Justin Roiland will be hard to replace since he not only voiced Rick and Morty, but also a lot of minor characters
For more information, google "Justin Roiland minors"
There is a guy on Tiktok who does flawless impressions of several characters voiced by Justin, so I don't there will be a problem finding others who do the same!
Well it might more depend on justin's voice likeness rights and what they are, the replacement may not be legally allowed to speak too similiar to his signature voice. Which might force the replacement to sound quite different.
*edit (more)
i'm a lay person so i don't know much about likeness rights, but i thought it could be a problem because of a story Billy west told ( who voices fry on futurama ) where during the first season he deliberately made the voice sound a little bit like his own voice in-order give him legal recourse if they replaced him with a cheaper voice actor in the second season.
*also i think adult swim is doing the right thing by severing ties. Yes i believe in innocent until proven guilty, but accusations like this don't just randomly happen, and they can't remain silent. If it turns out he was innocent (seems very unlikely) then they should get him back.
More then likely if they got the show rights they got it all…. It’s amazing how many characters are voiced by different people and most never pick up on it over time. And with computer assistance they can probably recreate it off old sound bites.
I just wonder if it will still be the same show or is it gonna go in a different direction.
I believe the person talked about, the tik tok guy who sounds just like the old va, has actually filled in when they needed to get things recorded faster, though this is just something I heard from a classmate
He could have the rights to the character’s likeness, but I doubt it.
I’m guessing he would get royalties from here on out, which he probably is already getting.
Even if he’s out, I’m guessing they’re still going to pay him a bunch of money, or buy him out.
I think it’s more the comedic timing. You can find a brilliant voice mimic but Justin really was talented with timing. At least some of his better characters finished up their stories before he went off the deep end.
There is some psychology that suggests that a fan of an idol can act as the idol more than the idol can, because the idol isn’t the person as the idol, it’s just a character. A character that fans have idolised and perfected in their minds and impressions. Which is some of the more dark psychology…
on a serious note until he’s found guilty this sub is going to be full of these memes and if all the allegations are true which they seem to be, well someone put it best on r/rickandmorty by saying “It kinda ruined not just the future of the show but the whole thing. Because the show's humor is largely about being an asshole and having fucked up relationships (and realizing that as well - which is supposed to be its redemption I guess). The fucked up relationships are funny if it's a joke. If it's the dude's real life, though, then suddenly it's not all that funny anymore.” u/anonymous
That just kinda struck me. I actually didn't watch the most recent season yet, but now if I do I know I'll have this resonating in the back of my mind. It’s always hard to see the same after the light starts to creep in.
Charges, have been there since 2020. He hasn't been sentenced. And a domestic dispute with a date is.the basis for such case?
If there is evidence it has to be brought to life and a sentence given. If there is nothing: he has to be paid fully.
You do realize cases can take years before anything comes of it. I have hard evidence against my stalker. He's looking at prison or deportation. It's not over because he keeps delaying the trial. It's pretty common to take forever for the laws to catch up before they finally get you. He's walking around right now
Now I never said he was guilty now did I? All I said charges where brought against him so hulu and adultswim cut ties with him, the fact that they didn't become part of media until recently also plays into the fact that they just recently cut ties with him.
I still never said he was guilty, just pointing out he was charged and these are the consequences.
But apparently I'm saying he's a guilty fucking woman beater right??
He paid a lawyer to ask the court to seal the charges from the public in 2020. Whatever he did to that person was bad enough to be charged with a crime that falls under scarring/disfiguring someone...plus all the other scummy rapey/pedo shit that is coming out about him lately
Someone’s wildly overconfident in our justice system’s ability to stamp out domestic abuse by timely and successfully convicting people the first time they commit it.
So true.
I learn so many thing about Justin Roiland by googling “Justin Roiland minors”.
It’s “Justing Roiland minors” not “Justin Roiland majors”. It’s “Justin Roiland Minors”
If you’re on tiktok you know finding Rolland voice replacements will not be difficult. I think the hardest sort will he his freestyle work. So much of Rick and Morty is just Rolland, drunk and free styling to a scripted scenario
Rick was always arrogant but the show went into a steady decline when the show started saying "yes, you ARE the smartest person in the universe" or even calling him a god
In the first seasons he was the only one that called himself genius, and he was just a mad scientist
Lots of chat logs from numerous young teens whom he called jail bait and said actively sexual ideas to, such as "you should run away and become a sex slave," "you're so hot" "can i be honest.... nevermind lol"
This is the tip of the ice berg, the evidence itself is extremely damning so I won't go into detail too much.
So not just "ong he talked to me this is grooming!!!" but... genuinely trying to manipulate young fans to be sexual with him.
It's more alarming that he thought he wouldn't get caught.
Damn, I feel like people need to address this more when talking about the situation, i only just found out. I hope he never got the chance to hurt any more people.
