I'm assuming this is about Neil Gaiman. 9 women, the youngest being 18, have come forward and he made them sign NDA's. Even if it was consensual the stuff he's admitted to doing is just awful. As a girl, I have every right to be angry that people like him view women as toys to use and abuse.

"Have you poured through the facts? Seen the figures? No? So let me get this straight, Mr. Reynolds... You get your information from a book, written by men you've never met, and you take their words as truth, based on a willingness to believe, a desire to accept, a leap of... humph dare I say it? Faith?"
Someone who reads articles and has emotional bandwith.
credulous
A normal internet user
Are we talking about anyone in particular here?
Nope
He's referring to Neil Gaiman.
One word I might use is "premature". I definitely don't know about other people, but rather than the anger implied in the question, if someone had a crime or misdeed attributed to them, if what happened mattered, my biggest inclination would be to try to fill in the gaps in my mind. Along the way, this of course potentially implies things like "why did they do it", "how was it done", and "did they really". A lot of people, however, consider it conclusive based on what amounts to public perception, something I am no stranger to being on the receiving end of, and I don't think I have to tell you how destructive that has turned out. It compels me to wonder how scary our state of existence is, especially when typically getting "to the bottom of something" is associated with neurodivergence.
angry
Curious to find the same information from another source to verify it is real.
whoever wrote that article must be good at either citing or rage-baiting.
or both.
