Excellent point, not to mention TV shows and movies are *collaborative endeavors*. There are a shitload of other people's words, camera setups, and performance choices you have a relationship with, not just one person's vision. Don't let someone retroactively cancel your joy. twitter.com/clairewillett/

I have absolutely, positively failed other people during my career, and I would hate for you to stop loving characters ands stories other people put their heart and soul into because of one asshole, even if that asshole is me.

We could do a hundred tweet thread about everything I've ever done that people (sometimes inexplicably) love where I point out how that thing you love was the result of someone else's choice.
Absolutely. I'm not saying it's simple, or there should be no consideration. But I'm agreeing with the OP that the blame must fall in the right place.

I needed to hear this. I have a couple fandoms I’ve been wrestling with still enjoying but—no one person is the fandom, especially when it’s a TV show. Thanks for the reminder.
