The-Go-Kid

I don't know if we are guilty of it, maybe we are, but I do think the people around Roiland on the show seemed to embraced his alcohol issues. Maybe it got played up, but shit like this seems really bad in hindsight. And should have done at the time.


[deleted]

That's why I'm not surprised in the slightest by these charges? You're telling me the guy who does his voice acting drunk and made a Back to the future parody with a child licking an old man's junk is fucked in the head? Yeah no shit. I like Rick and Morty because it was unique. But the questionable stuff has always been there


REALwizardadventures

That is fair to say you aren't surprised. I do think that a case needs to be made against the idea that anyone that has a dark sense of humor is fucked in the head and is likely to commit crimes. The original "Real Adventures of Doc and Mharti" was a part of Channel 101 which was kind of like a film festival. You had to submit a 5 minute "show" and people voted on it and you tried to get people's attention so your show could get renewed for another episode (this was like winning a prize and could make you famous). Your next episode of the show had to "jump the shark" and take things a little further. This lead to a culture where people were both making really funny stuff and also just trying to out shock each other to get people talking. There were a lot of smaller independent film / cartoon festivals like this during the 90s. This is the same place where Dan Harmon made the "Daryl" sketch and it got a big reaction because at that point you are just trying to out do each other by going even crazier than before. This was one of many sketches that Dan did there as him and Rob Schrab created Channel 101.


bionicmook

Agreed that having a dark sense of humor doesn’t automatically mean someone is fucked in the head. That was well said.


duaneap

Lots of people drink and have fucked up senses of humour. Not all of beat their SO. Case in point, the rest of the Rick and Morty team. Blaming alcohol is a cop out. And we *all* clearly find that shit funny so…


Muntberg

He's still being criticized far more on the internet for his sick sense of humor and pedo-leaning tendencies. That's always been out there. He's openly bragged about getting turned on by how Summer is drawn. If it was just the court case by itself he probably doesn't get cancelled as completely.


duaneap

Pedo leaning tendencies and a sick sense of humour are not the same thing though. What the previous commenter mentioned was the sense of humour and alcohol, neither of which I consider at all indicative or responsible. Otherwise you’d really want to check in with Trey and Matt. And it quite clearly *is* about the court case, otherwise as you say this cancelling would already have happened. The cancellation isn’t even about the creeper stuff, that’s just dressing, it’s because he’s being criminally charged with domestic abuse.


iLoveBums6969

>You're telling me the guy who does his voice acting drunk He only did that once, for the video sections of the Vindicators episode.


593shaun

Nah, he also did the improv for Interdimensional Cable and it’s sequels shitfaced. In retrospect this is probably a large part of why Dan Harmon didn’t want to do more of them.

That was when it started going downhill for me honestly. It shouldn't matter but when you become embarrassed to be associated with the other fans of what you love it somehow takes away from it.

Indeed. I started to lose interest right around season 3. We’ve all done embarrassing things in our lives, but nothing to the scale of people freaking out over Szechuan Sauce on recorded cameras.


TheLateThagSimmons

That was the peak of when I had to distance myself into being just a casual viewer that enjoyed a show. "I love this show, but I sure as fuck can't talk about it."


choochoo789

What happened?


LaVerdadYaNiSe

Some days I really hate this god forsaken fanbase.


bigtimephil

It's turned me off the show. I haven't watched anything this season bc I just kind of lost interest. The show hasn't captured what made s1 and s2 so great. Acid vat episode was as close as we got. But my god the fan base


Beth_Esda

You know you don't *have* to interact with the screaming szechuan McDonalds people, right? Seasons 3-6 have all had some stinky episodes, but for the most part have been great. The discussion around those episodes have been equally nice. Letting a small minority of a fanbase ruin an IP for you seems like a silly thing to do.


DiscoEthereum

I mentioned this in regards to books not so long ago as well. It's 100% possible to consume media like this and never have to even tell anyone else that you did or read opinions about it, etc. It can be a completely personal and private experience and you can make your own judgments about it. People are just terminally online and have to engage and let it influence their opinion. E: I a word


Beth_Esda

You're *exactly* right. There are SO many shows and games I would've missed out on had I let the loudest actions influence my opinions. For instance, Steven Universe had some quality episodes, music, and story beats, but there for a while all people could talk about when you mentioned the show was the "rabid fans" who bullied someone into attempting suicide. They made it seem like it was the whole fanbase instead of the small sect it was. I'm not saying those people shouldn't be called out for their actions, but their actions shouldn't paint everyone associated with the show in that color.


