Seems very hasty to me. Anyone anywhere can be accused of anything, anytime by anyone. By the time the next season of Rick and Morty and Solar Opposites come out we should know if he's guilty or innocent so couldn't we just wait for that? He needs to be fired, like immediately? Adult Swim and Hulu could just put up a statement -- if ANYTHING -- and just be like, "We are actively monitoring the situation with Mr. Roiland." If he's guilty? Fine, fired, right there and then. If they get sh** about "why are you guys working with a woman beater?" the answer is, "thank you for the question. The answer is that we don't know if he's guilty yet."

B-b-but Andrew, he has to be guilty. The internet said so and he's the new woke target now.

Unbelievable Tales and House of Cosbys are still the best things Justin Roiland ever did.

It made me wonder, if the allegations come out and it turns out that it was all blown out of proportion and his name is cleared then he could be hired back on, kinda like how James Gunn got to return to the director's chair for the last GotG installment even after he was CANCELLED for all those old tweets (which, to be fair, were all in like exceedingly poor taste, however I don't think any of it was ever criminal). But it could definitely also be the case that he actually did whatever it is he's been accused of, well few people are gonna be sympathetic towards him

Interesting, if true:
https://www.darkhorizons.com/rick-mo...iland-fallout/ Roiland hasn't been in the writers room at all in years and apparently hasn't even been on speaking terms with Dan Harmon also for years? Quote:

That's why it makes me angry when companies fire people for petty reasons to appease the woke mob. I'm always hoping the people weren't fired-fired and were just 'nudge nudge wink wink' fired to shut the mob up.

Deff sounds like they are just emphasizing how the show will be able to continue on essentially unchanged aside from a change in voice actors by downplaying his creative input, which sounds legit to me
A more interesting thing to consider to me anyways is who will they recast with, and will they go with one or two people

The charges have been dropped. Not clear if he'll resume his acting though.

What about the text messages he sent to those underage girls? I had a feeling that the domestic abuse charge was baloney, but I still can’t look past the fact that he’s possibly a predator.

Were any of those texts confirmed? I could manufacture some uncomfortable text messages to me from Jane Fonda right now if I wanted to.

All the other bits of gossip and testimonials from people who worked with him still paint a telling tale of his character conduct. It'll be like what it is with Noel Clark from Doctor Who, he'll never get meaningful work again either because there's too many inside stories of him being toxic.
And what would be the point of coming back? Rick and Morty hasn't been funny in years. |

Plus it's 'cool' to hate Rick and Morty now so everyone kinda hops in the chance to trash it, wether the show itself or the actors.

If the texts are in fact proven to be fake, I’ll admit I was wrong.

Uh oh, they've already named Roiland's replacement on Solar Opposites:
https://www.darkhorizons.com/stevens...lar-opposites/ And they're continuing to recast all of his parts on Rick and Morty. Just like that. Roiland wasn't convicted of any crime but is ruined.

Yeah it's troubling that even when someone is exonerated their career is basically ruined because they've already been collectively "cancelled" and as we all know society rarely reverses a cancel.
SMH stupid mob mentality groupthink

Right... Season 7 sucks really hard so far and we're almost halfway through. Rick and Jerry having their minds shuffled was OK but the President hijacking Unity was not good, while the Spaghetti and Poopybutthole intervention episodes are easily contenders for the worst episodes in the entire show.
