The co-creator of Dan and Morty Dan Harmon deleted his Twitter account following the re-emergence of a controversial video of 2009 – but it's not the same. He has not permanently damaged his relationship with Cartoon Network's Adult Nage.
The video, titled Daryl, is a parody of the serial killer drama Dexter. In the video, Harmon enters a house and molests a doll, explaining why the video raised eyebrows on the Internet
Harmon, who created NBC comedy and co-created Rick and Morty It seems that Cartoon Network understands that: [TRADUCTION] "At Adult Swim, we seek and encourage creative freedom and strive to get things done." The offending content of Dan's recently released 2009 video demonstrates poor judgment and does not reflect the type of content that we are looking for, "said an Adult Swim spokesperson at CNET via e-mail." Dan acknowledged his mistake at the time and apologized, he understands that he there is no room for this type of content in Adult Swim. "
Harmon also issued a statement to apologize for the video, which CNET received from its representative: 19659003]" In 2009, I made a "pilot" who strove to parody the s Erie "Dexter" and only managed to offend. I quickly realized that the content was too unpleasant and I immediately took the video. you have seen and for that, I sincerely apologize, "wrote Harmon.
You would be forgiven for expecting Harmon to be able to face greater consequences. James Gunn director of Disney who shot the Guardians of the Galaxy, for tweets that he had made years ago alleging pedophilia and child rape. is certainly more edgier than Disney, but there are certainly parallels here.
But for many fans, the repercussions like those that Gunn suffered seem too extreme for the Harmon sketch, which surprises them little Given humor, here are some reactions today:
Can we stop punishing people for the things they said a decade ago? There is of course a Meme it line, but a joke, even if it's funny, remains a joke and even if we do not think about it, the world was very different 10 years ago. First James Gunn, now Dan Harmon, is crazy

The situations of James Gunn and Dan Harmon are quite disturbing. There is a clear difference between edgy / tasteless jokes and authentic beliefs. It is also clear that the alt-right butt making a stench are hypocrites of bad faith.

The right-wing commentator Mike Cernovich joined the response, unsurprisingly, given his role in "In the scene, the character of Harmon enters through a window, takes off his pants, and half-naked, rubs his bads against a doll on a couch." https: // t .co / hiCBLJfDK0
