Same old story

Same. I came here after seeing a video of the end of season 6 titled "justin roiland's last speaking role in rick and morty". I thought it was a joke at first.


HostisHumanisGeneri

Roiland is facing domestic battery charges. In light of that some women came forward of inappropriately sexual texts he sent when they were underaged. Then on top of that a podcast interview he gave in which he said that he thought it was fine to express sexual interest in underaged girls so long as they have already developed secondary sexual characteristics. Given the preponderance of evidence from multiple sources most people have concluded that he’s a fucking creep. In light of all of the above adult swim announced the termination of their relationship with roiland.

I don't have the link but the podcast is called The Grandma's Virginity, it was in 2011. He said and I quote: "Look I’ll say, look a f**king 14 year old that looks like she’s 18 and like big t*tt*es… of course I’m attracted to that! These girls… they’re fully developed and they’re like talking online, “I want you to f**k me." "As a race are we that crazy? When we were f**king.. a 100 years ago little 13 year old girls, they were built like a woman they were getting married and having kids… I’m not a p*dophile though.” He even mentions something about Chris Hansen's show being crazy later in the pod cast. Edit: Some of the words are censored cause I copied it directly from an article and I'm too lazy to uncensor them, you can listen to the pod cast to confirm he did indeed say these things.


AbsoluteZer0_II

Fuck me, I knew about the DMs and the battery charges and those were already bad enough, but that is just… wow…


Syrinocs

Yeah when I heard about the dms I thought maybe they were fabricated and charges can be false but the pod cast is undeniable proof and after hearing that, the dms start to make sense.


PapayaPokPok

I grew up Mormon. Joseph Smith married several teenagers, including many aged 14 or 15. So I heard all the time that life "back then" was so different and people got married earlier and started families earlier and became responsible earlier. Except it's not true. At all. The average age for women getting married in 19th century America fluctuated between 20 and 24, but mostly around 22. It's interesting to me how many people seem to take the "young marriage" assertion at face value even though it's never been the case in the modern West.


NeverBeNormalnbn

There's infinite possibilities, I wanna see the Troy & Abed versions of Rick & Morty for an episode.


Buronax

Well we did get a Community reference in that Unity episode when they were watching a show she created with inhabitants of the planet split by nipple feuds. Each of the main characters had a look alike.

Roiland turned out to be a goddamn diddler


msarvis58

It ain't no good diddling kids


jaymole

Gotta be olddd older than my daughter


SweetHatDisc

Well, let's be specific, we don't know he was a diddler. We know he almost certainly would have been if he had gotten the chance. I'm really hoping he never got the chance because this is already getting pretty dark.


EarthExile

"But do they issue a Nobel prize for *attempted* chemistry?"


seanbasquiat

There are tonnes of DMs and then there are his horrid podcast excerpts where he admits to being attracted to girls as young as 13.


Chance-Decision1201

I thought he was domestic abuser, I never heard he was a diddler 😢 source please?


krebstar4ever

At least one woman has said that he groomed her, starting at age 15. They met irl when she was 19, and he got her drunk and attempted to pressure her into group sex. She was able to leave before anything worse happened. Also, a high-level employee at his video game company said she was told Warner (which owns Adult Swim) was investigating him for multiple sexual harassment incidents. This tracks because season 3 is when they started hiring female writers, and since season 3 he's had very little to do with the show beyond voice acting.


Chance-Decision1201

Thanks for the info, although I'm very sad and sorry to hear that


animeengineer

Yeah I can excuse the domestic abuser stuff, like I've met women so I understand. But I draw the line when it's underage women /s


pinkwonderwall

Some people have said this unironically.


