J.G. Quintel was hired by Cartoon Network to make a show that features two characters he created that were originally part of a short about two guys tripping out on acid.

Jhonen Vasquez was asked to create a show for Nickelodeon, despite his major claim to fame being an incredibly bloody, violent comic book series about a psychotic serial killer.

Before becoming a published children’s book author, Theodore Geisel (aka “Dr. Seuss”) was once banned from writing/drawing for his college’s newspaper after being caught in his dorm room with a bottle of gin during Prohibition.  He had also created a lot of incredibly racist anti-war cartoons during World War II.

Award-winning children’s book author Jack Gantos had been involved in counterfeiting, drug dealing, and drug smuggling when he was 18.

If you are going to condemn someone on the grounds of their past, or the work they produce, you would literally have to condemn damn near everyone on tumblr for sexualizing underaged children, Nazis, a goddamn pad of paper, robots, and pretty much everything else you can think of.

For that matter, Walt Disney himself was not a picture of total innocence.  Furthermore, what a person is paid to do does not define them, nor does the work that they choose to do on their own.  You think the people working at Disney somehow didn’t know about Robertson’s work before hiring him?  Because I’m pretty sure they check these things.

NOBODY GIVES A GOOD GODDAMN WHAT YOU’RE “OFFENDED” BY.  IT’S NO ONE’S RESPONSIBILITY TO CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU DON’T HAPPEN TO LIKE.  I hate large dogs, but you don’t see me screaming at every large-breed dog owner to euthanize their pets just because I don’t happen to like them. 

Lastly, nothing Paul Robertson has done on the side has been reflected in the work he has been hired to do.  He keeps his work and his interests SEPARATE.  Thus you have literally ZERO grounds to make any accusations, nor to insist for his departure from working on the show.
