For anyone about to read the article, it is A LOT. Like, I don't have any particular triggers and I had a hard time reading it.

The CW itself almost needs a CW, so I spoilered it here:

spoiler

CW: SA, Physical abuse, non consenting bdsm, child abuse, humiliation, corrective SA

If you don't want to read it, the TL;DR is that Gaiman is a monster
