Gay Witch Hunt (s3 ep 1) is kind of messed up
I know this will be an unpopular reason, but imo, that episode is kinda messed up for a number of reasons: Firstly, the whole reason for the episode is that Michael outs Oscar to the entire Office. Immediately messed up. And yes, whilst he apologises for it (does he?), Michael doesn’t face any consequences. Secondly, Michael borderline sexually assaults Oscar - when he kisses Oscar to show how relaxed he is about homosexuality. Once again, really messed up. Once again Michael faces no consequences. All of this forces Oscar to leave the office. One more thing - the episode starts with Michael getting mad at Toby for getting in trouble for calling someone “faggy”… Now, whilst you might argue that Michael had good intentions, that’s not the point of this. He did bad things, and didn’t face any consequences. The entire plot line is meant to be funny, and it (to an extent) normalises this kind of behaviour.