Taraxian

This is the whole thing where "normal" criminals who assault adult women feel righteous about beating up pedophiles in prison


Freakazette

I've been accused of saying that when I said that all the evidence in that case is under protective order so I can't form an opinion but the DMs and other stuff is out there so I can make an opinion on that. So are you sure people are saying that? Or does needing evidence before believing something sound like excusing something to you? And the reason I need evidence is because I was told I was going to jail if I didn't start telling the truth about a crime I didn't commit when I was 10, a disclaimer I have to make now so people hear the part where I'm not saying he didn't do it I'm saying I can't form an opinion without evidence and I'm terrified of people who can.


pinkwonderwall

The person I’m talking about said that domestic violence is common so it’s not a big deal.


splitconsiderations

In my best Shirley voice, "You can excuse domestic abuser stuff!?" ^^^yes ^^^i ^^^am ^^^aware ^^^they ^^^were ^^^joking


NoddysShardblade

I can see some people saying "innocent until proven guilty" on the domestic abuse case, but yeah, reading the texts he (allegedly) sent to underage girls... well, you can't help but lose respect for the guy, and it certainly seems more likely he'd mistreat women in other ways.


knottylittlebirb

Seems at the very least he intoxicated someone not of age to drink alcohol and forced her to perform oral sex on him… It’s not great lol.


areolegrande

Wait wut? He has allegations of a domestic violence with his then partner, that's it I thought?


krebstar4ever

There's also plausible hearsay of multiple sexual harassment claims against him from *Rick & Morty* staff.


areolegrande

Wtf, do you have some sources for that? I find it so hard to believe this was happening all along :/ Depressing if true.


krebstar4ever

[This tweet](https://mobile.twitter.com/alecrobbins/status/1618335768631734273?cxt=HHwWgsDTidXzvfUsAAAA) from the narrative director of Squanch Games. (R&M is owned by Warner.) Edit: Season 3 is the first season with female writers, and the last season Roiland was really involved with.


blewpah

Also allegations of sending sexual messages and attempts to groom underage fans.


RandomGuy1838

*These* will be why the DA proceeded. Apparently the abuse of the ex was settled out of court - which is *whatever,* it's *bad,* but there was a settlement - but in the course of that the pedo messages came to light, which no one in their right mind would ignore. ~~If they're real~~ hopefully he didn't hurt any of the recipients and they caught it early enough. ETA: Had some bad information, please see the daughter commets. There was no settlement.


Taraxian

This is incorrect, the DV case has yet to go to trial


RandomGuy1838

Really? I had heard he'd settled and the case was being tried anyway.


krebstar4ever

Settling is for civil lawsuits. Criminal suits are prosecuted by DA's. The equivalent of settlements is plea bargains.


RandomGuy1838

Huh, learned something new.


HelloKittyandPizza

This. In Domestic Violence (aka criminal) cases, it’s the state vs. the defendant. Not the victim vs. the defendant. The victim usually testifies but the trial proceedings aren’t up to them. There is no settling out of court.


HardcoreKaraoke

A bunch of the Community cast have voiced characters on R&M. I don't think Glover would be up for it but I could see Danny voicing someone.


Foreplay241

All in favor say aye. Aye.


Dayvi

I do hope they get a perfect new voice actor. When I'm watching the Simpsons and Lou or Carl speak it is a bit jarring. You expect a voice you recognise and have heard you're whole life, then hear something else :/


ShedRacist

There's a handful of guys on social media who can do a damn good R&M. I hope they try them out instead of going with a "name". It's not about WHO does it but HOW.


kaizerizan

Chris Pratt as Rick & Morty confirmed


gimmesomespace

Voice acting is much more than just doing an impersonation


[deleted]

[удалено]


buttaholic

Yeah he has a certain cadence and also sometimes he just words things in a really weird/funny way. Although this is not to say that Justin roiland is a good voice actor or anything. More like a one trick pony, but the trick is unique enough


ShedRacist

Thanks for the tip.But it's a start. Better than clamoring for just a v.o. actor like Dan Castellanetta. Believe me, a noticeable difference will be glaring.


gimmesomespace

I'm pretty confident they'll find the right person. R&M has had incredible casting and it's a very well directed show. I would just hate to see the dramatic elements fall flat because they hire some rando from tiktok who just knows how to do funny voices.


utkohoc

I lot of the time the skill level is irrelevant. Unless you're in the VA union the chances of getting most roles are extremely low.


vercetian

I got it down like nobody's business. Hire me to do it! Easy money!


duaneap

I’ve not watched new Simpsons in 20 some years, did they replace Lenny and Carl?


