Dan Harmon, creator of the popular animated series "Rick and Morty," removed his Twitter after a wave of criticism related to his old sketch about raping children. The video about which we are talking about was published back in 2009, but now again began to gain popularity in social networks. In it Harmon plays a pedophile psychologist and in one of the scenes imitates sex with the baby.

By removing his account, Harmon also published a statement. "In 2009, I took off a pilot who was thought of as a parody of Dexter, and succeeded only in that he turned out to be very insulting. I quickly realized that it was very tasteless, and removed the video. No one should ever have seen what you saw. I sincerely apologize, "Harmon noted..

Spread the video started by users who are associated with the movement of "alternative right". It is supposed that in this way they "straighten out" the liberals who themselves like to "remove scalps" from conservatives - for example, for racist jokes. Possible initiators of the attack on Harmon explain it by the fact that if liberals can "ruin the lives" of people because of any statements in social networks, then the same methods can be used against them too.

A similar scandal a couple of days ago arose around the director of "Guards of the Galaxy" James Gunn. "Alternative right" began to spread in the social networks of his old tweets, where he admits ambiguous statements about the deadly sick people, pedophilia. As a result, Disney decided to fire Gunn. "Offensive statements found on James's Twitter account can not be justified. They do not coincide in any way with our values, that's why we stop business relations with him, "- noted in Disney.

With the company's decision, many did not agree: under the petition demanding to restore Gunn as director, more than 250,000 people have already subscribed.
