I mean honestly it would be kind of dumb. Hey look we are going to cancel your show because a random subreddit leaked a decade old video of you acting in a distasteful parody.

that was before the news story about it's creator broke. it's not like they can't change their mind. it's literally what happened to Roseane. the show was renewed for a 2nd season before her tweet. then she did what she did, and they changed their mind.

Its almost like theres a difference between shit tweeting while working for Disney, and working on a cartoon that airs at midnight on an exclusively comedy channel.

I mean, the pilot episode of Rick and Morty on channel 101 had some extreme shit in it, and they picked up the show.

Its not like Adult Swim was expecting a family friendly cartoon here, or that they didnt know what Harmon and Roiland were bringing to the table.

Plus, the "offensive" Harmon thing was from years ago, and AS is known for being edgy. Roseanne's deal was right now, and she just keeps making if worse for herself (re: "I thought the ***** was white!" and talking about being scared to leave her mom's house because she was "on an island of brown people").

that was supposed to be a parody of Dexter.

because it's not. it makes no sense. Dexter goes after peope who killed and gets them. this guy was raping babies to make them not become killers......? wut

there is nothing about his plan that makes any sense. it's something an insane person would come up with. so it's stupid and doesn't fit with Dexter.

I don't understand what the issue is with some pilot he created almost 10 years ago that was supposed to be a parody of Dexter. Am I missing something?

https://www.vox.com/2018/7/24/17608440/dan-harmon-daryl-apology-deletes-twitter

In 2009, I made a pilot which strove to parody the series Dexter and only succeeded in offending. 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.


The thing youre missing is we live in a society where the only thing that matters is outrage.

What this whole thing boils down to is this: Roseanne got fired, now we have to find somebody on the other side to get fired! Its only fair!!!!!!!

I don't see it as a parody because it doesn't match the original. if he was a raping killers or something. that would be a pardoy. but he's raping innocent people. the entire point of dexter is he goes after non innocent people. when they take the gimmick away it's not dexter anymore. whatever. I i'm just thinking about in a different way than you are I guess. to me, calling it a parody makes no sense. but you do you

If you think that ADULT SWIM of all places is going to let go their biggest moneymaker over something extremely edgy that pushed boundaries a long time ago, then idk what to tell you

James Gunn was different because Disney unilaterally fired him without even consulting Marvel or Feige. They can also make money without Gunn helming GotG (or they think the PR blowback will result in less of a financial hit than an Alt-Right slander campaign would)

I stated in the other topic, but it being a parody of Dexter makes no sense.

How is raping babies a parody of Dexter?

Dexter kills other serial killers, the people he kills are guilty making Dexter a grey area character.

Are people really arguing that the babies Dan Harmon raped in his pilot deserved it?

They didn't portray it that way at all

Not enough people have a high enough IQ to understand Rick and Morty so unfortunately the show flopped.

For such a low bar, I'm surprised there aren't enough people that can watch it.

I mean the character Dexter pushes ethical boundaries by trying to justify murder. It seems that parody has the same theme. Then Harmon took it down shortly after because it was too offensive.

It doesn't not make sense. It makes sense, it's just not a parody most people want to see.


Did you watch the sketch?

Dan Harmon drugs the babies then fucks them while they are asleep. How is that similar at all to Dexter's situation?

That's what this seems like because this is apparently a crusade led by the alt-right (at least the article suggests that).


Yup. Its why once you get past the initial story, it almost always ends up at, b-b-b-ut Roseanne!

You're not missing anything. That's literally it.

But you see "they" (democrats) got one of ours (roseanne), so now we need to scramble to get one of theirs! It's fair!

Conservatives have no genuine offense here and they've never been offended by rape or dead baby jokes before, but they just want to pull down someone they perceive to be a poster child of liberal media.

Yeah, he pulls his pants down and fucks the doll with his bare dick. (which is obscured by his bare ass)

Basically he tricks parents into medicating their kids, then he sneaks in their house and rapes the babies while they are sedated.

There's nothing absurd about Dexter that isn't explored in the show.

Maybe I just don't have a high enough IQ to understand why raping babies somehow shows the audience how stupid Dexter is.

I even read the wall of test on the rick and morty subreddit and it makes no fucking sense.

Well, that would be the joke...wouldn't it? The whole theme of Dexter is that he justifies doing something awful for the greater good. Harmon's sketch has the same theme, it's just not something people want to see.

ok fine. I didn't watch it so maybe I just missed part of the message. if the point is that his character is stupid than it's ok I guess.