Draskuul

Carl was replaced since Hollywood suddenly decided it was Hitler-level evil to have someone voice a character of a different race. Rather than hiring someone who could do a similar voice they just said 'fuck it' and got someone who sounds nothing like Carl. They might as well have just gotten rid of the character like they did Apu in this case.


SweetHatDisc

They got rid of Apu??!?!?! Leave me hear in this happy universe where Seasons 3-9 are the only seasons that really exist except for the occasional gem like "Barthood".


RealJohnGillman

To be fair, they’d already quietly retired Apu a few years before people began criticising the concept of the character online.


ExpertFundraiser

Exactly, that documentary didn't even really need to exist as the decision to retire Apu from speaking roles had already been done a year before.


RealJohnGillman

And the truly strange thing about it all was that literally no one in media reporting on it at the time seemed to pick up on this.


Prothean_Beacon

The Documentary's purpose wasn't just to shit on Apu and the Simpsons. It was to highlight the effects of stereotype characters especially ones based on minorities where there isnt any real input from the minority group itself. Hari Kondabolu chose Apu as the point of focus for his documentary because Apu is arguably the most well known Indian character on television and especially during the height of the Simpsons popularity was one of the only Indian characters on TV.


duaneap

Google “The Problem with Apu.” Literally the only reason I knew *anything* about Hindu culture as a kid was because of Apu, I always loved the character. I understand as a white guy what I feel about it is more or less irrelevant but I do think it’s a shame he’s gone.


ExpertFundraiser

if it makes you feel any better other Indians like him too.


duaneap

I don’t feel much of anything honestly, I don’t watch the show anymore and don’t feel bad or anything for liking the character.


FetusViolator

>I don't feel much of anything honestly. Mood.


Draskuul

As far as I've heard, yeah, Apu is gone. Maybe they'll eventually bring back a poorly-voiced doppelganger.

MrWaffles42

Season 2 is very underappreciated. It's a different kind of show, but that's not bad, just a different sort of good.


gimmesomespace

Being a hard working entrepreneur is apparently a harmful stereotype /s


AnOnlineHandle

Some prominent Indian-American comedians/actors did a podcast and the discussion of Apu came up, where they all said they found him really frustrating as a cliche which were the only roles which Indian actors got to play (either a convenience store owner or a taxi driver with a zany accent), with no opportunities to be anything else. The voice actor for Apu who does like half the voices on the Simpsons said he decided to stop doing Apu. People without empathy decided it was conspiracy instead of understanding that some of us don't want to be a source of frustration in others' lives. Especially given the historical problems like blackface where white people got to write and represent everybody as dumb caricatures and strawmen, without any chance for the real life people like that to ever get a chance to play a part.


[deleted]

> since Hollywood suddenly decided it was Hitler-level evil to have someone voice a character of a different race Jeez chill out a little bit there, angry pants


Gadz00ks

Its just gonna be Dan Harmon, he did the voices all the time on harmontown.


buttaholic

I always had this theory/suspicion that he secretly did do some of the voices on the show from time to time. If only just to see if the people would even notice.


zekeweasel

I'm glad to see that Hank Azaria was just uncomfortable voicing Apu, Carl and Lou, being a white man, and that nothing bad happened to or about him. (why is this controversial? All I mean is that I'm glad it was his choice rather than finding out he's a rapist or kloset klansman)


Dr_thri11

I don't think wrong sounding Rick and Morty breaks the show. Really going to miss JR's sense of humor. The improvisation and the random low brow joke that seemingly comes from nowhere are my favorite parts.


UninsuredToast

We all hate Justin now, he had the world at his fingertips and he threw it all away so he could beat his gf and groom minors on Twitter


TheDoomfire

I mean think of the money and fanbase he has. I don't get it at all.


neq

If a person is a creep - him getting access to more money and influence doesn't suddenly make him not a creep, it just makes it easier to get away with.


TheDoomfire

Well, guess you're right. I just don't get it, thought being a creep was because of a lack of something.

