God help me for partially defending this shitty overgeneralizing comment, but I can kinda see where Azuire is coming from if I tilt my head and squint. It's a pattern with a lot of Fandom Approved White Dudes (see above comment where someone mentioned Joss Wheedon Feminism) where you'll sort of get jumped if they do something faily and you point out that it's not really an isolated incident and maybe this beloved guy really kind of is a douche. Neil Gaiman in particular tends to get pass after pass after pass from (mostly white) fans because he's generally talented and Sandman/Good Omens/etc was awesome, and there's an element of his fandom that definitely likes to holler at meen PoC for harshing their squee. Much more so than say, even Whedon, since it's gotten a bit more acceptable to criticize him over the last few years. "He wrote Anansi Boys, he can't be a racist, appropriating douchebag!" (?) People are a lot more willing to make excuses for him, and it's annoying.

Why Azuire extrapolated that wanky behavior to all Gaiman fans, I don't know. But I do understand where the frustration that led to that comment came from, even if it was shitty and erased the fans who aren't wanky and do question his fail/struggle with liking some of his work despite the BS. Hell, I used to be a Gaiman fan myself until I got tired of this kind of thing (and his Browncoat-esque segment of fans).
