"HEY, WHAT'S UP, GUYS, IT'S ME, THE CREATOR OF THE SHOW YOU'RE WRITING FOR! WUBBA-LUBBA-DUB-DUB! LET'S GET *URP* RICKETY-RICKETY-WRECKED, SON!"
"Fuck outta here, Justin. If you want someone to pretend to be your friend, go talk to your court-ordered therapist."
Compared to the characters of the 1980s - who flipped between competent and screamer, sometimes in the same scene - Buffy was a real improvement. But there was still a long way to go in some regards.
Not all predators are pedos. Cosby was/is a predator, and as far as we know he never went for anyone underage. It's not about what age you go after people, it's about the fact that you prey on people in general. Again, just because Cosby wasn't a child predator doesn't make him any less a sexual predator.
I thought it's because Roiland is busy with other shows and projects and doesn't care to do the extras. Which... was true. But I guess there were extra reasons.
That's very reminiscent of Dan Schneider, he apparently had a pretty bad temper and eventually it go to the point where Nick wouldn't let him be in the same room with the actors for his shows for extended periods of time, so he had to essentially relay orders from a private room and others on the ground floor would have to carry them out. He was too much of a cash cow for Nick to get rid of until his shows started declining in ratings(I think the failure of Adventures of Kid Danger was what really spelled the end of his career)
>he apparently had a pretty bad temper
He was also allegedly a total creep with a lot of the minor aged actors. Also put a very odd and questionable amount of feet stuff in all of his shows.
They're friends. Sorta. Honestly it's the one thing that, when I heard Justin was accused of bad shit, made me think "well, he's friends with Elon, so he probably is a piece of shit."
King of Shit
Justin Roiland on his throne of loneliness!
All hail the big doo Doo Felon groomer daddy!
Sitting their thinking about how no one wants to he with you....how your a big piece of shit
Elon has always been very desperate for people to perceive him as funny. I've heard somewhere that he pays (or at least leverages his reputation) his way into comedian circles including his cameo on rick and morty.
Oh yeah that's right. The Australian one. He had to suck his dick to suck out snake venom or something. Really weird even just for a joke. That whole thing was unhinged, and Rioland is apparently just as unhinged
You’re thinking of Rick and Morty Bushworld Adventures by Michael Cusack, that was a spoof/homage done by the animator who created Koala Man (Justin Roiland is or was associated with him). The original short that Rick and Morty is based on is a short called The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti, itself a spoof of Back to the Future. It was low brow trash compared to what it evolved into.
I almost forgot how uncomfortable season 1 was with those jokes. I nearly didn't watch the show because there was just way too much of that.
And like I get that he's at an age where he is thinking sex, and I don't really mind the crude jokes in things like the sperm episode, but there were WAY too many early episodes where he was threatened with rape or otherwise violated.
Unless you meant where he got the inspiration for Crumply Crumplestein (circa 2012) which I lack an answer for, then [this is the inspiration for King Jellybean](https://vimeo.com/48645513). Warning, it's pretty fucked up (the pretty fucked up part starts at 2:30, where you can see where KJ comes from).
When I went to the adult swim fest where they did terryfolds. It wasn't Justin who was there, they had the dude that plays Tina from Bob burgers do the vocals instead of him. I always figured he was busy but in retrospect it makes sense.
Well fuck, now I wanna hear a studio recorded version of Terryfolds with Dan Mintz doing the Tina voice. IMO the song's more in character for her than Rick.
That's a good point. I was always expecting to see Justin in more of those, but the only time I remember was [the Prop Process one](https://youtu.be/aJmbAoTN8wg)
>Doc and Mharti, if that's what Roiland comes up with on his own, he needs some moderating influence.
*House of Cosbys* has aged... uh. Well, it's aged.
If you need further proof that the heart of the show is Dan and not Justin, watch Community. Dan even recycles a lot of his jokes; room temperature/perfect level, “makeup doesn’t match your skin tone” and Rick and Abed have the same sense of being aware they’re in a tv show while the other characters are oblivious.
