wasnt he cleared recently??
Show threadImplyingImplicationsJul 25, 2023
Charges dropped by district attorney due to the case not having enough compelling evidence to secure a conviction. Not exactly cleared, the prosecutor just didn’t think they could secure a conviction.

  • That’s not how it works…

  • In the course of all this, a lot of other shit came out that’s more than enough for him to lose his jobs over.

    well it is actually, you know innocent until proven guilty.

    Just because he was not proven guilty doesn’t mean everyone is legally required to just ignore all the very real evidence that was released of him being an actual internet predator/pedophile. Generally companies tend to shy away from being associated with that sort of thing.

    i think they are gonna lose much more money buy ruining the show…

    It’s entirely possible. However I am 100% certain the network would probably just cancel the show entirely before they let Justin Roiland back on the payroll.

    He hasn’t contributed to the writing since like season w 2 or 3. I think it will probably be fine with a different voice actor

    It’s pretty well documented at this point that Roiland didn’t even like doing the show anymore, and was basically just showing up for a paycheck by the later seasons.

    Getting someone else who actually wants to be there and still loves the the show and the work it takes to make it will probably be better for everyone in my opinion.
