TRIGGER WARNING FOR SEXUAL ABUSE OF CHILDREN

As some of you may be aware of via FB/Tumblr/FFA/author blogs, Moira Greyland, the daughter of Marion Zimmer Bradley and Walter Breen, recently went public with an accusation of abuse by her mother. Her father's sexual abuse of minors was well known, but this is the first time MZB has been named as an abuser outside of court.

	Looked at MZB's wiki to see if they'd finally edited in something about her involvement in this stuff, just saw stuff about her being feminist and how she was into Jesus. Wikipedia (Reply to this)(Thread)

	If you look at the history and the talk page, it looks like it's been brought up and then edited back out (looks like it's back in again). I seem to recall hearing that her old inner circle used to go around cleaning up her wiki page so I'd wager that's what's happening. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I feel I should mention that you really probably don't want to read some of the comments they're making on the talk page about her daughter. Really, really, really. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There should be an addition to the fandom fallacies -- the belief that SF fandom and cons were always safe spaces for women and children. (Reply to this)