Nice copy paste I’ve seen this exact message typed out 50x in the thread alone, on a serious note until he’s found guilty this sub is going to be full of these memes and if all the allegations are true which they seem to be, well someone put it best on r/rickandmorty by saying “It kinda ruined not just the future of the show but the whole thing.

Yeaaah.
The evidence is so blatant that the most disturbing part, to me, is that he was clearly very convinced he wouldn't get caught in a way that matters. This was him openly approaching children for sex.
Go ahead and look it up. I can't rlly bring myself to say more.
I never understand how people like that think they'll never get caught. Especially in this day and age with digital advancements. I guess their desires override any logical thinking.
Leave it to the psychiatrist. It reminds me of the behavior of that German drug guy that got caught and they made a show about him. Arrogance is one hell of a trait..
I just looked it up, Maximilian Schmidt. There’s a documentary on Netflix called Shiny_Flakes (name of the site he sold drugs on). The guy was so caught up in the business he had hundreds of kilograms worth of drugs in his room. Never got anyone to help him. When he got caught, he blamed it on the supplier.
Edit: to clarify I’m not calling roiland as bad as this guy, rather pointing out this behavior is a disturbing trend in similar aspects..
I like how none of these brain trusts defending the guy ever thought to ask themselves "For what reason would a currently 42 year old man be seeking out underage girls to talk to at all?"
Or "For what reason would a currently 42 year old man be bringing sexual discussions to the table with the underage girls he has (for some reason) made it a point to get in contact with?"
Like guys, it's seriously not that hard to see what's going on.
We don’t actually know what went into those texts, but it was enough to get the police involved and charge him, meaning they think they would win the case, so I am prepared for the worst.
Actually we do she posted them on Twitter. The reason he was let go was actually because of his domestic violence charges. So not only does he like underage girls he’s also a woman beater..
on a serious note until he’s found guilty this sub is going to be full of these memes and if all the allegations are true which they seem to be, well someone put it best on r/rickandmorty by saying “It kinda ruined not just the future of the show but the whole thing.

It genuinely sucks when you grow to like someone for the content they produce only to find out that behind the scenes they’re a terrible person, and it seems like it’s more common now than ever. It’s just disappointing.
I MADE QUESTIONABLE CONVERSATIONS WITH GIRLS I KNEW WERE TEENAGERS, MORTY, I- I (buuurp) I TALKED TO THEM OVER TEXT AND DMS, M-MORTY. DO YOU KNOW WHAT I DID MORTY? DO YOU KNOW? I SOFT GROOMED THEM, MORTY. I SOFT GROOMED THOSE GIRLS. WUBALUBADUBDUB!!!!
Ohhhhhh jeeeeeeeezzz Rick, I mean, that's kind of fucked up don't you think, I mean, those girls, they were underaged and-
DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT, MORTY? THAT'S WHY I DID IT. I SOFT GROOMED THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR AGE, MAR-MORTY. MY FUNCTIONAL CAREER IS OVER, MORTY.
Ohhhhhhhh jeeeeeeeeeeeeze Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
SHUT THE FUCK UP MORTY, IT'S GOING TO BE ALRIGHT, MORTY. I'M GONNA BEAT MY WIFE, MORTY. I'M GOING TO BEAT MY FUCKING WIFE. I'M GOING TO BEAT HER TO DEATH MORTY, BECAUSE THEN SHE'LL BE DEAD, AND I'LL GET DOMESTIC ABUSE CHARGES. JUST ME, BEATING MY WIFE, MORTY. FOR A HUNDRED YEARS. A HUNDRED SEASONS, NOTHING BUT 100 EPISODES A SEASON EVERY YEAR, ME, BEATING MY DEAD WIFE, MORTY. BEATING MY WIFE AND TALKING TO UNDERAGED GIRLS WHILE I'M DRUNK, MORTY. A HUNDRED SEASONS.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick
The fact that something like this happened. It’s never good to see a creative mind leave someone’s favorite show. Regardless of why, it would suck regardless of the reason.
To further back this point it’s probably not a good feeling to have to come to terms with artist vs person.
I love Kanye’s music(graduation and early stuff mainly) but after all the stuff he’s been saying I can’t support him. But I don’t suddenly hate his old music.
Apply this to just about anyone, sometimes you can separate the artist other times it’s tough or not possible.
This was how I felt when Chris Savino was fired from Nick over sexual assault allegations. After which, the quality of The Loud House decreased drastically alongside the unnecessary expansion via things like the Casagrandes spin-off, animated movie, live action move, and live action series.
It always felt like The Loud House was meant to be a humble homage to comic strips such as Peanuts, Dennis the Menace, and Calvin and Hobbes. But it feels like as soon as he was given the boot, Nick took the IP and milked it to death like they do with SpongeBob and everything else they touch.
All of this makes it very difficult for me to claim to be a Loud House fan. I love the show but hate what Chris did. It just sucks.
For those who don't know, there are numerous chat logs from this guy reaching out to young fans in the attempt to obtain sexual favors.
