    Yeah. There’s a clear path there from a weird upbringing to a misapprehension of consent, which combined with kink of any kind can go bad, fast.

    Of course there are likely a thousand ex-scientologist kids who got into bdsm et al and are if anything the opposite of this. Fuck him, what an asshole.

      One bajjillion not defending the perpetrator. But the article makes it seem like Gaiman had it a bit worse than others. I’m assuming that he grew up in the bad old days, in the middle of it, and his parents were quite devoted. If I had a point, I’d say that scientology’s leaders need to go to prison as well.

      It seems like his ex pushed him to do therapy, but he didn’t do it as his issues didn’t bother him, but rather everyone else around him.