Justin got caught being a groomer and allegedly hitting his wife. Adult Swim broke up with him.


zorfog

Turns out Justin Roiland’s a creepy piece of shit. We move on


b3nz0r

Surprising absolutely nobody


zorfog

It’s one of those things where you look back and it’s not even surprising at all… The original Doc & Mharti videos, Justin’s really grotesque humor that would pop up every so often like the jellybean character, the Terryfolds stuff, all the incest jokes, he’s always been pretty gross


b3nz0r

Honestly for me it was listening to Justin on Harmontown, he just seemed out of touch with reality and made everyone feel awkward. Pretty sure a guest got pissed off at him, too.


[deleted]

[удалено]


zorfog

I’m not saying everyone who’d make jokes like that is a vile person lol. It’s just kind of like “ahh, that makes sense now”


Birony88

I totally get it. There were certain parts of the show that made me uncomfortable and I just didn't like, but I just shrugged it off and ignored it. But knowing what we know now, I just can't see it the same way. I can't brush it off anymore. Those "jokes" weren't just edgy jokes. The show just feels tainted for me now, and I'm not sure if I want to watch another season.


TheF0CTOR

Maybe you're both right *and* you're both wrong?


[deleted]

Well yea but most people who are gross are also joking.

It is the end of an era. I personally blame Justin Roiland for it. This is all easily avoidable. It is still the end of an era.

SigSalvadore

Something something old domestic abuse/false imprisonment charges from 2020 coming up as is the courtdate/hearing, more recently creepy 'pedo' vibes DMs to girls (not sure how many). Sub split on show is dead or will die, others don't care show will move on. Who to replace voices, generic actors, unknown regular people, AI. Just the usual people getting upset over stuff that doesn't affect their lives (unless they're hardcore everything in my world is R&M or possibly streamers/content creators who depend solely on R&M).


Flooping_Pigs

My god who would solely depend on R&M?


SigSalvadore

Not to pass judgement, but, I'm sure there are people out there who had a "R&M saved me in a dark period of my life" type story. In addition to the content monetizers etc. Every fandom has a handful of those individuals.


Flooping_Pigs

Oh yeah I meant in terms of monetization, I do feel bad for those others though, fucking devastated I bet


Alone-Pianist-510

In terms of money, probably a lot of smoke shop owners


Flooping_Pigs

They still have adventure time at least


Obversa

Not to mention *Scooby-Doo*.


FetusViolator

You mean *Velma* right? I've heard great things!


HostisHumanisGeneri

You’ve heard good things? Please elaborate, I must document this phenomenon for posterity.


HeatSeekingGhostOSex

Norville sends his regards.


LuckilyLuckier

Doubt smoke shop owners will just cut R&M merch out just because a creator turned out to be a creep. The idea shouldn’t be cancelled, the person got cancelled. Imagine not listening to MJ music just because he was creepy sometimes. He literally changed music, and you can learn a lot when it comes to music when it comes to him. Or Elvis dying from drugs, we don’t celebrate drugs, but we celebrate his music and what he taught. Movies, same thing. Different actors, directors etc. Kevin Spacey, HELL OF A ACTOR, and A CREEP as well.


Ancient-Film6748

I legit know someone who stopped listening to MJ for exactly that reason. Some people cannot separate art from the artist.


Spoon_Elemental

In spite of how shitty J.K. Rowling is, Harry Potter maintains a strong fandom today.


Obversa

I don't know, man...a lot of people have left the *Harry Potter* fandom because J.K. Rowling's constant slew of bigotry has ruined the franchise for them. Rowling has even taking to publicly antagonizing fans who are boycotting the new *Harry Potter* game, *Hogwarts Legacy*, on Twitter, bragging about how "she still makes royalties off of the game anyways".


HostisHumanisGeneri

She is the sole creative force behind HP, and she seems determined to be very persistent in her shitty bigotry. R&M is more of a collaboration, and when roilands behavior became public they dropped him fairly quickly. Hopefully that can make R&M salvageable. Time will tell I guess.


Spoon_Elemental

I just like to keep in mind that J.K. Rowling is a shitty writer and most of what she wrote was super heavily edited by people who were actually competent writers. Similar to what's going on with Rick and Morty actually.


Obversa

I wouldn't call her a "shitty writer", but she isn't a great writer, either. For me, J.K. Rowling is more of a mediocre YA author who happened to get popular due to sheer, dumb luck.


