GolfHole posted:this guy dan harmon is seemingly always popping up as a creep too It's on record that Dan Harmon is emotionally abusive and "difficult to work with". In my own self-pitying boozer days, I loved Harmontown, but part of this negative self-mythologising, "I'm a piece of poo poo" act Harmon does is that it can be about giving yourself license to continue to act that way. "Oh, I got sad drunk and joked too much about killing myself again - ha ha, that's me, the piece of poo poo!" When I got my poo poo together, I started seeing Harmon a lot differently and find his whole demeanour kind of manipulative. To be fair, I haven't followed him closely in a few years, so if he's sober and looking after himself now, more power to him. With that said, I don't to my knowledge believe Harmon is anything more than a lovely husband and a lovely boss. Which is lovely, but (perhaps sadly) not criminal.

Harmon's actually divorced now but seems to still be on good terms with his wife as she makes the title cards for his company. He does seem to have got his poo poo together. A few years back there were accusations from one of his co-workers that he'd been lovely to her and making unwanted advances. In response he gave what seemed like a heartfelt apology and desire to make ammends and his victim at least did believe him. We'll never really know the whole truth but I'd like to believe at least one rear end in a top hat can change.

I think it’s fair to see some of the Rick and Morty creators’ abusive behaviors reflected in the series and to feel unsettled by it now that more scandals have come to light. I certainly do, and I totally understand if it ruins the entire show for some. Makes it easier to boycott at least if that’s your thing. Personally I already knew about Dan and Justin’s misogyny because I’ve heard how they talk about women, so for me this news mainly uncovers new lows of problems that were always visible. Dan even admitted that his sense of male entitlement affected how he treated the women around him when he made his public apology to the writer he harassed on Community. It would be great if Justin could showcase a similar degree of self-awareness, though I’m not holding my breath. That sexism of theirs is most evident in early seasons of Rick and Morty before they diversified the writers’ room. Raising Gazorpazorp is the clearest example of it. There’s also notable ableist jokes in various episodes that mirror the sort of demeaning language Dan and Justin would use in the season 1 commentaries. But, with that being said, acknowledging how an artist’s known flaws manifest in a work is different from assuming that every artist who depicts bad things does so because they are guilty of it themselves, and so I implore everyone not to generalize those who tackle difficult topics in their work. Even if the framing of an issue is poor, it’s often unwise to take interpretations of art as a straightforward representation of the artist’s views. In general, criticisms can be made about whether a piece of art is in poor taste without jumping to conclusions about the creator with no evidence. In this case we do have some evidence to identify the point of view of a few writers, but sometimes messages are conveyed that the artists don’t intend. Furthermore, interpretations of art may differ and depend on how much (or how little) fans are reading into the material. For example, I think Rick and Morty’s portrayal of abuse is quite multifaceted. It sometimes shows abusive behaviors for dark comedy, like the scene in the season 3 premiere where both Summer and Rick are yelling at Morty and calling him an idiot, but in the larger narrative Rick’s abuse of Morty IS taken more seriously and framed as cruel and harmful. The characterization of Rick even changes over time (likely on account of the new writers) as he shifts from being an intimidating all-powerful figure to a deeply flawed, emotionally weak person. Now, is this change in Rick’s character positive or negative in terms of the show’s portrayal of abuse? Is it good because it knocks Rick down a peg and makes him seem less “cool” to the viewer? Or is it bad because it makes the viewer sympathize with a child abuser too much? Is having sympathy for a character who does bad things wrong? Is it perhaps encouraging us to extend our sympathy to real life abusers? There is no right answer to those questions. It’s all opinion. And the show itself is an amalgamation of a whole team of writers’ imaginations. Not just Dan and Justin’s. So remember that and be comforted by the knowledge that you are free to interpret and appreciate art the way you see fit. If you don’t like what you see and the pain association is too strong, then you may want to drop it and find something else to enjoy. Otherwise, if it helps you or provides you with some fulfillment, treasure that feeling. It is yours.

I had a crush on Lacey Chabert when I was a kid, and I didn’t tell anyone because I thought they would think I was a pedophile. Turns out Lacey Chabert is several years older than me and I was worrying for nothing, turns out being attracted to short chicks is perfectly wholesome.

Powerful Katrinka posted:Weird Al and Alex Trebek are still clean, thankfully There was an episode of some show on FOX, I think it starred Donald Logue, where the parents found out their 17 year old daughter was dating a 30 year old who was played by Seth McFarland. It was a clear attempt to drive viewers to the show by featuring the Family Guy dude, but now I kind of wonder if the showrunners selected that particular episode as his guest star slot for a reason.

Family Guy had that episode about Quagmire's sister being in an abusive relationship, so if MacFarlane is outed as an abuser people are going to go over that with a fine toothed comb looking for proof that he was an abuser all along. Because there must have been some sort of prior proof in his shows, otherwise it would mean that anyone could be an abuser. And deciding who is and isn't based on the vibes their tv shows give off isn't actually a reliable method.
