Posting about comments he made defending the lack of projects by women at Adult Swim:
"What I actually said was-women don't tend to like conflict, comedy often comes from conflict, so that's probably why we (or others) have so few female projects. Nonetheless this was a dumb answer to a good question as Lucille Ball and Gilda Rather to Amy Poelher and Amy Schumer prove my statement a load of generalized nonsense.
I have always been very accessible to every person at work because I personally benefited from working at a company that allowed anyone, from any position, to pitch an idea-as long as the person was prepared to back up their ambition by doing any work required to justify the time or expense. If unnamed sources want to complain, complain about me after I've read the script you asked me to read or tossed you out of my office for pitching something I didn't like. If you did come to me I bet I offered some decent suggestions on how to accomplish whatever you wanted to do.
I do sometimes yell and I'm not proud of it. (Inherited.)
Metalocalypse: the writer above has it correctly. In the latter seasons particularly, the story hijacked the comedy. If BOTH creators can figure out how to work together again, we are open to reading new scripts.
I still love great anime. I was watching it, loving it and being influenced by it before most of you were born (using the parlance of the great, selfish internet). One Punch Man is very, very good.
Thanks. mike lazzo."
