I thought they dropped the charges
Those creepy DM’s are very, very real unfortunately and weren’t part of the case you’re referring to.
I was very much in the “wait and see“ camp, but when the charges were dropped and he immediately went on that rant outside the courthouse about cancel culture and all this other coded right wing stuff…yeah I’m done with him lol. Between the creepy messages and who he has shown himself to be (some of his colleagues opened up about his behavior when the charges emerged) I just don’t like who he is as a person and don’t want to support him. AS made the right call canning him.
Oh I agree whole heartedly. But he isn’t going to prison over it is what I’m saying.
Guessing person above ya edited their comment. Any idea what it said?
He was just talking about how the texts were real And how he didn’t like Justin Roiland over that anymore or whatever. Yep, creepy texts, shitty dude. I guess he was bad like that just in general to other staff.
But this meme is about him in prison and he ain’t going there anymore is my point.
Ahhh my bad then
Hopefully they can find someone who can keep the spirit of the show alive, then. I’d hate to see it go. It was such a unique show.
Harmon and the rest of the team by all accounts were doing the heavy lifting from season 3 or 4 on. Roiland was pretty MIA.
First two seasons were bangers though
So was the last 4 after lol!
very, very real
And your proof that screenshots posted to twitter are def real and totally unfakeable is?….
asdfasdfasfasdf
So guilty until proven innocent? I shouldn’t have to tell you how backwards and nonsensical that is. What evidence that they are fake are you looking for exactly? How is that supposed to be proven? The point is that it can’t be proven either way. So maybe don’t make any career-ending assumptions based off of only that.
Public opinion is not a court of law. Do you just aimlessly quote slogans you heard to justify whatever dumb shit pops into your brain?
I honestly can not believe people are disagreeing with me. Yeah he’s a creep but that doesn’t justify making such a life changing assumption based off of that. Slogans have meaning you know. You should read it and figure out what it means. This may not be a court of law but that doesn’t justify this whatsoever. Instead of making fun of a phrase I said, you should argue about the actual fucking topic.
Am I not “guilty” of sending you the above comment? Do not sit here and try to prescribe legalese to a situation where I am saying “there are messages and they appear to be real.” I have made no mention of a crime. I said he was being creepy. You are conflating the two and ignoring all the substance of what I said.
I am not against roiland because of a crime, I am against him because he’s a creepy person. I don’t know about you, but I have no desire to sit down and have a beer with him.
Your original argument is that the messages could be fake. Give evidence or stop dancing around and move on.
Its just a phrase, I never implied this has anything to do with law. “Guilty” and “innocent” are not purely legal terms. You said you can assume they are real. If you are going to assume anything, you should have evidence. I’m not assuming anything, I don’t need evidence. You are assuming they are real, you need evidence. There is no evidence either way, as I have already said, and you ignored. So your assumption is baseless. I can’t break it down any further for you. My original argument was that the messages could be fake, yes. But that doesn’t mean I have to provide evidence. If there was evidence I wouldn’t say “could”. I was literally saying I don’t know, and it is impossible to know. But its stupid to assume its real when you can’t possibly know, just based off of your views of him in general.
Its just a phrase, I never implied this has anything to do with law. “Guilty” and “innocent” are not purely legal terms.
Oh come now. That doesn’t even make sense if I believed it, which I don’t. “Innocent until proven guilty“ is exclusive to the court of law. I don’t need to have an investigation and mount evidence to say somebody is a piece of garbage. I can use whatever I deem appropriate and you are welcome to disagree. But that is not what you did. You attempted to hide behind phony legalese and make me look like I am on some sort of witchhunt/don’t care about rights.
My original argument was that the messages could be fake, yes. But that doesn’t mean I have to provide evidence. If there was evidence I wouldn’t say “could”. I was literally saying I don’t know, and it is impossible to know.
Nonsense. You tried to cast doubt on the authenticity. Nothing you have written indicates you were just trying to be reasonable or whatever you are making yourself out to be.
Stop talking out both sides of your mouth. We all know what you said and meant.
Motherfucker, you’re the one who said “very, very real”. I asked you for your proof they are “very, very real”. If they are “very, very real” as YOU stated, then I want the proof that you have that they are “very, very real”.
They exist. That’s how they’re real. Do a cursory google search they’ve been plastered everywhere.
In case anyone is unfamiliar:
https://mashable.com/article/rick-and-morty-season-7-justin-roiland-replacement
‘Rick and Morty’ is recasting Justin Roiland for Season 7
Justin Roiland’s term as the titular offbeat pairing of Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith is truly over, with the show officially on the hunt for a new replacement voice actor(opens in a new tab). The co-creator and star of Adult Swim phenom Rick and Morty was booted from the show earlier this year, following the public unveiling of felony domestic violence charges and a widespread denouncement of inappropriate and abusive behavior among cast and crew. On Jan. 24, the show announced Roiland’s departure and reassured fans that the show would continue. The charges against Roiland have since been dismissed. <(at least this one has, good legal ass covering mashable lmao)
“Awww geez…”
Aww geez, Big Tony, not in the ass again! Oh god, oh geez ooOoooOOOOO…
Edit: Big T: Quick 2 minutes, in and out!
