Im an old fan, it seemed like it kind of fell off anyway.

Doubt it tbh. Show is worth $1 bil+ and is a huge money maker for WB. The same WB that is making the Flash.

If anything they might fire the dude and the show becomes a shell of its former self.

Unless we get more concrete details or there's a conviction this will change nothing.

The latest season improved a lot from the previous season. Felt like the new writers got their groove on how to hit it.

Nah, give us a Beth-focused show. Just Space Beth and Earth Beth going on crazy adventures with Summer tagging along sometimes and having really weird sex at Jerry's discretion.

Considering what the pilot for Rick And Morty is like (and I wont even describe it because I have an abysmal moderation history and would probably get banned) I am not at all surprised by that message from him.

Jesus

I can see how if you're brainstorming a writing a session with people you can come up with weird wacky comedy ideas that then sound fucked up and bizarre when taken out of context

But just randomly texting people those ideas out of the blue? O_o

That's... fucking weird

If this is as bad as it got, which I'd kinda have to assume being that it was the "damning" evidence provided, then that's a big meh from me. Completely in line with his humor.

Not making any excuses whatsoever for the domestic violence accusations, as he should absolutely face charges if that occurred. I just dont think those messages say one thing or another.

Agreed. Is he guilty of cringe and typing like a high school freshman trying to impress his junior crush with an "out of the box, she will see I am different than all the other guys" sort of message over myspace? Sure. But that's about it.

So apparently, the domestic abuse charge has been ongoing for years. The charges are that he left his partner with "corporal injuries" (injuries being inflicted by a loved one resulting in a traumatic condition) and falsely imprisoned them either through verbal abuse or by physically not allowing them to leave. For the last couple years, Justin Roland has been going to court over these charges - it's only recently hit the news cycle, but the domestic abuse and false imprisonment charges have been going on for a long time.

His game studio, Squanch Games, also had to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit in 2019. Apparently when the victim complained, management said something to the effect that "that's just how men of this generation behave" and told them to get over it. They had to settle that lawsuit in court.

Both the ongoing domestic abuse court case and the Squanch Games lawsuit are on record. Both court cases have happened, and they started roughly around the same time period. They didn't just drop out of thin air, someone didn't drop hastily compiled receipts on a burner TikTok last week to "cancel" Justin Roiland.

That exists alongside a bunch of different text messages of Roiland speaking to women inappropriately, which are less verifiable. Personally, I think there's precedent that makes me believe he is responsible for sending inappropriate texts on top of a proven sexual harassment lawsuit and an ongoing domestic abuse court case.

In short? This looks really, really bad for Roiland. It's incredibly ugly. I said earlier itt that I didn't want to jeer because it was a huge bummer, but after hearing the scope of the shit he's been getting away with and the length of time he's been racking up these controversies, I'm mostly just disgusted. I saw a comment earlier about how many inmates are gonna ask him to do the Pickle Rick line, and that's probably the most positive scenario I would wish on him.

Sucks for Squanch Games especially. High on Life looked to be set up to be a nice little franchise for them. Hopefully the development staff can ditch Roland and whoever there covered up the harassment case.

There's a limit to how much "I'm drunk/just joking" can defend this. Especially when it's multiple people.

It's a clear pattern of behavior

This is insane, in 2015 I was part of a youtube video game review show. It was mostly just goofing off with friends but Justin Roiland contacted us about making a pilot. We even made puppets because we didn't want to be in front of the camera. He eventually kind of ghosted us and we all went our separate ways though. Did he try to use the idea of an Adult Swim pilot as a pick up line back then? lol

A woman was abused by her partner and people are making jokes. Fucking pathetic.

It's an accusation, nothing concrete yet.

She's not gonna sleep with you for immediately defending her.

It's a three year old case, not to mention everything else posted so far.

How you could read the story and this thread and respond the way you did?
Fucking disgusting dude. Whoever raised you should be ashamed.

I mean people think the guy who method acts being drunk for a character like Rick Sanchez isn't gonna be a douche?

I'd be surprised if he wasn't writing offensive and barely coherent texts.

If he is guilty of the charges he should be held accountable.

This guy made some real stinkers til he struck gold with Rick and Morty and this one other thing. I dunno, feels a bit like he got lucky, or somebody else is more responsible for any success.

Either way, he sounds a bit unhinged.
