  • Here’s the easy first check to tell if claims are legit: specificity. If the supposed victim can’t tell anyone how the abuse happened, you’re looking at DARVO nine times out of ten. Mind you recounting abuse can be very difficult, but it’s absolutely vital to tell a story about what happened even if it’s only once.

    Unfortunately, these allegations pass that check. There’s one woman who says she was pressured to give blowjobs to Gaiman or she’d lose her house, which he owned. That’s specific. Could still be fake, but it’s not as easy to tell if that’s the case as it is with a lot of allegations.

    I share this information because it ought to be common knowledge, and unfortunately it’s not. Too many people out there falling for zero-specificity claims. We need to teach the general public more about fact checking skills.

    I think we need a doctors note for more than two days

    I don’t understand that policy. The only times in the last 4 years that I’ve needed more than 2 days of sick leave was because I had covid, and I think that’s a very common experience. And people with covid should absolutely not be going to the doctors office and exposing themselves to the sick and elderly. If someone has covid, you should be telling them to stay home. We’re currently in the middle of a worldwide pandemic.

    You should read these memes slower so you can pay attention more. This meme is about calling in healthy on the day of. People don’t know if they’re going to be healthy in two days. So your comment has the opposite meaning of the one intended. You’re saying you do ask questions if someone asks for time off on the day, and therefore that you’re a restrictive boss who wouldn’t allow this meme.
