I don't really get your contradiction. I don't want to be predictable, however you really did not give a reason for me to not hate him.

Let me say that Scarlett Fever was based on that disease. It was only just the episode name, where it basically have no effect on the plotline itself. It does not even have any illnesses mentioned throughout the episode that is joked around, if you don't count Chris trying to make them die in the explosion. Nothing truly happens in the process by the name of Scarlett Fever.

On the other hand, here we have Mike with Multiple Personality Disorder, where there is no cure. They should have made something about Mike having that disorder managing to be happy even it failed to be healed. But no, they tried to exceed the limits by a simple button which does not make sense. Let I try to say that he is not offensive, but this method needs to be further analyzed.

Let me make an example of someone having a mental disorder. Let me take Sussie from the World of Gumball as a great example. Sussie practically had a different vision than others, shown in the episode The Weirdo. They tried to change her, but in the end they decided to not change what she really was.

The writers should have wrote about Mike for this disorder he cannot heal. Not saying he was offensive, as you will say.

But still, does not really give me a doubt to like him.
