Neil Gaiman & The Sneaky Fucker

Beware the male feminist; the progressive lurker; the celebrity children's writer

Although his books abounded with stories of men torturing, raping, and murdering women, this was largely perceived as evidence of his empathy - The New Yorker.

Ha! (But also - not ha! - because there exist multiple victims of Gaiman’s alleged sexual harassment). But now we know.

But if ever we needed evidence of the dissonance between progressive fashion for “looking good” and the dark reality beneath the surface—unequivocally not doing good—this is it. For decades, children’s writer Neil Gaiman has talked the talk—or tweeted the tweet (see below)—while doing anything but walking the walk.

Multiple - scrap that, multiples of multiple - women are coming forward to share their obscene, psychopathic experiences with the multi-millionaire self-appointed Mother Theresa of Wokeness Gaiman, who has written many books, including Coraline and Stardust.

It appears that his ex-wife Amanda Palmer (seen tweeting woke nonsense above) not only knew about Gaiman’s disgusting behaviour but arranged women for her monstrous husband. If not exactly in an Epstein-Maxwell way, at the very least, it was done in a “look the other way” fashion: the victim Rachel told the New Yorker she feels Palmer gave her to him “like a toy.”

He demanded that vulnerable young women call him master; he forced them into violent sex; and he made them do unspeakable things unworthy of repetition in these lines except to invite you to imagine the worst thing a person could make you do. He did worse than that.

Ever seen 127 Hours?

This is the Sneaky Fucker.

Coined by John Maynard Smith, the sneaky fucker was written about by Richard Dawkins way back in the 1970s: “subordinate males, known as sneaky fuckers, may steal matings during a prolonged fight.” In human terms, this is a male who acts like a feminist in order to ingratiate himself with women.

Those wary of the Woke Left will be forgiven for feeling a sense of the deja-vus.

Gaiman typifies precisely what is lost in the culture wars. Look back to the Ellen DeGeneres scandal, in which the nicest person on TV turned out to be a bully. Or the pervert Labour MP Ivor Caplin, who made grandstanding TV appearances hectoring those of us calling for an inquiry into Muslim grooming gangs - only to be outed by paedophile hunters the following week.

And because he was “one of theirs”, the literary lefties have been quiet. Fortunately, J. K. Rowling has pointed this out to her huge audience:

It is almost as if we speak a different language. The woke scream Far-Right and “bigot” at those who don’t share their opinions. In my new documentary about free speech on campus, for example, one woman insists that those who disagree with her are hateful narcissists without a shred of empathy.

We never really know what’s in someone else’s mind. But I can say for myself—and I’m sure many of you—we empathise with many causes and individuals. We also understand that the world is complex and that there are baddies out there.

That’s why - even if you claim that not being able to enter women’s toilets will make you kill yourself - we won’t relent. We know the world contains enough Ivor Caplins, Jimmy Saviles and Neil Gaimans.

Savile was woke in his way, attaching himself to progressive causes and charities. It was about looking good, not doing good. That’s why we’re so fed up with Ben Affleck, David Tennant and the celebrity circle-jerk—something Ricky Gervais appeared to obliterate just a few years ago but will never truly go away.

“Very vanilla” is how Gaiman refers to himself in a story about his encounter with a woman who asks him to whip her “pussy”. He apparently thought she meant “cat” in his faux-naif version of affairs. Yet, Gaiman forced a female fan who was 18 when she met her hero to let him do exactly that to her.

Gaiman’s behaviour leaves me in a bind because