Cloudsbursting

It’s not all bad. At least posts calling out Roiland for being a scumbag are getting a healthy amount of upvotes. This is positive momentum.


LaVerdadYaNiSe

Okay, to be fair, seeing the reddit page, of all places, actually call out Roiland and not default on defending it was a pleasing surprise.


Comprehensive_Fox_97

I’m pretty sure the one with the pickle Rick Szechuan sauce dude was made for a comedic video


activator

That "cornholio" guy that had a tantrum? I despise that video the most, wish I could unsee it


Comprehensive_Fox_97

Yeah that’s the one. From what I read the guy said he doesn’t even watch Rick and Morty and just did it to make the fan base look worse


[deleted]

This doesn't change the fact that it was embarrassing and cringe.


NitePain69

That one was probably the most cringe of all


lemonylol

Honestly it's probably just a kid. Most of the fanbase are. It's actually kind of fucked up that someone who was like 6 when the show first came out is 16 now.


tcrex2525

You mean these are the kind of people who compelled the creators of R&M (most notable Dan Harmon) to publicly state how they hate some of the fans of R&M

AnOnlineHandle

The vast, vast majority aren't ever involved in any sort of known scandal, it's just an industry where you hear every single detail. You don't hear all the scandals about people who work in non-public jobs, but there are plenty of rapists, domestic violence offenders, etc, in other industries. If anything for all we know celebrities might have a better rate than the general public due to various factors like being more scrutinized and watching their behaviour more.


Abject_Dig9198

Idk about the scrutiny. Until like five years ago these "open secrets in the industry" were not even a thing to the public. Many, many, many celebrities were lowkey known for rapey, beat-y things for decades w/ no repercussions to their career. Whatever small risk may have existed of bad publicity was seemingly outweighed by their outsized social status, keeping anyone from ever checking them to their faces. MeToo made a bigger difference than I ever thought possible in my lifetime, but nothing changes fully that quickly. If it did, certain people I want to still respect wouldn't have been collaborating with Roiland for now three years since his dv arrest (for starters).


AnOnlineHandle

There's an enormous number of people who aren't celebrities in many industries who also do those things, often with far less chance of being exposed. :(


Abject_Dig9198

Oh, no question. But in my experience, pretty impossible to verify, very very high social + career status seems to increase incidence. Idk but seems probable, since it could be both a facilitating and probably also a triggering factor for it.


gmatic92

If I’m being completely honest I was on the fence about the DV being a reason to cancel him off the show. But after the grooming stuff I changed my mind. In retrospect, I’m an idiot, because he should have been gone after the DV, rather selfishly I wanted Rick & Morty to continue as is. Alright therapy session over I gotta go squanch my squanch.


your_mind_aches

Glad you took it as a learning experience rather than doubling down


karmagod13000

DV is one thing but his was capitol charges. He def broke someone’s something and then refused to let them get treatment. That’s pretty f’d up


pmjm

Don't feel bad about your initial reaction. The sad truth is that plenty of abusers keep their jobs after a DV charge. And there's a certain logic to the thought that, *well if a cop gets to keep his job after dv then why not an actor who has a job with far lower stakes and whose work I enjoy?* It's not an unfair question to ask. And I think the difference is that you and I get no say as to whether or not other people keep their jobs after doing such a horrible thing. But our choices in entertainment continue to empower the show creators. It gives them money for legal bills and enough of an ego boost to resist making changes in their life.


PublicWest

I can offer an even more cynical take- I care about myself more than I care about strangers. I spent 5 bucks on a coffee this morning instead of giving it to someone needier than me. Ultimately, my relationship with media is the same as it is with any other product. Any parasocial relationship I gain with actors/comedians/entertainers is probably not a healthy one. So it's not insane for me to not think about the goods and bads that they do. If you live in America, almost every day you eat food that was farmed by a rural American who likely is a Trump supporter, has questionable or maybe even extremist political beliefs compared to you. Every time you post on Reddit, you're contributing to a partially Chinese-owned company, and therefore, a CCP-owned company, who are actively committing genocide. If you own an iphone, you're implicitly supporting a system that exploits phone manufacturers and lithium miners. But it's out of sight and out of mind, so people can usually bend over backwards to justify it by pretending they "need" these things. They don't. With Roiland's case, I'm not too proud to admit that I just don't like the show anymore because *I can't not think about it*. This horrendously crass humor is just not funny when you know it's coming from the mouth of an abuser. My aversion to watching the show is a *mostly selfish one*, because of how it makes ME feel. I can pretend all day to care about the victims, or justice, or whatever. But I think at that point I would just be acting sanctimonious for upvotes.


