Content should be articles, video essays, podcasts about topics relevant to the forum. No memes, single images or tweets/toots/... please!
Community rules:
Be respectful and civil with each other. Don't be a jerk. There is a real human being on the other side of your screen. See also the Blahaj.Zone Community Rules
No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.
No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.
No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.
Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.
No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.
Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.
NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.
Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

Well, so far he's lost three tv series (Sandman, Good Omens, Dead Boy Detectives), a movie (The Graveyard Book), his comics publisher (Dark Horse), a musical (Coraline), several book published have said they have no plans for him in the future (HarperCollins, Marvel, WW Norton), and his sales numbers have dropped.
He's still got residuals and publishing royalties, and whatever real estate and investments he's made, so he won't be starving but it must be hard seeing all that lucre just dry up. I'm kinda hoping he's having financial difficulties - the auction last spring was supposed to have "part of the proceeds" donated to charity, but they never said what percentage that would be, and the auction only raised a million dollars - a fortune to most of us, but less so to him.