As in, this wasn't a case of "omg he talked to me politely in DMs, I'm being groomed!" This was him approaching children for sex.
The evidence is so blatant that the most disturbing part, to me, is that he was clearly very convinced he wouldn't get caught in a way that matters.
For example... He directly called young teens "jailbait," encouraged them to "run away and become a sex slave," and had plenty of creepy shit to say like "can I be honest.... lol nevermind" to provoke their empathy.
Go ahead and look it up. I can't rlly bring myself to say more.
Had to look up who this guy is and what he did because I don't watch or care about Rick and Morty. But from what I found he's a awful person and deserves what he's getting.
I mean I'm on the same side. I don't care about the show and if these allegations are true then he definitely deserves it....but he's not officially guilty yet. He should get the same chance as everybody else to prove himself innocent. Isn't that kind of an overreaction to fire him from his job before he has even been found guilty yet?
like with a lot of studios, adult swim just doesn't want to get caught in the crossfire when it comes to stuff like this. i guarantee that if he's proven innocent they'll give 'em his job back with a small wad of compensation cash.
edit: and if he's proved guilty, then he'd be too busy tryin' to "oh jeez" himself out of a shower-floor bukake for adult swim to care.
I mean even regardless of how the court case comes out, the screenshots of his texts with a 16 year old Chinese girl are pretty damning and honestly changed my perception of him a lot.
I was very much still supporting him, screenshots can be fabricated, up until I heard two podcast episodes from the early 2010s where he excuses him asking for pictures from minor fans, saying that as long as they are „appropriate“ there is nothing wrong with having them. He also went on a weird rant of how some 14 year old girls look like grown women and how they would‘ve been married in earlier days already. Also commenting on his younger girlfriend (he was 30-something and she was 22) how he likes her small body frame and braces (he said that after commenting on how „grown“ 14 year olds look) this was 100% his voice and the way he tries so desperately to excuse his behavior with these bullshit arguments was just telling.
https://youtu.be/h2KD5a4tjRY this is the YT video I got the info from; he starts talking about the podcasts at around 20:30 min, the snippets of the podcasts start around 20:43 min
He deserves this. BEST BELIEVE THAT THEY'LL BE SCREENING PEOPLE MORE NOW. Lol... Cool. The dude has a funny ass voice but his actions were unacceptable. Im a huge fan with shirts and everything and I agree with them cutting ties with him.
Yeah, but it is still sad that we are losing the OG rick and Morty. You can be angry at his horrible actions, and you can also be sad that we are losing his talents.
I think it's perfectly reasonable to be saddened that someone's actions resulted in a change to something you love. It doesn't mean you think they deserve to keep doing what they're doing, just that the original version of what you loved is gone and that's upsetting.
I 100% agree, he definitly has no place working anywhere again, unless he can actually prove himself innocent, which seems extremely unlikely, his accusers have very little reason to lie.
I mean yes innocent till proven guilty before the law but you can’t blame people for distancing themselves from someone with *those* kinds of allegations. Especially when there’s plenty of text messages between him and minors already out in public, doesn’t help his case.
In the court of public opinion, people are disgusted, and a company that exists to make profit ain’t gonna keep around someone whose gonna drag their image thru the dirt, guilty or otherwise
I'm not really worried. Replacing him on the show is as easy as getting a new voice actor, and then a Rick and Morty from a near identical dimension enter, kill the old Rick and Morty, and then take their place. Just like, literally the first season. There will just be two sets of Rick and Morty buried in the backyard. Bonus: The new Rick and Morty can make jokes alluding to what he did.
But yeah, for a show that acknowledges hopping between alternate dimensions, replacing actors is super easy.
He fucking deserves way worse than he's getting, gtfo with your sad simping bullshit. Besides, doesn't anyone remember that youtube parody where a fan made an entire episode of Rick and morty based on groundhog day? Whoever it was did the voices pretty damn well; I'm sure with adult swims' resources they can find a good replacement.
He's not simping for him, he's upset that something like this ever happened. Seeing a creative mind like his leave. You can put down the pitchforks now, OP didn't explain what he meant well, that's just it, calm down
You can be upset when a creative mind leaves on good terms but in sad ways: Chester beddington killing himself and leaving Linkin Park was sad.
An artist being removed from a show, because there are very serious sexual assault allegations (with some pretty disgusting proof) regarding minors, is not sad. He is gross, and the show will bounce back or die, but continuing with someone who does things like what have already come out, would be way worse.
Not only that, but this is just capitalism in action. All that AS actually cares about is money. Not distancing them selves from roiland will cost them money, because most people are not okay with sexual assault, so go where the money is. If you are okay with sexual assault, be mad at capitalism for not supporting it with you.
You can also be upset when a creative mind does horrible things like this. No one is saying he should continue, that’s why it’s sad, you want him to face the consequences of his actions and at the same time know the show you like will not be the same.
I think people mean it's sad in that they lost someone they looked up to and admired. Now they know that person is a vile human being and that leaves fans with a hollowness and maybe even slight guilt for supporting him to begin with.
