Honestly I'm really tired of that excuse. In an ideal world, the production would help all of those people find new jobs and Gaiman would have to pay some minimum cancellation sum (preferably some fraction, from 1/4-1/2 minimum, of a full season's wages to carry them through until their new job starts) out of pocket for fucking them over. Instead, the solution adds to his income, which he proven track record of using to pay off his victims and pay lawyers' fees for all those NDAs he makes them sign. There are also fans of his who are taking this as a sign that he didn't actually do anything illegal, because otherwise Amazon would have dropped him completely. The victims stay an afterthought in everything and I'm not okay with that.

Getting a new job sucks. I was laid off and I know from first hand it was horrible. I had to retrain in a different field. But what sucks more is that Gaiman is still being platformed in a small way because people care more about his work than they do about victims. And while I'm not jumping with joy at the knowledge that, were I to get my way, the people employed to work on this series would be out of work, to me it is a necessary consequence of platforming a man who had (at minimum) credible rumours swirling around him across various industries about his conduct for, as we are now learning, decades. Maybe if they actually started dealing with issues when they first arose we wouldn't have to be sitting here and waffling over who should accept the losses of this.

100s of people have to suffer because of 1 person? Your ideal world doesnt exist.

And by that logic, practically entire studios would be shut down because the people running them who also get paid for shows they helped launch.

This. People would have turned down other things to do this job. I don't mean the main actors, they will be fine. I mean the crew. So if you turn down other things because you're contracted, and then you lose that job, what do you even do?

EDIT: I have to admit I didn't think of this when I was like BURN IT TO THE GROUND so thank you for reminding me <3
