This is horrific.
One tweet exposed this hateful, evil, disgusting behavior:

Hollywood Reporter excuses Dan Harmon Child Rape video
The way that the Hollywood Reporter played down this story is beyond disgusting.
The sketch with Dan Harmon raping a baby is not some mere controversy.
It's an abusive video. It's child rape, and the fact that there is a growing expose of child predation and abuse swallowing up careers is proof that Harmon's sick display should not be taken as some kind of sick joke.
Keep in mind that Harmon deleted his Twitter account.
Dan Harmon, the creative mind behind Rick and Morty and
Community, deleted his Twitter account Monday morning after a video he made
years before resurfaced online.
The video in question was a spoof of the Showtime series
Dexter and featured Harmon's character traveling back in time to stop serial
killers by sexually assaulting them when they were infants. In the sketch,
Harmon is seen breaking into a house and simulating rape on an infant doll.
"A spoof ..." really?
“In 2009, I made a 'pilot' which strove to parody the series
Dexter and only succeeded in offending," Harmon said in a statement
acquired by The Hollywood Reporter. "I quickly realized the content was
way too distasteful and took the video down immediately. Nobody should ever
have to see what you saw and for that, I sincerely apologize.”
Harmon, who currently runs the wildly successful Rick and
Morty on Adult Swim, deleted his Twitter account and all its tweets following
the video's resurfacing. The move comes on the heels of filmmaker James Gunn
being fired at Disney after controversial tweets of his from a decade ago
resurfaced.
"Controversial" tweets is all that the Hollywood Reporter will write. Unbelievable. "Controversial" would be a Hollywood writer stepping out of character and calling out the Democratic Party's history of racism and sexism. Controversy would include an actor picketing and shouting condemnation against Washington DC.
What Harmon and Gunn did was advocate for creepy, criminal behavior, far more than utter "controversial" things.
In a statement obtained by THR, the network said, "At
Adult Swim, we seek out and encourage creative freedom and look to push the
envelope in many ways, particularly around comedy. The offensive content of
Dan’s 2009 video that recently surfaced demonstrates poor judgement and does
not reflect the type of content we seek out. Dan recognized his mistake at the
time and has apologized. He understands there is no place for this type of
content here at Adult Swim.”
No changes have been made to Harmon's employment at the
network.
Why not?
He didn’t actual do anything, though, right... as far as we know? He didn’t actually hurt any children, you know, in real life?