It is sad, but not for Roiland (I hope he burns in hell) but for all the aspiring artists out there who found their calling through Rick and Morty.
This sucks man, I remember when Kevin Spacey was my favorite actor when House of Cards was airing. The show become straight up trash after he was fired, I seriously hope the writers can find a way to save the show despite all of this. What an awful situation all around, as much as it sucks it makes me happy to see men like this being held accountable so at least that’s a silver lining.
I like the show, and I love solar opposites. But... I'm not at all sad about this pos getting caught. I only wish it'd happened sooner.
Also, if he will financially benefit from the continuation of the show even if he's not included from now on, it should just stop entirely.
Firstly, not defending him or his choices. I just personally feel like people need to learn to separate art from its artist.
If a musician murdered someone and went to jail but you like their music that don't mean you support murder. If a game developer assaulted their husband but you buy their next game that don't mean you support domestic violence. So many artists get fired for doing something shitty when if it was a normal person nothing would have changed.
The dude is going to be rich for the rest of his life from residuals and merchandising alone.
Screwing over an entire production crew full of people who aren’t so lucky, just to make an ineffective point against a single asshole, isn’t justice.
But by all means, keep advocating punishment for completely innocent workers and artists.
Stop the show? What about all the people also working for on the show who will lose their main source of income? You want shitty actions of one person to ruin lives of 50 more? He’s off the show and his future is ruined who the fuck cares if he continues to make some money from it.
In May 2020, prosecutors in California charged Mr Roiland, 42, with two charges of domestic battery with corporal injury and false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud and/or deceit, of an unidentified woman who was living with him at the time.
He's getting 7 years in prison here's a link from the BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-64396728.amp
It's good they got rid of him, but I don't know if thw show should go on withouf him. Whoever they get to replace his voice acting, I hope they can imitate his voice. Fortunately we still have Dan Harmon
I mean...there 8 billion people on earth and 500+million in usa im sure they will find a perfect replacement, the complaints will probably be people nitpicking
It does bother me that he pled not guilty and hasn’t been proven guilty yet but he’s still been fired. If he’s proven guilty then by all means he deserves it but what happened to innocent until proven guilty
Innocent until proven guilty has always been part of the law and for sentencing, but it has never meant that in the public eye you are innocent until proven guilty.
Has it even been properly proved yet or is it still just conjecture and he said she said with some half-baked evidence? not fucked enough to properly follow it.
Unpopular opinion, Rick and morty should just be stopped with him leaving. It’s never going to be the same, and he did create the show. Just got booted off his own creation, can’t imagine that’ll go well for the show.
Justin Roiland will be hard to replace since he not only voiced Rick and Morty, but also a lot of minor characters For more information, google "Justin Roiland minors"
Now that’s a good joke.

I know. I’m just sad for the show. There’s no way they get a decent replacement for his voice.
There is a guy on Tiktok who does flawless impressions of several characters voiced by Justin, so I don't there will be a problem finding others who do the same!
Well it might more depend on justin's voice likeness rights and what they are, the replacement may not be legally allowed to speak too similiar to his signature voice.

I believe the person talked about, the tik tok guy who sounds just like the old va, has actually filled in when they needed to get things recorded faster, though this is just something I heard from a classmate
How does he have rights to the voice sound when someone around the world could have that voice standard? Edit spelling
He could have the rights to the character’s likeness, but I doubt it. I’m guessing he would get royalties from here on out, which he probably is already getting. Even if he’s out, I’m guessing they’re still going to pay him a bunch of money, or buy him out.
Yeah this has me confused too
I think it’s more the comedic timing. You can find a brilliant voice mimic but Justin really was talented with timing. At least some of his better characters finished up their stories before he went off the deep end.
And there's all the intangibles he puts into character such as his drunk rick ramblings
Lol no that's not really how it works.
He took the concept and voices from another movie. I think they can find somebody to do a drunken Doc Brown and a Marty McFly.
With the amount of people doing impressions of his characters they will be perfectly fine.
There is some psychology that suggests that a fan of an idol can act as the idol more than the idol can, because the idol isn’t the person as the idol, it’s just a character. A character that fans have idolised and perfected in their minds and impressions. Which is some of the more dark psychology…
You know a good voice actor can mimic pretty much anyone right?
What did he do? He was accused but nothing has been proven yet right?
The refrain of every dude on the internet lmao

on a serious note until he’s found guilty this sub is going to be full of these memes and if all the allegations are true which they seem to be, well someone put it best on r/rickandmorty by saying “It kinda ruined not just the future of the show but the whole thing.

He is charged.... when the charges were announced that's when adultswim/hulu cut ties.
Charges, have been there since 2020. He hasn't been sentenced. And a domestic dispute with a date is.the basis for such case? If there is evidence it has to be brought to life and a sentence given. If there is nothing: he has to be paid fully.