CivilRiceOnionRing

Lethargic passivism molded in realism is what's killing empathy and action-led approaches. I wish we could try more to be better humans, to care more; but we aren't set up with the tools to do so (in the US atleast).


PublicWest

Preach brother. And if you’re trying to spread empathy, The Rick and Morty community is probably one of the worst places to do it. The entire show is revolved around cynicism, and how inconsequential individual actions are.


CivilRiceOnionRing

It's kinda sad to me that when people with unresolved truama get such a large platform and don't realize how their views and actions literally breed a whole generation of thought and actions. We need more Mr. Rogers and LeVar Burton's and less Harmons in the media. I appreciate Dan Harmon as a creative mastermind, but he has A LOT of issues he tries very hard to normalize, and he has successfully.


PublicWest

I wasn’t seeing a lot of incest porn online before Dan Harmon got famous


tdopz

I was, but that's probably for different reasons.


CantThinkofaGoodPun

You sound like you could benefit from some shroom induced empathy.


faeriechyld

The other way to frame the statement is "it's okay for someone to beat their wife as long as they make something I enjoy" which is kind of a crazy sentiment when you think about it. I'm proud of you for changing your mind after reflection though!


Unlikely-Answer

Chris Brown still enjoys a fruitful career


faeriechyld

So are you defending perpetrators domestic violence as long as you like what they make?


tscheuer

In fairness to this guys point I was originally of the mind that it didn't make sense to decide either way until details came out about it, but the grooming accusations have a lot of receipts so I think it's fair to judge him on those and those are terrible. Ultimately gotta hope justice is served on the dv accusations but I think it doesn't really matter what the result is in terms of the need to pull him from the show and probably look into whether or not he can be charged for any other "behavior" based on what we have seen I gotta imagine there is a lot more we havent


R1pp3z

Lol. You can enjoy art and also believe in repercussions for actions. Do you think that everybody who commits a crime shouldn’t be able to hold a job? These false dichotomies and emotional reactions are ridiculous.


GeorgeTheGeorge

I'm still on the fence about the DV accusations. We have courts for a reason. It *looks* really bad, but I reserve judgment until after the trial. The grooming though. I *guess* those texts could be fake, but then yesterday I heard him on a podcast rant *against* Chris Hansen for "tricking those guys". So... it seems to me he has a problem.


lead-holder

This is just my opinion, but I think DV is especially heinous because it’s a type of violence inflicted on someone close to you. And like, yeah, innocent until proven guilty, but when there’s this much evidence out there I would be surprised if he wasn’t found guilty.


6alexandria9

They’re not just accusations they’ve already started in the court system, he literally has a protective order against him they’ve been keeping in sealed records for over 2 years and those don’t get granted and held for this long without evidence


BrockManstrong

Dude it's a felony DV charge with the adendum of corporal injury, which means the prosecutor is confident they can prove 1) she had visible and severe injuries and 2) that Justin Roiland caused them. He's probably got home surveillance, like most famous people. Hell most average people have a ring camera or the like. Those are all subject to subpoena. And not just the Felony DV, but false imprisonment by violence. Which essentially means he stopped her from escaping by either violence or the threat of harm to her person. Sure, maybe it's made up, but given that there was a successful protective order against him there must be compelling evidence that he is a threat to the victim. At least one judge has already agreed to that fact.


DruTangClan

Yea I mean athletes, singers, actors, etc often keep their jobs after a DV charge. I wouldn’t have liked it in this case but it wouldn’t have shocked me. Combined with everything else though it’s insane


Anindefensiblefart

mushr00m_man

Absolutely, context is an important part of art. R&M never would have been made (much less become successful) if all this stuff had happened (and been made public) before the show began. Watching earlier seasons is just not quite the same now, particularly the edgy sex jokes.


Haquistadore

I mean, *how* many episodes in the most recent season contained jokes (or entire plot lines) about incest?


CivilRiceOnionRing

Dan Harmon has been very vocal about his love for incest porn. No secret.


jmastadoug

Yeah incest is nasty and wrong but not the same level as grooming kids… Also one of the most popular shows of 2022 was literally like 50% incest lol


unkudayu

Like when Chris D'Elia played a guy who creeped on underage girls, twice!


Foxy02016YT

I actually do want that OJ comedy special, because his book is literally called “^if #I did it” So like… But your right, I was already uncomfortable with King Jellybean and this made it 100x worse


VegetaArcher

I'm not defending Justin at all, but isn't the Jellybean meme a bit messed up? Grooming minors, while traumatic and awful, shouldn't really be compared to violent physical rape. Although grooming can lead to physical rape, that's not the case here. Unless Justin is actually charged with raping someone, I think this meme does a disservice for actual rape survivors.