Aw geez
Gotta admit. When looking at the co creators of Rick and Morty I wouldn’t have thought Roiland would be the problematic one.
Really? You are surprised that the guy who made “Doc and Mharti” is a pretty disturbed person?
From what I can tell Dan Harmon just has a lot of personal issues that sometimes eeks out in his attitude towards others. Even with his problems he never seemed like he’d be the kind to actually do something awful towards others and to do it intentionally
A lot of comedians have dark issues and it’s part of the reason they can make boundary pushing comedy.
Dan harmon made way more than Rick and Morty
Rooland’s voices he does aren’t even unique imo. I’m positive there are plenty of other funny people who could cover any role he has played. Shit I can do all his famous characters and I’m an IT guy. This dude ain’t special, he just had connections.
Roiland isn’t just the voices though. Replacing voices with copycats has never been the issue. Roilands writing and ideas is what makes the show. I’m not confident in the upcoming seasons at all. They’re off to a terrible start with the new voice actor imo, terrible choice.
After reading up on Roiland and his past ventures. I’d be hesitant to say it was his writing that made the show. I’ll have to catch up on R&M to really know. But I really don’t feel like that dude is packing literary nukes in his pocket. Harmon was the one originally approached for R&M, Roiland has like Acceptable.tv as one of his only writing gigs besides R&M. I think the bulk of the talent came from elsewhere he is mostly a voice actor.
Harmon is the much better writer. Rowlands writing has been less involved for years now. The worst episodes are Roilands input.
With Harmon as sole writer the show is bound to hit a stride.
I heard Roland hasn’t written for Rick and Morty for many seasons now.
Ah, geez, Butch, the hemorrhoids in my ass are flaming still
Edgelords here making me question my lemmy account. I really hope lemmy crawls out of this phase and becomes a place that normies can feel at home.
This is “memes.” Are you expecting Dostoevsky?
Look at this little bitch over here, correctly spelling the surname of 19th century Russian novelist Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky.
What a NERD.
/s
THE SHAME
Oohh laa laa Someone’s gonna get laid in college
Actually you make a great point. Memes should be treated FAR less seriously than, say, a news magazine. Let’s remember which magazine we’re in, folks
Dicks out for Harambe, and all that
FWIW I get what you mean - we want some decent effort/OC here. I just had to be a bit tongue in cheek about it lol
I don’t want to sound like a “my way or the highway” guy, but the whole point of the Fediverse is that different instances have different rulesets and, by consequence, different users behaviors. There’s nothing wrong in looking for a place that suits your needs.
For example, places like beehaw.org have stricter moderation rules and mild interactions, with less to no shitposting at all, so if that’s what you’re into might be good for you to take a look.I get it, but the fediverse is confusing. It’s actually difficult to only see local content, or to know what instance to be on for what content. I think there needs to be some quality of life features to make it clear on how to navigate, and filter etc.
Uhhhh… Just use “local” tab?
Yeah… but it took me a while to figure out what that was, and it’s not default. I have to do it every single time.
You can change it in the settings
I’ll have to check that out.
Yeah, it might be confusing at first, like everything when it’s at their beginning and this secondary aspect will be fixed over time.
In the meanwhile the “quality of life feature” it’s still asking around about any subject in their respective communities: go and make friends <3
I kind of agree with the sentiment from the other answers. In the last weeks I’ve seen quite a few comments made by users, threatening to leave the platform because of one thing or the other. I want to be clear that I think everyone should be welcome here, and should feel there is a place for them as well. However, I am under the impression that most of these people commenting this are not really generating content themselves.
I think it’s important to realize that lemmy is in a growing stage, with growing pains. The content is as good as we, the community, make it. If you feel disenfranchised, it is certainly your right to respectfully complain, but I think it would be even more valuable to create a community that reflects your needs, and to create content that will please you and people with interests aligned with yours.
I would generate content, but I’m not good at memes! I like to comment more than post. Was on Reddit for 15 years and probably had less than a hundred posts.
I modded a gaming discussion subreddit for about 2 years and I literally never made a post, only comments lol
I blocked the meme subs, which massively improves the experience.
You’re on a meme sub though?
Sometimes I enjoy getting my balls kicked.
You know, the other ones. This is the good one of course /s
Don’t let the door hit you
Go back to Reddit.
I always love comments like this. The fediverse is a shared space. Get used to it.
Ew reddit avatar
“snoovatar” gag
Eww… a poorly drawn fox thing… avatar…?
I give up. I’m not entirely sure what that is supposed to represent 😅
I agree.
If someone is looking for the canned this-is-what-the-headline-said-so-it-is-the-truth-and-anything-that-challenges-that-is-edgy then go to one of the other multitude of social media sites that have been decimated by that exact mentality.
For me, Lemmy is a place where ideas can be discussed, and not automatically downvoted into oblivion because it may challenge the conventional wisdom, and that’s what Reddit used to be too.
Edit: Just to be clear, this is to say nothing about the Justin Roiland debacle, just the sentiment of Lemmy.
