Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

I hope that people with trauma histories don't feel pressured to read or comment on the Neil Gaiman Vulture article. I do, however, wish ppl who post things like "he's still my fave author even though he's 'problematic' now" could maybe look into what they're writing off as quote unquote problematic
