Much like Lowtax, Roiland has never been proven guilty in a criminal case.

it did come out in the discovery phase of the Twitter trial that he falls over himself to slob on Elon's knob, though; one of the reasons why Elon got so embarrassed that he just went ahead and bought it so discovery didn't have to continue.

I can't find the actual statement from the Orange County DA's office, but the stuff quoted doesn't jibe with all the headlines claiming Roiland was "cleared."

quote:

“We dismissed the charges today because there was insufficient evidence to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt,” Kimberly Edds, a spokesperson for the district attorney’s office, said in a statement.

Edds said that “significant additional information came to light.”

I mean, that doesn't sound like "cleared" to me.

I love how Roiland and Dan Harmon were creative partners for years and somehow Harmon was the lesser gross son of a bitch in comparison, a man whose Wikipedia page also contains the subheadding "Sexual misconduct".

Apparently even Harmon couldn't stand Roiland after working for more than a season of Rick and Morty with him, according to an expose in Vulture or something. Like Adult Swim had to hire a mediator because Roiland is so weird and pathetic that Harmon couldn't even deal with him.

Valid point, and not this this dismisses it, but Dan Harmon did own up to this to such an extent that his victim actually accepted his apology.

Wasn't there an article after the allegation against Roiland came out that said he essentially hadn't contributed creatively to R&M or most other projects in years? With R&M it sounded like he stopped showing sometime in season 2 becuase the newer writers didn't want to just write "OMG SO RANDOM" jokes constantly. And he'd just show up with porn stars and try to be as disruptive as possible. Sounds like he's basically been recording his lines from home since then.

Basically it sounded like the dude has a major alcohol problem and acts like a loving creep when he's drunk, which is constantly. If that's the case I'm sure no one was sad to see him go and I don't see him being welcomed back, but who knows, more hosed up things have happened in the name of money.

this verdict changes nothing about the fact he's become reviled for being lazy and annoying sex pest and everyone working on a property tied to him has wanted to push him out for ages.

Rick and Morty is an OK show. The last couple of seasons were pretty bleh. The people who take the show too seriously make it remarkably uncool and the series should've probably ended after season 3 or 4.

He is still lots of other flavors of lovely, including being a total sexpest and yes probably also a pedophile.

Justin Roiland being a huge piece of poo poo has been a well-known fact since even before Rick and Morty, but a lot of people gave him a pass because he seemed like he was at least self-aware of it and trying to make himself less lovely. And because the part about him being a pedo sex creep wasn't super widely known until this domestic violence story first went public. Like, there were suspicions, and we knew the guy's brain was kinda sus...... but we didn't have all the text message screenshots and poo poo to back it up until now.

Naw, Sid is just "joshing" with ya!

But seriously, Morty nearly getting raped in the bathroom by a weird jellybean guy was a real plot point in one of the early episodes.

Pretty sure Roland's explanation was something to the effect of Morty being perceived as this irresistible piece of candy to King Jellybean. And I'm sure King Jellybean bending Morty over the toilet while growling, "just let it happen!" is surely taken out of context by the wokes.

Because a lot of their fans are underage and easily impressed. Jhonen Vasquez had a ton of underage girls chasing him around at cons. For many of these lumpy dorks the ethics go right out the window when they realize how much power they have in these situations. Why would they settle for some 23yo old bag who is old enough to know better?
