The creative force behind 'Rick and Morty,' 'Community' and 'Krapopolis' was a say-anything provocateur until a changing culture, a few brushes with cancellation and lots of therapy scared him into silence. But boy does he miss his soapbox.
It always sounds like Dan tried to be his friend the best way he could at the time, but Justin didn’t want to change, grow up or get better. They fed off each other probably. And meanwhile, Justin was abusing women and continuing to make everyone as miserable as he was.
It’s the difference between being an addict and recovering, and not. You just can’t condone any of that. Dan can’t be held responsible for another person’s actions, I’m sure he’s reckoned with his own ways via therapy and finding healthy relationship, and I get that trauma of having cared about and worked alongside a toxic person who was actually an Anchor, but got you career success.
But that’s the consequence. Justin crossed too many lines, had a pattern of behavior, and his victims brought a legitimate case. There’s no remorse from me.
Thanks for your patience. I was agreeing with you, just thinking it through out loud. Sorry if my use of “you” was confusing. One of those times it means “one” I guess.
It’s a shame. They’ve done a lot of great work together, but you’ve got to know when to walk away from someone like that.

Oh, none from me either. I’m just trying to make sense of it.

You’re good.
