Roiland, whose exit from the Adult Swim series was announced in January in light of domestic abuse charges, had voiced the title characters since its 2013 launch.

      His case was closed due to lack of evidence or something, but there’s still a ton of actual real evidence that got released online of him perving on underage girls and talking about how much he wants to bang 15 year olds, so it’s doubtful anyone’s going to be doing business with him again any time soon

        I think someone unearthed a clip of him on a podcast talking about sex with kids which at the time was probably seen as edgy humour but… Yeah. Something to do with wishing he could go back to the past because then it ok to sleep with teens? Can’t remember. Don’t care enough to Google it. But it’s beyond doubt the man should probably be on a watch list

          The last one I saw he was clearly trying to get young girls to send nude pictures, but in a “hahaha it’s just a joke hahaha you should totally do it though for humor hahaha” kinda way

      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.

          1. That’s not how it works…

          2. 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.

              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.

                    Everytime Kissinger is mentioned I have to think of this Anthony Bourdain quote:

                    “Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.”

                    Bourdain is dead and that shit stain Kissinger is now over 100 years old. The world is not fair.

                  Sorry, man. I don’t know thing one but this crowd here, they KNOW things, they have LISTS of names, they got their own personal CONVICTION. Looks like Reddit has arrived. (I don’t have proof of that, but I saw a video about a guy who read a post and …)

                    There are plenty of screenshots, and more importantly recordings online of Roiland actually saying these things offhandedly like they’re just funny jokes for his podcasts. You can hear the other people there with him getting more and more uncomfortable. It’s not something I just pulled out of my ass, if you spend 30 seconds searching you can easily find all of this
