In a Twitter exchange with writer Megan Ganz, the Community creator acknowledged his bad behavior, tweeting: “i’m filled with regret and a lot of foggy memories about abusing my position, treating you like garbage. I would feel a lot of relief if you told me there was a way to fix it. I’ll let you call the shots. Til then, at least know I know I was an awful boss and a selfish baby.” Ganz responded: "I wish my memories were foggier. I wish there was a way to fix it. It took me years to believe in my talents again, to trust a boss when he complimented me and not cringe when he asked for my number. I was afraid to be enthusiastic, knowing it might be turned against me later."

Would it count if he treated a male employee 'like garbage'? Of course not. This is the PC police out to further their political agenda - and their own careers.

Can't anyone apologize to anyone for acting badly? What's your agenda? You keep spewing hate for anyone who seems in the least bit liberal. Is your agenda that half of this country should hate the other half? Watch some Laverne and Shirley and lighten up.

Dan Harmon’s apology to former Community writer Megan Ganz was unusual in that it wasn’t damage control — it was a self-reckoning
Harmon, says Caroline Framke, “did something that few other men have done when called out on predatory, destructive behavior: He took real responsibility for his actions, dug deep into the ugliness that caused them, and pledged to do better. Whether or not he will is another question entirely. With this apology, at least, he has shown others a way to accept blame for their worst instincts — which will be crucial if anything is to change going forward.”
