To be honest - and I'm aware of how cynical this sounds - that's part of why I find these accusations believable.
But my read on him has, for a long time, been 'kind of insufferably self-important'. He's spent a great deal of his career being a big fish in niches just small enough to have really dedicated built-in fandoms. He's Cool Guy Neil Gaiman. He wrote your favourite artsy goth comic that felt like it really got you, you know? He's BFFs with Terry Pratchett. He's an auteur. He and his cool goth wife have an open marriage, baby. He's so cool, but so approachable. Cool Guy Neil Gaiman talks to his fans all the time! And it's super wholesome, and he's super kind and cool and progressive. Don't you want to send Cool Guy Neil Gaiman an ask on tumblr? Have him acknowledge you? Of course you do.
He's had artsy goth chicks and devoted fandom groupies gassing him up for decades. Of course he's god's gift to alternative women. Of course the babysitter he just hired wants to bang him. Of course the 18 year old ingenue he met at a signing is just desperate to throw herself at him. He's Cool Guy Neil Gaiman! And of course any woman he's with is cool enough to do whatever Cool Guy Neil Gaiman wants. You're cool, aren't you?
i saw people referred to him as the Jared Leto of the literary world, and like... yeah, kinda. Really, I feel like you can go into any even slightly niche or alternative subculture, and there'll be some example of Everyone's Favourite Subculture Guy who might not have started out as a sex pest, but who has spent so long with everyone around him warbling his praises and treating him like he's their idol that he simply no longer inhabits a world where he can conceive of women saying no to him, or not wanting to do anything he wants.
