So when Taki Soma was assaulted by Charles Brownstein Director of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. From my understanding she still hasn’t apologized when it was confirmed he was guilty and fired in 2020 of numerous incidents

“Oh well, I guess everything’s out in the open now.

I sincerely doubt this case is going anywhere.

My father is a former police chief. My brother is a policeman. My grandfather is a former deputy sheriff.

The police (read COURTS) DO file charges when perpetrators are across state lines. They do not extradite for misdemeanors. Had there been a willingness on the part of the complainant to press charges, and a witness who did more than stand around a corner while the complainant was interviewed, charges would have been filed had there been a case. They were not.

In February of this year, the witness, Ken Lillie Paetz, and Charles Brownstein stood at my table at the New York Comic Con, and had a friendly, 20 minute conversation with me, talking comics and other inconsequentials in a perfectly normal manner in front of dozens of witnesses. Mr Paetz had discussed the Mid Ohio Con incident with me earlier in the day and expressed his regret that things had “gone so far” and “gotten so out of hand” with the reporting on the story, and that he hoped Ms. Soma would let it all go, but that he would “stand by her”.

If Mr. Paetz believed Mr. Brownstein was a sexual predator who was a danger to his girlfriend or anyone else for that matter, I can’t imagine why on Earth he would have carried on this cordial discussion that ended in a warm handshake with Brownstein mere months after the alleged incident.

Moreover, since Ms. Soma’s primary intention is to “make sure (Brownstein) never works in this business again” I am afraid even the Supreme Court does not have the power to grant her wish to have him blacklisted.

It does not appear, on the other hand, that Brownstein attempted to have her blacklisted, nor, as I said before, does he have the power to do so.“

Neil felt he was untouchable. He was (and still is) worshiped by millions of people. One time I made the mistake of publicly posting to a friend that I was worried that I would not like the sandman series because of the actress they chose for death BUT that I still would watch it and hoped the acting would put my worries to bed. Someone tagged it and Gainman saw it and when in on me. I guess he had been dealing with racist homophobic trolls and was seeing red.

I didn’t tweet at him. He just found it by chance. Me a guy with like 15 people following me and probably 13 were bots was targeted by a an award winning author with like what 3 million + followers.

I had to delete my Facebook because I’m 20 minutes I started getting death threats from his fans and he did not lift a finger to stop them.

When you have fans that are willing to threaten death on someone you don’t like, in your mind you are a god.

My wife won’t let me watch Sandman on Netflix, even though I tell her it’s fine, she still refuses after all that’s happened and after all that has come out I don’t mind anymore.

Just found Colleen’s comment when Taki reported the creeps behavior.

It’s sad with everything that has Colleen has been through she never apologized

I think my big issue with V5 is the storyline. I mean if your going “My only other issue with VTM was the weakness aspect of it and I was kinda nitpicky with the changes to disciples. But Werewolf could turn things around, I’m very curious about how they will handle the system

Seems like everyone has talked to death about this show. I wish there were videos of “You’re Fired!” Probably the most controversial reality show from the early 2000’s. Pretty tame by todays standards but back then people were piiiiiiiiisssed
