“Nazi” isn’t a slur. It’s a word that describes real people who earnestly believe in their ideas. Their ideas are disgusting and hateful, but of course they often do not realize it.
I keep running into racists who think that it’s not white supremacist to think that white people are inherently superior to other races. No…that’s the whole definition!! The fact that they believe it earnestly and don’t think it’s an idiotic, hateful belief doesn’t mean it’s not an idiotic, hateful belief.

Make sure the people you’re cheering for don’t believe these things because otherwise…

If you're in the Good Omens fandom and you either refuse to read the article or are rolling your eyes at it still, you're actually a walking piece of shit and I hope you know that. I hope that sticks with you.
Gaiman article horribly sad. I’m most thrown by Palmer seeming to try different ways to appease or contain the situation, setting him up with women, even sending especially young and vulnerable ones to him—until the child becomes involved and this “containment” is obliterated
this might seem trivial to some but this is how men often disrupt women's fun, take pleasure in their discomfort and then gaslight them by labeling their reactions as crazy or over-the-top