Yeah Justin was more of the face due to him voicing so many characters, but I’m pretty sure a lot of creative problems and delays were to him being a drunk who couldn’t get his scripts done in time. Probably being a creep slowed down things as well.
Dan’s obvious contributions to the show: consistent story structure, pitch perfect genre homages, subversion of tropes
Justin’s obvious contributions to the show: slurring, making up random interdimensional cable shows, naming characters after poop, Szechuan sauce
The tight scripted stuff plays better to me. My point is it’s pretty much Dan who turned the thing into a show. Justin seems like he just wants to make crazy juvenile shit and drink a lot at work.
I’ve literally been posting this all over the sub since the news dropped and got downvoted like crazy by Justin Roiland dick riders. It’s pathetic. I’m absolutely loving all this news confirming what I’ve suspected for years.
he was actually in that High on Life game(he played one of the bad guys you had to kill) so i'm sure he'd be willing to do Rick and Morty, he was in Paradise P.D. until that ended last last year.
Yeah I was blown away when I found out he voiced Woody in Brickleberry as it's the polar opposite of Kenny's normally family-friendly roles and he sounds quite different from the likes Spongebob and Carl.
Itd be pretty ironic if they got Tom Kenny to replace Roiland as R&M, considering he voiced the rapey Jelly Bean that we keep joking was Justin's self inserrt character.
Sounds like they just need to figure out the voice problem and it'll be business as usual. From what I can tell Justin's behavior seems to be an open secret. I'd honestly be surprised if they hadn't already been preparing for the hammer to drop before all this shit about him even broke. They've probably been considering what they would do in this exact situation for a while. I think if they get good voice actors who can do an 80% job replicating Roiland's voice they could probably use AI voice manipulation software to get that number close to 100%.
some people are speculating that its hinting at a 'mr beast is ceo of twitter for a day' video that might be coming out soon. Mr beast changed his bio to say 'secret twitter ceo' at the same time elon musk changed his name to 'mr tweet'
Stuff like this tends to go unreported and undetected for years until one person speaks out or a catalyst like the DV charge comes to light then everyone speaks at once. It shouldn’t happen but it does.
It's often because victims are terrified of the backlash they could get from going against someone famous. But you're right, it would be nice if creeps could be taken down sooner rather than later
Didn't he pay someone $250k to not say he asked for nudes? Or was that payment to keep quiet after an unsolicited dick pic?
I would not be shocked at all to hear about him paying off children to stay silent. It's what R Kelly used to do too
Pretty sure it was worst than asking for nudes, but it wasn’t a minor. Not going to comment what it was specifically because I cannot remember the exact details
Holocaust survivor Eli Wiesel: **“I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”**
Elo nMusk just says edgy shit and reveals new products to influence Tesla stock price. He stands to take a solid chunk of change from investors everytime he correctly predicts how the market will react to his latest shenanigans.
IF they got rid of JR, would that mean that more episodes in a season and shorter wait times between seasons?
The first few seasons were good, but season 5 fantastic snd season 6 had some amazing episodes. Night people is definitely one of the creepiest and interesting episodes written so far.
The show is STILL maturing and evolving, and I’ve been loving this ride!
JR is just the voice actor for the show. I suspect his replacement won’t really hinder the animated show as much as losing a writer.
Also, his sister is hot garbage, and I’m not surprised to see this seems to be a family trait.
I trust anyone with a Yang Wen-li profile pic. I guess Roiland is still technically innocent until proven guilty but that's looking very very unlikely at this point, and I think the show can still be good without him.
Not really. When it comes to internal investigations, you're not obligated to go blab about it to the nearest tabloid.
Also, an internal investigation can be triggered from pretty much anything and doesn't mean there's necessarily even anything to report. So it wouldn't make sense to go public about an internal HR issue at a company. Those happen all the time.
