Flutterby™! : Dan Harmon apologizes

Dan Harmon apologizes to Community writer Megan Ganz on his podcast Harmontown. That article has a transcript, the podcast episode is here, the apology starts at 18:38.

And so that’s what I continued to do, telling myself and anybody that threatened to confront me with it that if you thought what I was doing was creepy or flirty or unprofessional, then it’s because you were the sexist. You were jealous. I was supporting this person, I’m a mentor. I’m a feminist. It’s your problem, not mine, that you’re the one who’s seeing things through that lens. And so I let myself keep doing it.

Ganz has pointed to this apolog. Over on the MeFi thread it's pointed out that this is kind of like a public marriage proposal, especially given some of Harmon's fans she's kind-of got to smile and take it in public, but I do think that this sort of self-aware confession and reflection is a necessary part of starting to reframe how we communicate about the fucked up socialization we have around gender and "love".
