Neil Gaiman has been obnoxiously progressive on Twitter. How is he problematic?

If you read the Endless series I could see quite a few ways his work could be considered problematic. Starting with Delirium being a rainbow hair gendeless tumblrina for instance
The time has come for the Necromaster. The unleashing of the fourth joker's card. The arrival of The Great Milenko

I've read it, it's been a long time though. I don't remember anything too bad in there. His comics are actually the only bit of his writing that I liked.

There isn't really, but if you go looking for things to be offended by:
Desire is androgynous (non-binary train) and is one of the most vile, evil wicked characters. It's strongly implied their "female" aspect is the more evil.
Despair is a short, obese woman with greyish skin and irregularly-shaped teeth. Of course the only way he could represent despair was with a fat woman. That's misogyny and fat shaming rolled together.
Like I said, Delirium is a tumblrina. Of course insanity and delusion are represented by a rainbow hair genderfluid teenager.
The "heroes" are all white men (Dream, Destiny, Destruction).
Death is just there for the male gaze/fan service.
Ultimately though his biggest mistake was representing women as having agency and being capable of doing bad things. That kind of shit will get you cancelled super fast.

Don't forget the part where the divine personification of womanhood flatly rejects
FtMsMtFs and doesn't consider them to be real women.Jump in the discussion.

Huh, where's that? I remember a transsexual character in the book but no run-in with gods

In a Game of You a witch calls on the power of the Moon to transport all women present into the dreamland to help Barbie, the main character of the story. Wanda, who is Barbie's transsexual friend, is left behind, and the reason is explicitly given that the Moon doesn't accept her as a woman.

American Gods was a good read but not something I'd revisit, most of the charm was the novelty. And Good Omens with Pratchett is gold

I forgot about good omens, I did really like that one. American Gods was boring. I finished it but it never wowwed me.

Good omens takes some of the best parts of both authors and combines them for sure.