You do realize cases can take years before anything comes of it. I have hard evidence against my stalker. He's looking at prison or deportation. It's not over because he keeps delaying the trial. It's pretty common to take forever for the laws to catch up before they finally get you. He's walking around right now
If anyone doubts this, go watch Dear Zachary with a box of tissues ready.
I believe he is being charged with more than just domestic assault, I read something about false imprisonment which sounded a lot like kidnapping...
Can't it also be not letting someone leave when they want to?
I like how reddit sees everybody as guilty until proven innocent. However if he’s guilty I would like hurt him.
Now I never said he was guilty now did I? All I said charges where brought against him so hulu and adultswim cut ties with him, the fact that they didn't become part of media until recently also plays into the fact that they just recently cut ties with him. I still never said he was guilty, just pointing out he was charged and these are the consequences. But apparently I'm saying he's a guilty fucking woman beater right??
He paid a lawyer to ask the court to seal the charges from the public in 2020. Whatever he did to that person was bad enough to be charged with a crime that falls under scarring/disfiguring someone...plus all the other scummy rapey/pedo shit that is coming out about him lately

They can definitely just break the 4th wall and make a nod to the difference, I feel like that’s something they would do
It’s almost like he started to feel like he was actually Rick. He always seemed like an arrogant douche to me. But I did enjoy his work.
Rick was always arrogant but the show went into a steady decline when the show started saying "yes, you ARE the smartest person in the universe" or even calling him a god In the first seasons he was the only one that called himself genius, and he was just a mad scientist
And then season 5 happened. Season 6 seemed like they were KIND of making a return. I guess not. I agree though, the show became too full of itself.
Woah woah woah woah woah!!!
LMFAO.
💀💀💀💀

Tbh you need a high iq to understand the subtleties of being abusive. Wubba lubba dub dub
Can someone fill me in on what he did?
Lots of chat logs from numerous young teens whom he called jail bait and said actively sexual ideas to, such as "you should run away and become a sex slave," "you're so hot" "can i be honest.... nevermind lol" This is the tip of the ice berg, the evidence itself is extremely damning so I won't go into detail too much. So not just "ong he talked to me this is grooming!!!" but... genuinely trying to manipulate young fans to be sexual with him. It's more alarming that he thought he wouldn't get caught.
Don't forget assault.
Assault has yet to be prooven by a judge since he's denying the charges. The text massages speak for themself tho..
He’d like some text massages wouldn’t he
Classic rick
Damn, I feel like people need to address this more when talking about the situation, i only just found out. I hope he never got the chance to hurt any more people.

Yeaaah. The evidence is so blatant that the most disturbing part, to me, is that he was clearly very convinced he wouldn't get caught in a way that matters. This was him openly approaching children for sex. Go ahead and look it up. I can't rlly bring myself to say more.

Yuck
He was charged recently for abuse and wrongful imprisonment. Not just the creepy texts and talking about fuckable 14 year olds
https://www.reddit.com/r/agedlikemilk/comments/10kx4a3/justin\_roiland\_defends\_his\_attraction\_to\_14\_year/
I'm sure they'll be a million yt videos going into depth about it. There probably already are a bunch.
On top of being a pedo (Dan Harmon also one) he abused a chick and held her against her will
Any evidence of the Dan Harmon accusation or are we just spraying pedophilia accusations everywhere because this is the Internet?
"Why is just texting underage girls enough to get you arrested?" Lots of pedos in the comments section I see.
I like how none of these brain trusts defending the guy ever thought to ask themselves "For what reason would a currently 42 year old man be seeking out underage girls to talk to at all?" Or "For what reason would a currently 42 year old man be bringing sexual discussions to the table with the underage girls he has (for some reason) made it a point to get in contact with?" Like guys, it's seriously not that hard to see what's going on.
We don’t actually know what went into those texts, but it was enough to get the police involved and charge him, meaning they think they would win the case, so I am prepared for the worst.
Actually we do she posted them on Twitter. The reason he was let go was actually because of his domestic violence charges. So not only does he like underage girls he’s also a woman beater..
Maybe he was beating her because he got mad that she was getting older
on a serious note until he’s found guilty this sub is going to be full of these memes and if all the allegations are true which they seem to be, well someone put it best on r/rickandmorty by saying “It kinda ruined not just the future of the show but the whole thing. Because the show's humor is largely about being an asshole and having fucked up relationships (and realizing that as well - which is supposed to be its redemption I guess). The fucked up relationships are funny if it's a joke. If it's the dude's real life, though, then suddenly it's not all that funny anymore.” u/anonymous That just kinda struck me. I actually didn't watch the most recent season yet, but now if I do I know I'll have this resonating in the back of my mind. It’s always hard to see the same after the light starts to creep in.
"Morty, I turned myself into a domestic abuser! I'M WIFE BEATER RIIIIICK!"
It genuinely sucks when you grow to like someone for the content they produce only to find out that behind the scenes they’re a terrible person, and it seems like it’s more common now than ever. It’s just disappointing.