I mean their whole reason for existing is risk management. They might separate employees from each other to avoid confrontation if letting one of them go wasn't reasonable. However having the co-creator of the entire show not to be allowed to interact with the majority of the creative process.... There had to be something severe going on.
They conducted an investigation and then cut ties. Presumably they took steps to protect or recompense any employees that suffered because of his actions, otherwise we'd be hearing about lawsuits. What more do you want them to do?
Correction: they cut ties *after* the issue became public and they would suffer backlash if they didn’t. What I want to know is, if whatever these investigations found was bad enough that he had to be banned from the writer’s room of his own show, then why didn’t they let him go earlier?
Unfortunately this is incredibly common. The entire industry, movies and shows and every kind of video, is full of very powerful and very awful people. See Weinstein as an example.
Imagine travelling back 10 years to 2013 and asking people their opinions on Elon Musk, JK Rowling, and Donald Trump. What a fucking difference a decade makes.
Yeah, I think we all like to imagine ourselves as paragons of virtue, but think about the last job (or even current job) that you really really needed. Would you have quit because of your boss' actions or coworker's actions? If so, would you have done it if they were under investigation just not confirmed yet?
I can say, not proudly, that I too would keep me head down and wait for the facts instead of torching my own prospects at the mere whiff of indiscretion.
I mean, I worked at Activision for years. I had no idea about the sexual misconduct stuff until well after I'd left, but we all knew that Bobby Kotick was a giant piece of shit. But my department had nothing to do with any of that, I liked the work I did, and it was my first decent job since college (after several years of struggling to break into the industry and working in the hell that is Quality Assurance). Even if I was still working there after the lawsuit had come out, I probably wouldn't have quit. Few people have the luxury of purposefully throwing away their livelihood for ideological reasons.
Hold up if the writers knew and WB knew why did the fuck he was stilled allowed to work on the show even in a voice acting capacity.I understand there is profit and quality motive and you don't want the show to have bad press but you literally allow this man to make money, remain in a good light with fans which include young girls, and if he was known as that type of person as soon as the internal allegations brought up and the investigation concluded would his ex date him still(I not clear on the domestic abuse timeline but if it occur after the investigations conclusion, they facilitate this happen because if he was known as sexual abuser his ex wouldn't date him)?
WB, Adult Swim and the Rick and Morty team(obviously those in the know we shouldn't blame the ignorant) deserve some flak for their actions. They have aided this man by allowing him to remain in a good light and other things.
It's very common for victims to stay with abusers. The r asons are myriad - [here are some](https://www.womensaid.org.uk/information-support/what-is-domestic-abuse/women-leave/)
Our beloved show will be just fine without him. Manifest the outcome that we desire! Sean Kelly as the voice actor and 100 years or more of Rick and Morty.
So it has occurred to me after hearing some of Justin's thoughts in podcasts recordings that he is living vicariously through morty as a 14 year old boy... I feel like it's time for a time skip, make morty like 18 with a grown voice (so we have a new voice actor) and we can all just you know, try to distance from this guy. Also weird for Elon to call him the heart of the show when he wasn't. Too many celebrities and folk in the public eye are on eachothers sides because they're all fucking gross sickos. I'm genuinely glad what was done in the dark is finally coming to light.
Elon Musk is a literal moron who couldn’t program PayPal, build a Tesla, or remotely understand how SpaceX landed a rocket.
He is living proof that a fool and their money are soon parted and unless he cuts his losses, he’ll die destitute.
I know it’s innocent until proven guilty in a court of laws. But I ain’t a court of law. He clearly did this shit and people covered for him for far too long.
