That's a good point, it is some fucked up priorities for a publisher to not support free speech but to support rape. Gaiman is a vile and disgusting rapist who brutalized at least one vulnerable teenager and multiple adult women. If you would rather associate with someone like that and help make them richer there's something fucked up with morals.
I suppose however that Gaiman probably had more earning potential? He has some notable works, but I do agree the publisher should have taken the high road.
I don't think earning potential provides sufficient justification for associating with someone who rapes people. Their priorities are all fucked up.
Yes but you are a normal decent person, not a money obsessed sociopath like the upper management of a multi billion corporation
Not a justification but an explanation.
For a corporation? Of course it does.