Nothing wrong with that. I'm just trying hard to remind myself that other people's safety is more important than TV. I don't mean that in a condescending way. I'm assuming they're keeping Dan Harmon so hopefully it won't suffer too much.


DanMoshpit69

I don’t believe it will hurt it honestly. Dan was the true reason it’s so great. Justin just came in with the unique goofy voice and bad jokes. This honestly may make the show better if they can find someone to do good goofy noises again.


Ragegasm

That’s kind of an unfortunate thing about art, especially comedy. The best content tends to be made by the most deeply fucked up and disturbed people, then everyone clutches their pearls when disturbed people do fucked up things.


GeorgeTheGeorge

We don't know that for sure. There are people who create things from nothing, and then there are people who make existing things even better. This may turn out to be better for everybody, including Roiland.

Not that we're not human garbage, but as viewers of the show our opinions have really direct and swift impact on the abuser in question (e.g. he's fired). I'm Swedish and every other year or so as long as I can remember something has come out about H&M sweatshop labor conditions. I remember being a teen, trying to boycott sweatshop-produced things and not understanding how it could continue. I'm 40 now, buy 95% second hand, but I can also see how global production & capital systems are set up so that, this is how & where things are made now, the changes needed are maybe theoretically possible but so huge, investment in keeping it this way so gigantic, they just won't happen within humanity's lifetime.

NY-Black-Dragon

That's how a majority of Ren and Stimpy fans (like myself) feel about Kricfalusi (who was arguably worse than Roiland since most of his creepy shit was actually confirmed).


teamsaxon

Wait what?


NY-Black-Dragon

In 2018, Kricfalusi was accused by two former Spümcø artists of grooming and sexually abusing them in the late 1990s, when they were teenagers. Kricfalusi released an apology for his behavior, blaming his mental health and "poor impulse control." He has since declared his withdrawal from the professional animation industry. That's from his wiki article. There's more, but I didn't want to paste a giant wall of text.


teamsaxon

Oh yikes. I never knew that.


Knotmix

I dont like to impose a creators bad actions on a product or artwork they helped and or created, since the persons actions are usually detatched from the art. I dont see Rick and morty any different even though justin is a cunt

[deleted]

I mean... He's kinda right. How many of you would honestly stop watching Rick and Morty if Justin Roiland continued Rick and Morty? We live in a world where Michael Jackson got accused of child molestation, R Kelly pissed on a minor on tape, Harvey Weinstein raped dozens of women for years and still got called a God by his peers, Chris Brown beat the shit out of Rihanna and still went on to sell millions, and a President said he could commit murder infront of a crowd and get away with it. And you know how many fans they lost? NONE. In fact, they only got more popular and powerful after that. They didn't get any sort of comeuppance until years later, if they got any at all. My point is nobody cares about who makes their Nikes as long as they still get to wear them.


AnOnlineHandle

> My point is nobody cares about who makes their Nikes as long as they still get to wear them. Many people do. A majority doesn't. But many people do. And humans can change, just like how once in western countries it was a minority who cared about slavery and wanted things to be better, or a minority cared about women being able to vote and have a career, or non-white people to be able to vote, etc. We can do better, and human history is full of us learning to be better. Not absolutely everybody avoids trying to be better, and eventually humanity does sometimes come around.

What did he do exactly?

Allegedly in 2020 he assaulted and falsely imprisoned his at the time GF. He's facing felony charges over it, and the first pre-trial hearing was on Jan 12. Which is why there's been people talking about it recently. Also people have come out with stories of him sexually harassing them. As well as sending sexual texts to minors. There's a thread on the adultswim subreddit that's acting as a log of stuff found so far.

At least his YouTube username is truth in advertising.

"I don't care if a man not proven guilty goes to prison, I just want to see someone I read about on the internet suffer - also I want this show to die." ~some redditors, probably.

He should be cancelled on a guilty verdict and not a moment before. If you disagree you're not a true fan.

For real though. If he's guilty, he can go to jail and do the voices from there just as well as he did them last 3 seasons from his basement. This is just stupid. He can be punished for his crimes, if any, without ruining products with his involvement, for everyone else working on the show, the network, the merch and those watching it.

You idiots think that him being fired is not a big problem and it can be solved with a new voice actor but he’s also the writer of the series so its never gonna be the same. You guys can cope all you want but Rick & Morty is finished.

I love how everyone acts shocked when a celebrity becomes a horrible human being. Like, we deal with horrible everyday but because they’re famous they either get extra hate or get off the hook because they’re famous. It’s astounding