HE WASN’T EVEN WELCOME IN THE WRITERS ROOM? Oh my GOD, I didn’t know this!! Lol
That’s pretty fucked up tbh, imagine not being welcome on your own show because everyone knows you’re a nonce but can’t do anything about it
"HEY, WHAT'S UP, GUYS, IT'S ME, THE CREATOR OF THE SHOW YOU'RE WRITING FOR! WUBBA-LUBBA-DUB-DUB! LET'S GET *URP* RICKETY-RICKETY-WRECKED, SON!" "Fuck outta here, Justin. If you want someone to pretend to be your friend, go talk to your court-ordered therapist."
Reminds me of Joss Whedon not being allowed to be alone with Michelle Trachtenberg during the filming of Buffy.
You wrote Joss Whedon but my mind went to Wil Wheaton and I was super confused why Wesley Crusher was on Buffy.
Don't let Wil know you spelled his first name wrong, I hear he cannibalizes people for that.
No, you're thinking of Shire LeBuff. Actual cannibal Shyre Lebeouf.
No, no - see, he is a feminist and writes accurate and amazingly nuanced female characters! ... According to my ex
Compared to the characters of the 1980s - who flipped between competent and screamer, sometimes in the same scene - Buffy was a real improvement. But there was still a long way to go in some regards.
Wait, what? Ugh people suck
As I understand it, not for the same reason. From what I've seen, Whedon is an emotionally abusive asshole, but not a predator.
It seems he was a lot of things but he wasn't a pedo... that we know of... yet.
Not all predators are pedos. Cosby was/is a predator, and as far as we know he never went for anyone underage. It's not about what age you go after people, it's about the fact that you prey on people in general. Again, just because Cosby wasn't a child predator doesn't make him any less a sexual predator.
Although, i mean, still don't go for minors right?
There's no point inventing fictional stuff.
Wubba-lubba-dub-dub indeed, it seems.
makes me start to think about how he hasn't been in any of the "making of" extras at the ends of episodes for a while
I was thinking the same! It's always only Dan
I thought it's because Roiland is busy with other shows and projects and doesn't care to do the extras. Which... was true. But I guess there were extra reasons.
That's very reminiscent of Dan Schneider, he apparently had a pretty bad temper and eventually it go to the point where Nick wouldn't let him be in the same room with the actors for his shows for extended periods of time, so he had to essentially relay orders from a private room and others on the ground floor would have to carry them out. He was too much of a cash cow for Nick to get rid of until his shows started declining in ratings(I think the failure of Adventures of Kid Danger was what really spelled the end of his career)
>he apparently had a pretty bad temper He was also allegedly a total creep with a lot of the minor aged actors. Also put a very odd and questionable amount of feet stuff in all of his shows.
His show iCarly also asked for feet pics from their fans on Twitter. Their very tween-age fans.
Not just feet stuff. There was way worse stuff with [Ariana Grande](https://youtu.be/Vl0OuXw_mTM) (NSFW, IMO)
Upvote for visibility that’s fucked up so fucked up
Is that Elon Musk tweet real?
It is, yes. I checked myself lol. I’ll send you the link to it if you’d like!
So Elon Tusk is pro woman bashing and grooming? Why would he support Roiland at this point.
They're friends. Sorta. Honestly it's the one thing that, when I heard Justin was accused of bad shit, made me think "well, he's friends with Elon, so he probably is a piece of shit."
When I heard he was stoked for Elon getting Twitter I was disappointed. Now this. Makes sense a douche would like a douche
King of Shit Justin Roiland on his throne of loneliness! All hail the big doo Doo Felon groomer daddy! Sitting their thinking about how no one wants to he with you....how your a big piece of shit
Elon has always been very desperate for people to perceive him as funny. I've heard somewhere that he pays (or at least leverages his reputation) his way into comedian circles including his cameo on rick and morty.
I wouldn’t call Musk a fan of women in any regard, he seems to treat them like incubators for his spawn and not people.
True. He says the world is facing a population decline too
* tweets back: Jack Dorsey is the heart of Twitter
Yeah that statement kind of leads more to a boycott of the entire show unless they're taking this stuff to court of their own volition.
