Dan Harmon, The Hollywood Reporter, and Child Rape as Parody

Dan Harmon thinks that child rape is funny.

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.”

"Quickly realized ..." nine years later? No. Harmon thought that kind of portrayal was acceptable because the vast majority of Hollywood elites or self-serving amoralists who don't have a problem with child abuse of molestation of minors.



This is horrifying! It took Harmon nine years to suddenly realize that child rape, and abuse of a baby in particular, is offensive.

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?

  1. 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?
