The Man The Myth The Legend

can we please talk about the fact that in this session, rendog was trying to get people to kill grian for putting them through the wildcards? man's literally trying to fight god because life sucks. i respect it. very diggity.

Just fair warning- I said on my personal post about this that I wasn’t going to talk about NG anymore, but as it’s becoming clear that him and his publishers and anyone else who makes money off of him is circling the wagons and trying to bury these allegations, as well as some fans still defending and trying to ‘rationalize’ this information, I feel like, actually, we need to keep talking about him (as much as I cannot stand him and feel physically disgusted now when I so much as see his face somewhere). Specifically, the fact that he’s a liar, master manipulator and should not, under any circumstances, be given access to his fans like he has in the past. At the very least. (And if you need to blacklist his name or even unfollow me so as to not be triggered, I completely understand, but I will always try to tag these posts accordingly and I think it’s crucial right now that the truth be put where people can see)

This post specifically is in response to those 'rationalizations’ I’ve seen, some that have gone as far as to blame the young fans/groupies that hooked up with him for being 'golddiggers’ or just making a mountain out of a molehill for something they now regret. It’s not that simple, yall. (And, again, this requires some amount of completely ignoring the story about him extorting his tenant for sex under threat of eviction of her and her three young children, I’m not sure how you 'rationalize’ that under the best of circumstances)

So let’s be clear here. What we know is that NG has routinely, for possibly an upwards of 30 years, pulled sexual 'partners’ from his fan groups, most of whom are 18-22 year old young women (though possibly younger, accounts are coming forward of 16 year olds having allegedly been inappropriately touched/flirted/propositioned by him, which ig is the age of consent in the UK but still?? 16 year olds!!). This wasn’t one or two times in the course of three decades, this was a constant pattern of behavior for him and for a very insidious reason.

This isn’t to try to infantilize those fans or young women/young people in general or try to suggest that they couldn’t have consented to sex with an older person or famous person. In fact, the onus isn’t on them at all. This is about an older guy with a lot of fame, power and wealth choosing to sleep with people that he had already conditioned to idolize him and using that power imbalance to coerce them into doing things they didn’t want to.

Regardless of one’s age or gender identity, it can be difficult to impossible to say 'no’ to someone like that. After all, you’ve been 'chosen’ by the chosen one, you’re special and not like everyone else, and if you don’t do what the popular person everyone trusts is telling you to do you could end up ostracized. Alienated. Or worse. And you know what? NG knew that! He knew it when he was crafting his 'approachable dad’ persona on tumblr. He knew it when he was cultivating a fandom of personality. He knew it when he was having huge meetups to try to ensnare more victims. I hate to even think it, but I’m starting to believe he knew it when he was writing children’s books too.

It’s been talked about again and again in separate issues, but needless to say something not being strictly illegal does not make it inherently, morally okay. It does not erase the fact that this man has been essentially grooming his fandom to feel safe meeting/speaking with him so he can coerce those he can snare into sexual acts they’re not comfortable with. That is predator behavior, whether strictly 'illegal’ in the eyes of a court or not (but ofc I think he should be criminally punished even if I’m not naive enough to think he actually will be, because this IS rape and rape should be criminally punished)

I’m not personally advocating for anyone to give up being in his related fandoms, but what I am personally advocating for is that people don’t forget who he is and what he’s capable of, especially when he tries to crawl back to where he was (I’m almost certain he will eventually, as I’ve said).

Again, at the very least, we need to use what little influence we do have to keep him from infiltrating fan spaces again. He should not be on tumblr yukking it up with young people, he should not be at public appearances hitting on teenagers, he should not be given the unrestricted access to fans that he’s 'enjoyed’ for the past 30+ years because he is not a safe person. While I wish there was more in the way of restorative justice that could be done, I think at very, very least we should do what we can to limit his proximity to people he could hurt in the future. Make sure no one forgets, because sweeping this under the rug means NG gets to hurt more people.

Lastly, no one is the wrong for having been manipulated by him. Let’s make that very clear. What we’re NOT gonna do is blame ourselves, each other, the victims, etc, for evil acts that NG chose to do himself, time and time and time again. It doesn’t help the situation and it certainly doesn’t protect future potential victims. We were all duped because we’re human and we attach and a lot of us want to believe there are good people out there, particularly those who make art that means so much to us.

And there are. But let’s also use this a teaching/learning tool about how much faith we place in famous people in the future, regardless of how 'approachable’ and 'safe’ they might seem. Let’s remember to have a healthy suspicion of creators/famous people that are oddly immersed in fandom spaces- yes, even the ones you still currently like that seem fine, as difficult as that may seem.