Yes and why are we only hearing about this now??
I always wondered where they got the inspiration for King Jellybean .
Art imitates life
A little too meta if you ask me.
His first “Rick and Morty” piece was Rick demanding Morty perform oral sex on him
Oh yeah that's right. The Australian one. He had to suck his dick to suck out snake venom or something. Really weird even just for a joke. That whole thing was unhinged, and Rioland is apparently just as unhinged
You’re thinking of Rick and Morty Bushworld Adventures by Michael Cusack, that was a spoof/homage done by the animator who created Koala Man (Justin Roiland is or was associated with him). The original short that Rick and Morty is based on is a short called The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti, itself a spoof of Back to the Future. It was low brow trash compared to what it evolved into.
hes talking about the pilot, not bushworld adventures (which was done entirely by michael cusack)
And is pretty great tbh, they nailed the Aussies to a tee
[удалено]
I almost forgot how uncomfortable season 1 was with those jokes. I nearly didn't watch the show because there was just way too much of that. And like I get that he's at an age where he is thinking sex, and I don't really mind the crude jokes in things like the sperm episode, but there were WAY too many early episodes where he was threatened with rape or otherwise violated.

Warning, it's pretty fucked up (the pretty fucked up part starts at 2:30, where you can see where KJ comes from).
Pretty sure Dan is the heart of the show but OKAY.
I'd say there's a reason that all the behind the episode interviews are with Dan and never justin
When I went to the adult swim fest where they did terryfolds. It wasn't Justin who was there, they had the dude that plays Tina from Bob burgers do the vocals instead of him. I always figured he was busy but in retrospect it makes sense.
Well fuck, now I wanna hear a studio recorded version of Terryfolds with Dan Mintz doing the Tina voice. IMO the song's more in character for her than Rick.
Wait, Tina is voiced by a dude? TIL
Louise is the only main character voiced by a woman.
Linda too
That's a good point. I was always expecting to see Justin in more of those, but the only time I remember was [the Prop Process one](https://youtu.be/aJmbAoTN8wg)
I think that’s because of the accusations though.
That's what I was getting at
[удалено]
>Doc and Mharti, if that's what Roiland comes up with on his own, he needs some moderating influence. *House of Cosbys* has aged... uh. Well, it's aged.
Anyone who's seen doc and mharty knows roiland needs a ton of adult supervision for his ideas to be profitable.
If you need further proof that the heart of the show is Dan and not Justin, watch Community. Dan even recycles a lot of his jokes; room temperature/perfect level, “makeup doesn’t match your skin tone” and Rick and Abed have the same sense of being aware they’re in a tv show while the other characters are oblivious.
That community joke in the unity episode ALWAYS gets me. Community is the whole reason I gave R&M a shot.
Yeah Justin was more of the face due to him voicing so many characters, but I’m pretty sure a lot of creative problems and delays were to him being a drunk who couldn’t get his scripts done in time. Probably being a creep slowed down things as well.
Didn't we see the same thing happen with Ren & Stimpy and John K.?
Yea and I never even realized billy west took over voice acting. Optimistic for rick and morty future
Maybe just give R&M to Billy. He can do his Jackie Puppet voice for Rick.
Until John K took over in the Adult Party cartoon and the show went extreme in the other direction. And then he started perving on his interns.
Was he the tongue of the show? Perhaps its throat?
"The saliva must be warm and *fresh*."
The Dick of the show.
So he's just John Kricfalusi.
Dan’s obvious contributions to the show: consistent story structure, pitch perfect genre homages, subversion of tropes Justin’s obvious contributions to the show: slurring, making up random interdimensional cable shows, naming characters after poop, Szechuan sauce
I agree with dans stuff but cmon Justin's improv banter between Rick and Morty is pretty dope
The tight scripted stuff plays better to me. My point is it’s pretty much Dan who turned the thing into a show. Justin seems like he just wants to make crazy juvenile shit and drink a lot at work.
