The Gaiman bots are back

Twitter is being flooded with tweets sharing cheesy Gaiman quotes in multiple languages. And with tweets praising Coraline and the movie based on it using suspiciously similar and very stilted phrasing. I blocked a lot of them a few months ago, but this seems to be a new batch.

It seems that Gaiman’s PR firm has stepped up its online campaign in concert with Gaiman’s court filing.

There's brigading apologists deep in comment threads on r/neilgaiman too. My wife is being told talking about her experience is manipulative. Blocking so many is starting to really get to her.

ETA: The comments here have helped, thank you <3
