Okay. I don't know how exactly describing someone as basically an engine of perpetual rage against his co-workers is "desperate rationalizing fanboy defense," but Okay.

This was 95% about predicting conditions within the studio--almost nothing about Roiland. But okay yeah totally rational way of viewing the post sure.

I liked and upvoted your comment dude, chill out and take the complement. I'm saying your excellent observation convinced me.

I read "he was a boiling cauldron of open contempt" as a term of respect. A reasonable person should always be in contempt of those people.

Okay. I'm not sure any time in the history of anything has saying that someone sounds like a "fanboy" been anything other than frank dismissal...but right, willing to look past it.

If this went as I described, I'd respect it too. It reminds me of talking about the television show Lost in its first season. They had this character Sawyer, who was clearly set up to be the "bad guy," the antagonist, to all the primary characters. I said to a forum that he was the only one I found tolerable, and was met with "What? But he's such a jerk. He's so mean!"

I responded with "Yeah, but look at who he's mean to. They're all huge assholes. It's okay to be a jerk to assholes."

Harmon has been a garbage man for years, and he's been on the press circuit explicitly talking about his garbage vision for the studio. Reading between the lines on all these recent hit-pieces on Roiland, it sounds very much like Harmon stuffed the company full of his partisans. I find it funny all these "whistleblowers" basically describe Roiland's seemingly bad behavior as out of the blue, while simultaneously narrate him getting pushed out of his own creation.

Then, of course, comes all the microscopic scrutiny of every text of his they could get ahold of, going back years. It's basically an Alec Holowka situation all over again, and I bet they'd love the same outcome.