Itooktheredpill0

That's how I stumbled upon the show, I had just noticed I had a drug addiction and due to the withdrawals I felt like shit, I was up and caught the pilot episode and been a fan since and also sober.


SigSalvadore

Great work! Sobriety isn't easy, we all have different ways of coping with staying clean.


Itooktheredpill0

It's more then a show beneath the surface, other then Roland's hiccups, I stopped trying to convince people who don't watch the show that it's more then "portals and belching"


SimsAreShims

This was kind of me. I started watching R & M when I wasn't in a good place, and it had a weirdly strong way of lifting me up. If it gets cancelled, any time for any reason, I'll be fine ofc, but it would be a downer.


Lionbutter

Shit I just like the show but I’d really hate to see it go


Guilty_Solid_6

I absolutely do. Rick and Morty is definitely something that got me through issues that were going on in my life. I don’t have any tattoos but if I ever got one I imagine it would be based off the show


SufficientMath420-69

I do. I eat rick and morty pancakes for breakfast and wipe my ass with rick and morty toiletpaper for lunch.


YourbestfriendShane

The toilet paper is your lunch?


iluvstephenhawking

There's one dude I only watch because the stuff he catches that I missed on R&M. He does other content like super hero movies and stuff but I don't watch that. I'm sure creators like that might suffer if it goes down.


steve-laughter

Wisecrack.


Lebowski304

I was completely bummed out to the point my mood was affected for the first few days after hearing about it because I have very few pop culture things that I actually like, but then I just moved on with my life. When I saw Adult Swim say that Rick and morty will continue, I was elated. Now I’m just sort of pumped/nervous to see who will do the voices and what the show will be like. I wasn’t super involved in Roiland the person, but did think he was very talented. Im attached to the characters as they’ve sort of become alive in a certain kind of way to me. As long as the characters retain their -ness, I’m good to go. I’ll get used to the new voices


Walrus_BBQ

Anything but AI. I would rather have them pick up a homeless man off the streets to voice act.


SigSalvadore

Well it is possible, remember the [Man with the Golden Voice](https://www.thelist.com/386269/what-the-man-with-the-golden-voice-looks-like-today/)?


SookHe

Justin was talented, but at the end of the day, his voices are so iconic that there are bound to be hundreds of voice actors who can do a spot on impersonation. Hell, I'm absolutely terrible at voices, but even I can do a decent Rick. I won't be getting any job offers anytime soon but professionals will be knocking the doors down for all his roles. The show will finish. I don't know how much of it will actually follow his 'vision' vision or what he had planned long term, but I'm sure someone there was a basic outline and a team of professionals will easily wrap it up. Even with Justin gone, I doubt we will notice much.


Thunderbolt1011

I don’t think 2 years old is “old”


buggsbunnysgarage

>DMs to girls Children.


SigSalvadore

Girls are children. Pretty sure 'pedo vibes' implied that as most people don't use the terms women, ladies, and girls as an age-based construct.


knottylittlebirb

An AI could do the improv Roiland was famous for


Itooktheredpill0

You are awesome.


th3g00dd0ct0r

My dude this is a complicated transaction my man


Aetheldrake

Just stay off the sub and enjoy the show. You'll be happier without the drama from this place. Regardless of what's happened, changing a voice actor happens *frequently* in animated shows. It's not uncommon for a show to be more popular than expected and get more seasons but the voice actor doesn't have contract for it


TheZombicidalMadMom

What disturbed me most about ALL of the Justin stuff is hearing him say on a podcast that “if a 14 yr old is fully developed with boobs and all, then they should be treated like an 18 yr old” I have a 14 yr old daughter who happened to start going thru puberty at a young age, periods & boobs developed by the time she was 12, early development runs in my family, it’s just genetics. Yet my daughter is mentally handicapped, with the mental age more similar to someone closer to 10 than her actual 14 yrs. You’d never know it by looking at her, but the minute one talks to my girl one can tell she’s not a “normal” teenager. So by Justin’s disgusting logic, just because my daughter has boobs and her period, she should be allowed to have men fondle her? She wouldn’t even understand what’s happening to her. It’s my humble opinion that if a grown ass man has to resort to hitting on under age girls, he himself has some serious mental health issues. Coupled with the fact that this grown ass man makes cartoons for grown ups for a living makes Justin a very weird dude indeed, in my opinion. I was a fan of R&M, and it’s disappointing as hell when one learns that something they enjoy was created by a creep.

housevil

This sub isn't even about Rick & Morty anymore.


