I don't think there's any chance of Roiland going to jail or Adult Swim canceling Rick and Morty, but I still hope if he did what he's accused of, he gets fired and replaced. It's not like he's doing some insanely unique voice, just hire a professional to do it.



I mean sadly, yeah "this person thinking that transgender people don't exist isn't a dealbreaker for me to give them money" is true of a lot of Harry Potter fans. There's a lot of people who wanna play that lovely looking Hogwarts game without getting so much as a cock-eyed look over it.

Fuck the DH
The thing with most culture is that the financial soect is based around a creator receiving payment and then producing work. Most of the boycotts for "supporting terrible people" neglect that the terrible person already made their advance or their royalty and thus they're already rich.

The networks ultimately pay for this poo poo. The old "unless you're a Nielsen household" argument applies. The best thing you can do is bitch about it in avenues the networks actually listen to. That means their pages on the usual billionaire-owned social networks. Trolling the Something Awful Forums will accomplish little.

Edit: Apparently Rowling has no idea of how labor markets work in addition to her bad takes on gender politics. If nobody shows up to the Universal theme park with her license, she'll still be rich but a lot of Floridians who don't share her opinions will be out of work.

i think it depends on what comes out in trial and other poo poo. if he manages to beat the wrap or whatever or stuffs "messy" then he will probably be fine, if he is convicted or reall bad poo poo comes(then whats already there) its hosed.

That’s not how royalties work at all. Like, there’s no upper limit to how much money they can take in if they control the rights.

It’s true that your individual boycott doesn’t really matter and I’m not going to spend my time telling people to stop watching stuff made by horrible people. But the backlog of games, books, shows, and so on is so big for me that it’s not hard to use “are they a terrible person?” as a useful filter to cut that list down.

I’m sad to hear that Rick and Morty is probably getting caught in that net.

I put the three in that order so everyone could come on the same journey I went on.

"he DM'd an adult e-girl and tried to make a threesome happen and she declined? ok."
"...that's a really hosed up thing to say, but not a crime."

On top of the royalty correction, this also isn't really right. If nobody showed up at Harry Potter land then Universal pulls down a few signs and goes back to being whatever they called it back when it was just generic Merlin medieval and Rowling eats poo poo and some people get a laugh. Which is about what any audience can manage against a really rich person. But yeah, not going to act like individual action is going to turn back the tide.

It is harder in this case just because of how much his literal and metaphorical voice are part of the shows. Also puts his decision to just coast by the Middleditch accusations for Solar Opposites into a worse light that would make it much harder to go back to.

I'm guessing cynically that the big thing is going to be how much it goes into mainstream news and how much of the new allegations can be substantiated and what manages to catch.

They’re deep enough into the production order from what I remember reading that if he went to jail *today* it probably wouldn’t be an issue for a couple years. Stuff gets recorded years out; production was already on season 8 last year and 9 is supposed to be in production by mid year.

I think it took something like 18 months for Bob’s Burgers to finally run out of Jimmy Pesto voice roles after the actor got fired for invading the Capitol on January 6.

I think it's worth emphasizing how much of a sick gently caress this poo poo is. Like, he could have gone the "normal" rich pervert rear end in a top hat route, and hire young twenties sex workers, which is creepy and coercive enough. But no, he can't get off to that, he needs some hosed up power discrepancy thing where he literally grooms children and tricks them into getting drunk and poo poo. It's so far beyond something semi-relatable like "oops, I got drunk and hit on someone younger than me at a bar or in DMs and they were creeped out and then I stopped". ugh i don't even want to spend time thinking about this thought process

Honestly it just makes me feel stupid. The origin of the show was literally an older man in a position of authority coercing a kid to suck him off, and how funny that is. And then the first real episode also had creepy sex stuff with Rick making Morty shove the seed up his rear end. I've been growing more and more concerned with how much the show sexualizes Morty, Summer, and other school kids like Summer's friends, but I figured I was just being too sensitive, too much of an SJW. After all, it's just a joke, right? It's totally normal to write stories about supervillains who threaten to piss all over 16 year old girls, surely.

But no. Turns out, that whole "people will tell you who they are" thing has some truth to it.
