Some people like to say things like “hate the man, but the love the artist” in reference to people like Roman Polanski, who are just monsters that made some of the greatest art of the 20th century. MacFarlane is kind of my example of the opposite of that: “love the man, but hate the artist.” He’s so painfully unfunny, but the direction he took the Orville in where it basically became what contemporary Star Trek should be, dealing with contemporary sociopolitical issues while being overtly anti-capitalist, is genuinely refreshing. If nothing else, he’s used his influence in the industry to secure a space for talented and progressive writers to craft some genuinely engaging good, issue focused science-fiction. So, kudos.