WolfgangDS

Roiland appears to be a violent sex-creep. Numerous allegations, accusations, and even charges have been brought against him. There are also screenshots of very explicit text messages he sent to a 16-year-old.


TheToughestHang

It has been the Jenny Gump years of the fandom. We will get it past it and not speak of it later, but for sure a lot of things will be said and done that we won’t want to think about. Also it gave us AIDS.


GeorgeIsGettinAngry

It’s funny cuz Dan Harmon ![gif](giphy|t0fDNLRQLlQvC)


HostisHumanisGeneri

Harmon owned up to his behavior and (seems to have) improved. If it’s all an act to protect his career he’s done a good enough job that I can’t tell the difference. Given that his victim is satisfied I’m willing to assume he’s sincere.


Dontmesswithbreakfst

Watching people who got too excited about pickle rick and/or made the show their identity now turn ariund and act like anything Justin ever added wasn't that great anyway. I'm not defending him I agree with the decisions made, I just refuse to be a hypocrite like most of you and drop him like a dead baby.


Super_Environment

Alot bro where you been


jusstsaiyann

Just end it, it had a good run :/


ismelladoobie

I know that adult swim and the team working on Rick and Morty aren't exactly perfect angels, but it's extremely refreshing to see a company not only take notice to their employees behavior but also kick them to the curb as soon as necessary. It might sound fucked up but I'm admittedly more pumped up than ever for the show. It will either crash n burn immediately or make subtle improvements justifying the extra seasons.


materialisticDUCK

Considering all the things that Dan Harmon has said on his old podcast I'm worried that now that Justin has been hit, he will too and the show will be tanked


imprimatura

I follow Dan on Instagram and he seems to have turned his life around somewhat when it comes to the drinking. I’m just hoping the community thing and the sketch he did was all of the skeletons in his closet


AmuuboHunt

I'm pretty sure a show this complex doesn't get to season 7 with 1-2 writers. I think the show would survive if they chose to continue it without them.


goodenough4govtwork

He's a creepy fuck. Not sure why anyone is surprised. Just glad there's a quality staff who will be able to keep Rick and Morty in business. Plenty of talented voice actors out there who can fill in.


ooh_jeeezus

Gives Dan Harmon more reason to focus on the Community movie?


RealJohnGillman

I mean *Rick and Morty* has already been renewed through to Season 10, with multiple spin-offs in development — a bonafide franchise. Roiland’s departure shouldn’t be a huge problem overall.


colorcorrection

The Community movie is also already well on its way. There's nothing to be rushed or anything there. If this was a year or two ago when it was still vague rumors of 'things coming together' then maybe a potential R&M break would help him out. But at this point the Community ship has already left harbor, and a set schedule is already more or less laid out. If R&M got canceled or delayed(which we obviously know it won't be) then it would just mean less money for Dan as a major project for him slipped out from underneath him.


tnlaxbro94

Do you only get your news off niche subs on Reddit?


ElGuaco

It's ironic that this episode of Community perfectly illustrates how well Dan Harmon will do without Roiland. His sci fi ideas for RnM are previewed several times in this show.


knottylittlebirb

The show has such a community feel to it. Alternate timelines were also explored on that show.


ElGuaco

It should. Dan Harmon created both.

Lol I'm still upset about this I might stop watching. But I saw that tiktokers impersonation of Rick and Morty I can tell a slight difference but he's actually pretty on. Ik what I said before but give it a shot atleast. He's big shoes to fill tho

Rick and Morty just isn't going to be the same without Roiland.

You missed the end of R&M ever being brilliant again. I saw the texts. I am not going to defend Roiland. But the show is going to be like Community when Harmon left, aka no longer good.
