person (male and female) who is only interested in him or herself and personal achievement and glory.

I could have lived a long and content life not knowing anything about Gaiman. But, now that I do I'm wondering why he isn't being prosecuted, just for starters.

I was also sad to learn that he produced Stardust, I was hoping that I never read or saw anything that he had a hand in creating... I take great pride in aspects of my cultural ignorance.

Rape is very hard to prove. Also, he paid his accusers over $350k combined to shut them up. And that's just what he's confirmed so far.

Fair. Doubtlessly those NDAs also include mutual releases of civil liability as well....

The whole bath thing really gives me the willies. Imagine you're a woman enjoying a nice relaxing hot bubble bath when suddenly at the other end of the tub Gaiman's curly haired head s-l-o-w-l-y rises out of the bubbly water with those beady little eyes staring right at you. The thought makes me shudder

And this is why he chooses damaged girls whose alarm bells don't start clanging off the walls at an invitation to go take a bubble bath while alone with a strange man at his house.

I doubt that bedrock has been reached yet.

We won't hit that until the first accuser under 18 comes out. I'm surprised we're not there yet.

In that second photo, Gaiman looks like the turkey vultures that lurk at the edge of the forest near where I live. Physiognomy is real.

The first photo is a good opportunity for a facial bifurcation study like the ones Anonymous Conservative used to do back in the day. The left-face in the photo looks like a garden variety creepy pest. The right-face looks downright evil, like he wants to carve you up and eat your entrails or something. He also seems to have the prominent nasolabial folds that AC says are indicators of abuse in childhood.

Combine that with being descendants of Scientologists.

Turkey Vultures at least serve an important role in the wild, poor things, getting compared to a fairytale boogieman. For shame.

Turkey Vultures are also monogamous.