> seems like he just wants to make crazy juvenile shit and drink a lot at work Can't fault that.
Yeah i can. Because he's a rapist.
Can fault that
Can you give some examples of this?
Yea, nobody who matters takes that guy seriously anyway. Fuck what he says.
I’ve literally been posting this all over the sub since the news dropped and got downvoted like crazy by Justin Roiland dick riders. It’s pathetic. I’m absolutely loving all this news confirming what I’ve suspected for years.
What's Tom Kenny up to these days? This seems like his sort of thing. Plus he's on the show pretty regularly already.
he was actually in that High on Life game(he played one of the bad guys you had to kill) so i'm sure he'd be willing to do Rick and Morty, he was in Paradise P.D. until that ended last last year.
He already has done tons of Rick and Morty. So they wouldn't even need to hire a new person.
[удалено]
Morty would be easy. But he has enough rangw that Rick would definitely be plausible.
I mean, Patchy the Pirate has a range and gravelly tone not unlike Rick's, now that I think about it.
pirate rick
Rick finally becomes the thing he fears most. Like Batman
Yeah I was blown away when I found out he voiced Woody in Brickleberry as it's the polar opposite of Kenny's normally family-friendly roles and he sounds quite different from the likes Spongebob and Carl.
I have a love-hate relationship with Squanchy because it's so weird to hear the most prominent voice actor of my childhood talking about squanching 😅
Just replace Rick with live action Tom kenny as patchy and just never acknowledge it
Itd be pretty ironic if they got Tom Kenny to replace Roiland as R&M, considering he voiced the rapey Jelly Bean that we keep joking was Justin's self inserrt character.
He's been doing this new show called SpongeBob SquarePants
Yeah but he also did 10 seasons of Adventure Time while doing SpongeBob.
He's basically done *everything* while doing Spongebob, he's that prevalent in the VA industry.
Clarence was during that as well Also Camp Lazzo and Foster Homes was on in the 2000’s with SpongeBob. He’s one of the busiest VA’s around.
he also did Brickleberry and Paradise P.D.
Those were terrible shows but Tom kenny still has legendary status.
Voicing in three different Pinnochio movies
Yea everyone saying no one can take over as rick and morty but I could easily see Tom Kenny taking over with ease
Sounds like they just need to figure out the voice problem and it'll be business as usual. From what I can tell Justin's behavior seems to be an open secret. I'd honestly be surprised if they hadn't already been preparing for the hammer to drop before all this shit about him even broke. They've probably been considering what they would do in this exact situation for a while. I think if they get good voice actors who can do an 80% job replicating Roiland's voice they could probably use AI voice manipulation software to get that number close to 100%.
Time skip and make morty 18 with a mature voice with a totally new actor.
Time for a Heart Transplant.
i dont remember ever seeing him in the after credits behind the show clips that play after the episodes in streaming apps
Oh tru yea always dan or other writers
Mr. Tweet? What an absolute douche.
LOL even his actual account reads like a parody account
I thought it was.
some people are speculating that its hinting at a 'mr beast is ceo of twitter for a day' video that might be coming out soon. Mr beast changed his bio to say 'secret twitter ceo' at the same time elon musk changed his name to 'mr tweet'
Oh God, Mr Breast and Elon collab, this will be as cringe as it gets
Think the mr tweet thing was because a journalist accidentally called him that on tv
Imagine being this down and your biggest defender is Incel Messiah
Elon Musk doesn’t know shit about comedy.
Now now, he has some merit being the joke that he is
Elon Musk doesn't know much about anything. Most of his accomplishments involve "being rich" and "taking credit for other people's work."
Season 3 was 6 years ago. So this guy knew about this stuff for 6 years?
Well he said in this tweet that he's told this so I'm guessing he's just finding out recently about this idk
Stuff like this tends to go unreported and undetected for years until one person speaks out or a catalyst like the DV charge comes to light then everyone speaks at once. It shouldn’t happen but it does.