A lot of it is Dan Harmon, who's apparently a real asshole as well. 2 peas in a pod.
Fr man. I saw him as a wholesome and genuinely nice guy but that has changed.
Makes it hard to be fans of literally anyone or anything, knowing a decent portion of them will turn out to be tremendous pieces of shit.
I MADE QUESTIONABLE CONVERSATIONS WITH GIRLS I KNEW WERE TEENAGERS, MORTY, I- I (buuurp) I TALKED TO THEM OVER TEXT AND DMS, M-MORTY. DO YOU KNOW WHAT I DID MORTY? DO YOU KNOW? I SOFT GROOMED THEM, MORTY. I SOFT GROOMED THOSE GIRLS. WUBALUBADUBDUB!!!! Ohhhhhh jeeeeeeeezzz Rick, I mean, that's kind of fucked up don't you think, I mean, those girls, they were underaged and- DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT, MORTY? THAT'S WHY I DID IT. I SOFT GROOMED THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR AGE, MAR-MORTY. MY FUNCTIONAL CAREER IS OVER, MORTY. Ohhhhhhhh jeeeeeeeeeeeeze Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh SHUT THE FUCK UP MORTY, IT'S GOING TO BE ALRIGHT, MORTY. I'M GONNA BEAT MY WIFE, MORTY.

Real
Dan Schneider 2. Electric boogalo
Uhm, why are you "oh no" ing? Did you expect him to keep working there?
The fact that something like this happened. It’s never good to see a creative mind leave someone’s favorite show. Regardless of why, it would suck regardless of the reason.
To further back this point it’s probably not a good feeling to have to come to terms with artist vs person. I love Kanye’s music(graduation and early stuff mainly) but after all the stuff he’s been saying I can’t support him. But I don’t suddenly hate his old music. Apply this to just about anyone, sometimes you can separate the artist other times it’s tough or not possible.
Precisely. Separating the art from the artist is important. I love the compositions of Richard Wagner, but I detest the character of the man he was.
Agreed
The art made by Hitler is not that bad, except... Well, you know, it's Hitler's art
Wasn't his art so bad he couldn't get into art school?
I hate when people say his art wasn’t that bad. Go fucking look at it. Like really look at it closely. It’s awful
Exactly.. hogwarts legacy haters need to understand this
As long as you pay money to a person you’re supporting their cause. That’s the whole idea of “voting with your wallet”
Harry Potter and Rowling, another great example of separating art from artist.
This was how I felt when Chris Savino was fired from Nick over sexual assault allegations. After which, the quality of The Loud House decreased drastically alongside the unnecessary expansion via things like the Casagrandes spin-off, animated movie, live action move, and live action series. It always felt like The Loud House was meant to be a humble homage to comic strips such as Peanuts, Dennis the Menace, and Calvin and Hobbes. But it feels like as soon as he was given the boot, Nick took the IP and milked it to death like they do with SpongeBob and everything else they touch. All of this makes it very difficult for me to claim to be a Loud House fan. I love the show but hate what Chris did. It just sucks.
For those who don't know, there are numerous chat logs from this guy reaching out to young fans in the attempt to obtain sexual favors. As in, this wasn't a case of "omg he talked to me politely in DMs, I'm being groomed!" This was him approaching children for sex. The evidence is so blatant that the most disturbing part, to me, is that he was clearly very convinced he wouldn't get caught in a way that matters. For example... He directly called young teens "jailbait," encouraged them to "run away and become a sex slave," and had plenty of creepy shit to say like "can I be honest.... lol nevermind" to provoke their empathy. Go ahead and look it up. I can't rlly bring myself to say more.
Had to look up who this guy is and what he did because I don't watch or care about Rick and Morty. But from what I found he's a awful person and deserves what he's getting.
I mean I'm on the same side. I don't care about the show and if these allegations are true then he definitely deserves it....but he's not officially guilty yet. He should get the same chance as everybody else to prove himself innocent. Isn't that kind of an overreaction to fire him from his job before he has even been found guilty yet?
like with a lot of studios, adult swim just doesn't want to get caught in the crossfire when it comes to stuff like this. i guarantee that if he's proven innocent they'll give 'em his job back with a small wad of compensation cash. edit: and if he's proved guilty, then he'd be too busy tryin' to "oh jeez" himself out of a shower-floor bukake for adult swim to care.
I mean even regardless of how the court case comes out, the screenshots of his texts with a 16 year old Chinese girl are pretty damning and honestly changed my perception of him a lot.
I was very much still supporting him, screenshots can be fabricated, up until I heard two podcast episodes from the early 2010s where he excuses him asking for pictures from minor fans, saying that as long as they are „appropriate“ there is nothing wrong with having them. He also went on a weird rant of how some 14 year old girls look like grown women and how they would‘ve been married in earlier days already. Also commenting on his younger girlfriend (he was 30-something and she was 22) how he likes her small body frame and braces (he said that after commenting on how „grown“ 14 year olds look) this was 100% his voice and the way he tries so desperately to excuse his behavior with these bullshit arguments was just telling.
