creeps
Always fascinating to see one of these fandom predators get busted and then see how many people you know were friends with the guy on social media. At least two, in my case!

I mean, I get it, you can't always tell who's an abuser and who isn't, I've had my own creep-radar blindness issues, but as far as I know this latest thing has been going on for decades, do people not talk to each other about these creeps? Was he just that good at moving from group to group and keeping things compartmentalized? Or did everybody hear things and just say "well that's nonsense" or "he never creeped ME out" or otherwise handwave it away? Because that's one thing I KNOW happens, I've seen it.
