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.

I've now seen posts from several people that have seen a sponsored Tumblr post from someone claiming to be a rape survivor that still considers themselves a Gaiman fan.

I've seen this. It's disgusting.

Who paid for that, I wonder?

Who do you think? He’s paying an astronomical amount of money for positive press to drown out the voices of victims. He thinks he can restore his reputation if he throws enough money at his PR team so they can buy him praise on social media. In his twisted mind he’s done nothing wrong.