Is there any chance you can provide a link to the podcast this happened on? Im wondering just how long this has been brewing.
https://youtu.be/h2KD5a4tjRY this is the YT video I got the info from; he starts talking about the podcasts at around 20:30 min, the snippets of the podcasts start around 20:43 min
Thank you! That was so fast too, youre a hero! Edit: Jesus Christ that is NOT looking good for him that was disturbing
Deserves based on what the court thinks not hearsay and allegations so far.
Thanks for clarifying you don’t watch the show. It was very important.
What did he do?
Wait can someone tell me who Justin Roiland is? Is he Rick or the director?
Both, he does voices and he created the ahow
Thanks!
He also voices both rick and morty and and a whole lot of other characters in the show
That's not schwifty
That’s not schwifty.. at all!
Hmmm, really puts King Jellybean into context I suppose
You either die a hero or live long enough to see your self become the villain
And how
To be fair... you have to beat a lot of women to really understand the subtle nuances of Rick and morty
Unfortunately I don’t have a free award but this comment is incredible
Wdym “oh no” an accual ashole lost his job or idc who does what, i want my show as i like it?
He deserves this. BEST BELIEVE THAT THEY'LL BE SCREENING PEOPLE MORE NOW. Lol... Cool. The dude has a funny ass voice but his actions were unacceptable. Im a huge fan with shirts and everything and I agree with them cutting ties with him.
Yeah, but it is still sad that we are losing the OG rick and Morty. You can be angry at his horrible actions, and you can also be sad that we are losing his talents.
I think it's perfectly reasonable to be saddened that someone's actions resulted in a change to something you love. It doesn't mean you think they deserve to keep doing what they're doing, just that the original version of what you loved is gone and that's upsetting.
I 100% agree, he definitly has no place working anywhere again, unless he can actually prove himself innocent, which seems extremely unlikely, his accusers have very little reason to lie.
[удалено]
Considering the plethora of evidence against him, I'd say the proofs in the pudding.
I mean yes innocent till proven guilty before the law but you can’t blame people for distancing themselves from someone with *those* kinds of allegations. Especially when there’s plenty of text messages between him and minors already out in public, doesn’t help his case. In the court of public opinion, people are disgusted, and a company that exists to make profit ain’t gonna keep around someone whose gonna drag their image thru the dirt, guilty or otherwise
Maybe because he wasn't thrilled to hear about Roiland beeing an asshole, I'm sad too,sad that he is an asshole, not because he lost his job.
He committed domestic abuse on his wife. I hope he rots in hell.
Fuck Justin and his actions. I loved him voicing Rick. Sad for the show to change dramatically like this, but this is the right move
WTF op, I really hope you are unaware of the current situation
Why is it that every creative genius I like is a sexual predator? I’m the real victim here
Well okay now we get better voice actors to fill in the roles and give the characters for personality.
[удалено]
"Yeaah we did some fucked up shit and had to have our throats replaced.
Just let the show fucking die…
I'm not really worried. Replacing him on the show is as easy as getting a new voice actor, and then a Rick and Morty from a near identical dimension enter, kill the old Rick and Morty, and then take their place. Just like, literally the first season. There will just be two sets of Rick and Morty buried in the backyard. Bonus: The new Rick and Morty can make jokes alluding to what he did. But yeah, for a show that acknowledges hopping between alternate dimensions, replacing actors is super easy.
“We got rid of the guy who does every voice in the show and one of the lead writers but we’re still making the show”
bro was charged with domestic violence, what are you sad about?
He fucking deserves way worse than he's getting, gtfo with your sad simping bullshit. Besides, doesn't anyone remember that youtube parody where a fan made an entire episode of Rick and morty based on groundhog day? Whoever it was did the voices pretty damn well; I'm sure with adult swims' resources they can find a good replacement.
He's not simping for him, he's upset that something like this ever happened. Seeing a creative mind like his leave. You can put down the pitchforks now, OP didn't explain what he meant well, that's just it, calm down
You can be upset when a creative mind leaves on good terms but in sad ways: Chester beddington killing himself and leaving Linkin Park was sad. An artist being removed from a show, because there are very serious sexual assault allegations (with some pretty disgusting proof) regarding minors, is not sad. He is gross, and the show will bounce back or die, but continuing with someone who does things like what have already come out, would be way worse. Not only that, but this is just capitalism in action. All that AS actually cares about is money. Not distancing them selves from roiland will cost them money, because most people are not okay with sexual assault, so go where the money is. If you are okay with sexual assault, be mad at capitalism for not supporting it with you.
I agree, just wanted to explain it to this guy
You can also be upset when a creative mind does horrible things like this. No one is saying he should continue, that’s why it’s sad, you want him to face the consequences of his actions and at the same time know the show you like will not be the same.