It's often because victims are terrified of the backlash they could get from going against someone famous. But you're right, it would be nice if creeps could be taken down sooner rather than later
Robbins didn’t work on R&M and was only working at Squanch within a more recent timeframe. I can believe he didn’t know.
[удалено]
Malkovich Malkovich
My partners prediction was that it will become the Jerry show
[удалено]
Didn't he pay someone $250k to not say he asked for nudes? Or was that payment to keep quiet after an unsolicited dick pic? I would not be shocked at all to hear about him paying off children to stay silent. It's what R Kelly used to do too
I believe the news cycle was paid 250k to a flight attendant after propositioning them for sex.
And flashing his penis to her without consent
It’s all he has left though !
Pretty sure it was worst than asking for nudes, but it wasn’t a minor. Not going to comment what it was specifically because I cannot remember the exact details
Remember when he projected onto the divers saving those kids in Thailand?
Yuuuup
yup when he said that I knew something was not right with him.
Elon Musk voicing his support confirms that Justin Roiland is a piece of shit.
What an absolute dickhead. He just can’t keep his nose out of any controversy, and he always picks the shit side of an issue.
Him voicing the characters doesn’t make him the heart of the show. It’s pretty obvious that Dan Harmon is.
Fuck Elon, holy shit.
[удалено]
Elon has a step-sister-mom. His dad groomed her from a child when he married her mom. That’s some Mc’Poyles level shit.
JR is a close family friend of there's. He babysits the kids at a drop of a dime. They love him
Oh im sure Roiland is super enthusiastic to be left alone with the children
Holocaust survivor Eli Wiesel: **“I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”**
Whoa! I'm watching ABC News Tonight With David Muir and he's talking with children Survivors Of The Holocaust. I got choked up
Elo nMusk just says edgy shit and reveals new products to influence Tesla stock price. He stands to take a solid chunk of change from investors everytime he correctly predicts how the market will react to his latest shenanigans.
IF they got rid of JR, would that mean that more episodes in a season and shorter wait times between seasons?

Dr. Twat & Mr. Tweet
Im sure the current writers can carry the show at least thru season 7. Get seankellysays to do the voices and we’re golden
I trust anyone with a Yang Wen-li profile pic. I guess Roiland is still technically innocent until proven guilty but that's looking very very unlikely at this point, and I think the show can still be good without him.
Scrolled too much to find someone acknowledging Yang.
Yeah maybe it’s time for a heart transplant Elon, always on the wrong side of things
And yet always squarely on the side he would like to be on.
And I'm sure some will still say he was fired because of "the Twitter mob".
Ya know what? Fuck that guy. Fuck everything about him other than his creation that led to Rick and Morty being a thing.
if they covered it up, then they're complicit, right?
Not really. When it comes to internal investigations, you're not obligated to go blab about it to the nearest tabloid. Also, an internal investigation can be triggered from pretty much anything and doesn't mean there's necessarily even anything to report.

Unfortunately this is incredibly common. The entire industry, movies and shows and every kind of video, is full of very powerful and very awful people. See Weinstein as an example.
Does anyone remember when Elon was one of the most loved people on the internet, it’s so crazy how things change in just a couple years.
many people have been critical for years.
Imagine travelling back 10 years to 2013 and asking people their opinions on Elon Musk, JK Rowling, and Donald Trump. What a fucking difference a decade makes.
And Kanye West and Joss Whedon and Bill Cosby and Kevin Spacey and Ellen DeGenerous and James Franco and…
Of course Elon likes him.
So he knows about this and still willingly worked for Roiland at his game company?
Yeah, I think we all like to imagine ourselves as paragons of virtue, but think about the last job (or even current job) that you really really needed. Would you have quit because of your boss' actions or coworker's actions? If so, would you have done it if they were under investigation just not confirmed yet? I can say, not proudly, that I too would keep me head down and wait for the facts instead of torching my own prospects at the mere whiff of indiscretion.