At the end of the day, we don’t know them or what they’re capable of doing or what they might be plotting to do to us. Support victims. Amplify their voices. Don’t forget.

A good boy and a little golem :D

Okay so we have this huge problem with forgetting about everything that’s happened by the time the next election rolls around so I’d like to keep a running list of things as they’re happening to help remind us when the 2026 midterms roll around. And please add to this if I’ve missed anything.

The Merry-Go-Round burnt down

But the Moon was stuck inside

"Leave, Just before Christmas? It's going to be my birthday, you know..."

[Photo ID: A person standing in daylight amidst dark smoke holding a large, Palestinian flag that obscures their face. Black, white, green, and red text reads: 'Global Strike. Jan 21-28, 2024.' Then more text reads: 'The strongest governments and weapons manufacturers are supporting this genocide against my people, and you are our only hope! STRIKE globally and call for a ceasefire! Strike, protest, stop the economic movements and make pressure on your countries to stand against this and stop it, if ISRAhell don’t find the financial and weapons support, or governments to hide their crimes they will be forced to stop the genocide!

[Photo ID: A photo Bisan took of herself in the smudged mirror of an elevator. She's holding her phone up to face level while looking at the screen. She's wearing a bright blue PRESS helmet and a bright blue PRESS vest. Text over the photo reads: 'Now, we are without any connection, neither the internet nor the cellular, we can’t reach each other’s inside Gaza, we don’t know if our families and friends are alive or not, wounded or not.. still in their places or not! We take hours of walking and searching to reach someone, while moving became very risky! We can’t reach to you as well! The footage, information and news from Gaza are not reaching you as before because the Israeli army intentionally destroyers the signal towers and the servers, even using the E-SIM requires being in a high place which is very risky!. I borrowed this vest to upload this post! - Bisan Owda (wizard_bisan1). January 21, 2024.' /End ID]

TFR is participating in the Global Strike called upon by @wizard_bisan1 for this week. No money will be spent & Palestinian voices will continue to be boosted, alongside other resources for how to best use this week in support of pressuring for a ceasefire.

Bisan's full message from January 21, 2024:

Hi everyone, it’s Bisan from Gaza, I am still alive Alhamdullah.. it’s been 107 days of genocide, 15 weeks, 2568 hours of killing us, taking over our homes and lands in Gaza Strip, and forcing us to choose between leaving or death.. and sometimes we can’t even choose.. the Israeli air strikes simply kill us without any warnings. Now, we are without any connection, neither the internet nor the cellular, we can’t reach each other’s inside Gaza, we don’t know if our families and friends are alive or not, wounded or not.. still in their places or not! We take hours of walking and searching to reach someone, while moving became very risky! We can’t reach to you as well! The footage, information and news from Gaza are not reaching you as before because the Israeli army intentionally destroyers the signal towers and the servers, even using the E-SIM requires being in a high place which is very risky!. I borrowed this vest to upload this post! I am not scared of death, but of being displaced, scared of losing my family or friends, scared of being wounded and can’t have my treatment because the health system is collapsed in Gaza, and to die in pain! I am not scared of the destruction.. I lost my work place.. my home and my family work place and source of income, I am terrified of being killed by an occupier, and to be forgotten, one oppressed Bisan of a whole occupied people. The strongest governments and weapons manufacturers are supporting this genocide against my people, and you are our only hope! STRIKE globally and call for a ceasefire! Strike, protest, stop the economic movements and make pressure on your countries to stand against this and stop it, if ISRAhell don’t find the financial and weapons support, or governments to hide their crimes they will be forced to stop the genocide! Go to the streets, protest and Globally strike for a week, (21-28) January! YALLA Brave and free people of the world, CEASEFIRE NOW!

i’m not calling you “sir”, you haven’t even been knighted, fucking poser

"My cousin," Wonder Woman nods at Danny during their meeting, once everyone gathered.

Flash, confused, asks. "From... your mother's side?"

Sharing an amused glance, WW shakes her head. "No, from my father's side. Danny is a son of Hades."

"Another demigod then." Batman states and they nod on that.

—

Why yes, when Danny met Wonder Woman in a dire situation, desperate to get away, he jumped right along her idea.

The idea of faking his own origin, in a way to explain the half death-ness without raising the suspicion of the bat (or anyone for the matter), pretending to be a son of hades.

Is this absolutely batshit insane trying to trick the god of the unworld? Yeah! He's having fun.
