Warning, this story is really horrific and will be heartbreaking for any fans of his, but Neil Gaiman is a sadistic [not in the BDSM sense] sexual predator with a predilection for very young women.

I dunno, I thought it was pretty fucked up first time around too.
It was fucked up, but within the context of the comic, it was fucked up because a horrific and insane person was doing it.
Now it turns out, Gaiman was also doing it. But he didn’t need magic powers because he had real power.
He did have a Sandman story where a a writer who claimed to be a male feminist is raping a muse to be a good writer. Even the first time I read that years ago seemed a little on the nose, but I thought Gaiman was just making fun of himself in a dark way, and yeah I guess I wasn’t wrong.
They mention that in the article and yeah, upon reflection that’s pretty fucking sick.
Didn’t make it that far, not a fan of detailed rape descriptions
I honestly do not blame you. This goes beyond even (I hate to call it this) common rape. This is absolutely deranged behavior even for a rapist. I read things I cannot unread.