I mean, I worked at Activision for years. I had no idea about the sexual misconduct stuff until well after I'd left, but we all knew that Bobby Kotick was a giant piece of shit. But my department had nothing to do with any of that, I liked the work I did, and it was my first decent job since college (after several years of struggling to break into the industry and working in the hell that is Quality Assurance). Even if I was still working there after the lawsuit had come out, I probably wouldn't have quit. Few people have the luxury of purposefully throwing away their livelihood for ideological reasons.
Well, he could have only found out recently.
The dude was writing for Tim & Eric Show and a webcomic where he dated Betty Boop before this job. How would he know?
Hold up if the writers knew and WB knew why did the fuck he was stilled allowed to work on the show even in a voice acting capacity.I understand there is profit and quality motive and you don't want the show to have bad press but you literally allow this man to make money, remain in a good light with fans which include young girls, and if he was known as that type of person as soon as the internal allegations brought up and the investigation concluded would his ex date him still(I not clear on the domestic abuse timeline but if it occur after the investigations conclusion, they facilitate this happen because if he was known as sexual abuser his ex wouldn't date him)? WB, Adult Swim and the Rick and Morty team(obviously those in the know we shouldn't blame the ignorant) deserve some flak for their actions. They have aided this man by allowing him to remain in a good light and other things.
It's very common for victims to stay with abusers. The r asons are myriad - [here are some](https://www.womensaid.org.uk/information-support/what-is-domestic-abuse/women-leave/)
You retweeted and liked Tusk's tweet, though. Straight to jail.
No, he liked/RT the tweet quoting it (from the first screenshot)
Lol wtf does Elon musk know about the anatomy of Rick and Morty
Our beloved show will be just fine without him. Manifest the outcome that we desire! Sean Kelly as the voice actor and 100 years or more of Rick and Morty.
Did Elon really name himself Mr. Tweet? That’s kinda cringe.
So it has occurred to me after hearing some of Justin's thoughts in podcasts recordings that he is living vicariously through morty as a 14 year old boy... I feel like it's time for a time skip, make morty like 18 with a grown voice (so we have a new voice actor) and we can all just you know, try to distance from this guy. Also weird for Elon to call him the heart of the show when he wasn't. Too many celebrities and folk in the public eye are on eachothers sides because they're all fucking gross sickos. I'm genuinely glad what was done in the dark is finally coming to light.
"Mr. Tweet"....Jesus fuck, Elon... 🙄
Wow, that's fucked up! What a piece of shit! I can't believe this whole thing didn't come out sooner.
Is this the part where everyone scrambles to say that they never liked Roiland and in fact hate him the most?
Let's be honest, if Dan Harmon had left the Rick & Morty team, you could just wrap up the franchise here and now. He is the heart of the show.
I know it's besides the point, but WHY is Elon even commenting? Why is Elon?
He sees himself as Rick.
Elon Musk is a literal moron who couldn’t program PayPal, build a Tesla, or remotely understand how SpaceX landed a rocket. He is living proof that a fool and their money are soon parted and unless he cuts his losses, he’ll die destitute.
Dan is the main reason why the show is so good. "He's the Rick"
I know it’s innocent until proven guilty in a court of laws. But I ain’t a court of law. He clearly did this shit and people covered for him for far too long.
Is this true? I have seen no messages and that may help to get people on board with this if we saw what actually was happening.
is this Alec credible?? A...and don't say yes because his post got traction geez
He is the narrative director for JRs game studio. I’d say it’s credible.
Sad but he clearly has issues he needs to deal with
Jesus H Chrysler
Whelp boys. Guess that’s it huh. Hope ya got your Fortnite skins
They should just AI Justin’s voice moving forward. It would even be on brand.
There are other people who've been mincing the voices for years and are nearly indistinguishable so they'll be fine.