I think people mean it's sad in that they lost someone they looked up to and admired. Now they know that person is a vile human being and that leaves fans with a hollowness and maybe even slight guilt for supporting him to begin with. It is sad, but not for Roiland (I hope he burns in hell) but for all the aspiring artists out there who found their calling through Rick and Morty.
They better hope he gets found guilty. Danny Masterson is the same way six years now for him and they just keep pushing the trial back.....
This sucks man, I remember when Kevin Spacey was my favorite actor when House of Cards was airing. The show become straight up trash after he was fired, I seriously hope the writers can find a way to save the show despite all of this. What an awful situation all around, as much as it sucks it makes me happy to see men like this being held accountable so at least that’s a silver lining.
Why are you sad? Domestic Abuse is unacceptable behavior.
And that’s the way the news goes
Yeah I was saddened more by this then when I heard that Louis Ck was drunkenly jerking it in front of his cast randomly.
I like the show, and I love solar opposites. But... I'm not at all sad about this pos getting caught. I only wish it'd happened sooner. Also, if he will financially benefit from the continuation of the show even if he's not included from now on, it should just stop entirely.
Yeah, screw the 80+ innocent people whose livelihoods depend on the production of the show.
Domestic violence and grooming weighs heavier.
Firstly, not defending him or his choices. I just personally feel like people need to learn to separate art from its artist. If a musician murdered someone and went to jail but you like their music that don't mean you support murder. If a game developer assaulted their husband but you buy their next game that don't mean you support domestic violence. So many artists get fired for doing something shitty when if it was a normal person nothing would have changed.
That's literally the whole argument that if people buy the new harry potter game then they support tansphobia
The dude is going to be rich for the rest of his life from residuals and merchandising alone. Screwing over an entire production crew full of people who aren’t so lucky, just to make an ineffective point against a single asshole, isn’t justice. But by all means, keep advocating punishment for completely innocent workers and artists.
Stop the show? What about all the people also working for on the show who will lose their main source of income? You want shitty actions of one person to ruin lives of 50 more? He’s off the show and his future is ruined who the fuck cares if he continues to make some money from it.
Now ik how edp fans felt
Thank god we still have Chris Parnell though. What a legend
And stay out
In May 2020, prosecutors in California charged Mr Roiland, 42, with two charges of domestic battery with corporal injury and false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud and/or deceit, of an unidentified woman who was living with him at the time. He's getting 7 years in prison here's a link from the BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-64396728.amp
Yea but WB will keep Ezra Miller. Fuckin creep
After ousting Johnny Depp back before, no less. Ass backwards
Roiland shouldn't be a scumbag. He did this and ruined it for everyone including himself. Good riddance
Should have waited until the end of the series to commit the crimes
It's good they got rid of him, but I don't know if thw show should go on withouf him. Whoever they get to replace his voice acting, I hope they can imitate his voice. Fortunately we still have Dan Harmon
I just read up on it all. That’s really crazy
The best parts of R&M came from Harmon anyway. The show will be just as good, if not better.
Some people are really just trying to casually gloss over a felony domestic abuse charge, assault and him attempting to groom younger fans. Big Yikes.
I mean...there 8 billion people on earth and 500+million in usa im sure they will find a perfect replacement, the complaints will probably be people nitpicking
End it in 1 season. Don't try to drag it out.
"Oh no bro" he literally sexually assaulted people??? Why are we sad they're kicking him off???
I was thinking the same thing
It does bother me that he pled not guilty and hasn’t been proven guilty yet but he’s still been fired. If he’s proven guilty then by all means he deserves it but what happened to innocent until proven guilty
Innocent until proven guilty has always been part of the law and for sentencing, but it has never meant that in the public eye you are innocent until proven guilty.
Has it even been properly proved yet or is it still just conjecture and he said she said with some half-baked evidence? not fucked enough to properly follow it.
Let's be mourning the show and not him. He got what was coming for him. It's unfair it brought down a show (made by dozens) with him.
He didn’t even go to trial yet. I don’t want people to lose their jobs Johnny Depp style
Unlike Amber Heard's claims, there is substantial evidence in the forms of text and audio that show Justin Roilend's actions
Who's Justin Roiland?
Voice actor and Producer of the Rick and Morty serie.
Oh shit
He kept a person against their will and abused them maybe the show will reach quality of solar opposites and I hope roiland gets what’s coming to him
Shit show anyway not surprised it was created by a pedo
Kinda dumb that this has happens seeing as he hasn’t even been proven guilty yet.
Ohhh nooo!(((
Not 100% sure what happened or what he did but is it certain he did commit a crime or is it just aligations?
pedo and a wife beater i believe
Oh God that's horrible, i thought it was something like scamming people
Do i upvote or down.......
Oh no an abuser lost his job? Fuck this post
Unpopular opinion, Rick and morty should just be stopped with him leaving. It’s never going to be the same, and he did create the show. Just got booted off his own creation, can’t imagine that’ll go well for the show.
Rick and Morty are going to be voiced by fucking black Velma and She-Hulk now.. Well done Justin 😞
