I used to like Roiland despite his flaws but following someone who makes child porn of 11 year old youtubers is hosed up beyond belief. It's really hosed up how big that whole Sleepycabin crew is, I listened to an episode once where they were all supporting Shadman and sympathising with him when he was talking about getting kicked out of school for drawing a bunch of child porn.

Man I don't have a folder for it or anything, a bunch of it has been discussed in this thread. I recall a few twitter tirades, him stating he wanted to gently caress the Summer character, him sticking his foot in his mouth over some writer's union thing, someone on the last page mentioned fetish poo poo which I have no desire to search for but doesn't surprise me. Nothing illegal just repeated instances of dickery and sliminess.

Well this isn't personal lives it's social media which is public. And like I said I still enjoy the show but when someone says "welp, Harmon*/Roiland did something lovely/creepy yet again almost as if it were a pattern of behavior" I don't think it's weird that people mock them. It seems like the people who have trouble separating the creators from their works are the ones who are in denial when bullshit like this happens. I'm fine bashing these guys then laughing at their funny comedy show.

I love rick and morty and even roilands "worst" channel 101 things but I'll make fun of him for being an idiot pedophile defending libertarian. Social media is really weird and hilarious.

Woody Allen made good movies. Poe was a great writer. John Lennon beat the poo poo out of his wife and son. MLK jr. cheated on his loyal wife constantly. Gandhi made people let him sleep in the same bed as their teenage daughters to prove he was immune to temptation, Michael loving Jackson...

It's almost, ALMOST, as if being a creative person lends itself to having severe emotional or psychological dissonance...

The Marmaduke scene in raising Gazorpazorp couldn't really have made this any clearer...

You can value the work someone has done while also being morally opposed to their personal behaviors. You can't really fully separate the two into a perfect little box, but you aren't a monster or a pervert just because you respect work accomplished by monsters or perverts.

One of the landmark moments in my cartoon watching career is a line from a great old show The Oblongs where the son, Milo is bitching to his dad about having to walk home through the psychiatric hospitals yard. His dad, played by Will Ferrell, responds "Oh son, don't call them crazy. I like to think of them as... Pathologically Inspired." Nothing since then except for the Brad Anderson bit in Rick & Morty has come close to touching me in the same way.

Dude, no poo poo. Everybody in the thread gets this. The slapfight argument is over whether it even matters or not, not whether you can separate it. Because lots of goons are ultra-libertarians too.

It is, to me, a very clear 'Chicken-or-the-Egg' issue. Absolutely, many creative people live normal healthy lives, because they have found an outlet for their creativity in a healthy way. I would argue lots of hosed up people would be less violent and abusive if they had healthy creative outlets.

In general, if you are a creative person, you are trying to make the world more like the place you want to exist in. You are writing what you'd like to read, painting what you'd like to see etc. Some artist do the opposite and highlight what they hate about the world, like Heironymous Bosch or that popart guy who draws people using cell phones as dicks or the shark in a business suit.

As an exercise, care to name any famous artists from the Golden age that weren't a little crazy or hosed up? I'm not tryna goon, genuinely curious if anyone springs to mind. My answer would be someone like maybe Sting or Bob Dylan, long fleshed out careers and no scandals that i'm super aware of, touched a lot of people's lives in a healthy way...

I just think you're being naive or coy if you're unwilling to admit that a lot of talented people are hosed up, because for a lot of us, it's the trauma that affects us that pushes us to create, and it's disingenuous to disregard that.

You have a point, you really can admire Hitler for his art...

I think the better opinion is that following someone on twitter isn't an endorsement of everything they do. What's more likely, he's a long time fan of a pedophile or a bunch of people retweeted/tagged Roiland in a R&M tweet so he followed the guy in hopes of seeing more.

I guess maybe everyone else has a perfectly curated twitter feed, only following people they've researched thoroughly.

I think it's important to call out poo poo like this so y'know, a famous guy employed by Cartoon Network doesn't lend more credibility to a child pornographer, and give him a chance to apologise or whatever.

I'm on the fence about Roiland, obviously we can't tell exactly what's going on with him, but if coincidences keep piling up that he's a dick-hole, then maybe he's a dick-hole. Y'know, he might not be a dickhole but that's what we're discussing here, at least until the new season comes out.

Glory to Mankind.

If you honestly think following someone else on twitter is at all an indication of personal preference in and of itself you have little to no idea how twitter works.

I'm far-left socialist and follow far-left socialist people and publications, most notably Current Affairs. They follow such fantastic people as Joy Reid (centrist pundit who basically vilifies nonexistent BernieBros and bashes millenials nonstop for why HRC lost despite, you know, reality proving otherwise), Kurt Eichenwald (guy who decided defending Milo Yiannopoulos, Guy Who Thinks Child Rape Is Cool and transphobic Nazi-lover, was a good idea, also centrist idiot pundit) and Richard Spencer (literal Nazi). The people I follow aren't "hidden Nazis", they follow thes ereally repellant individuals so they're aware of the stupid poo poo they spew. Following someone is not, inherently, an embracement of their politics, policies, and opinions. Retweeting and tweeting in their defense is.

I also follow Justin Roiland on twitter. I literally had no idea he followed child porn guy until it was brought up in this thread, considering he's never retweeted or talked about this dude on twitter literally ever. For all we know he got recommended to follow this dude because a friend told him to, or they run in the same circles, or it was out of politeness and he's muted all of this child porn guys' tweets simply because, again, they run in the same friendship circles.

If you even want to get upset about JR doing dumb poo poo on twitter, how's about when he went on a super dumb twitter tirade defending Pewdiepie for getting dropped by Disney for being an anti-Semitic piece of garbage. That's Actually Upsetting and a Bad Thing Justin Actually Did over finding out he follows some child porn dude on twitter who does bad things (that Justin had no part in doing and does not and has not ever defended this dude doing).

Admittedly I don't know anything about the guy other than what's being posted in this thread, but nothing seems to indicate he makes child porn. You may not be into it but there are lots of fetishes that people are into and drawing pictures of it, as far as I know, isn't illegal.

Either way, following someone on twitter doesn't give them credibility or give them a platform to "apologize". Why aren't you up in arms over the podcast that apparently has pedophiles as guests?

Edit if you have an ideological problem with the show creators you should quit watching it. That's how you combat media you don't like, you don't consume it.

Most goons don't tend to differentiate between real or drawn child porn because it gives them moral superiority boners or something, even though it just confuses conversations in general.

e: and just because I know that someone is gonna come and call me a pedophile, I'll say the obvious: they're both gross, but one is illegal and horrible and the other isn't illegal and has no victim involved.
