Making comments like that and worse to young teenage fans makes him look a lot like a predator. You should read some of the text exchanges where he’s encouraging girls who he’s been talking to for years and have just turned 18 to hang out and get drunk with him.

Roiland isn't a great person, but great artists rarely are. All charges were dropped, so all he's guilty of is being a horny creep, like most men of his generation.

I personally wouldn't do anything like that now, but I definitely would have in my cringey youth. People learn and grow. I'm not him, so I can't say with certainty, but I'm pretty sure he won't do or say anything like that again. How does canceling him now benefit anyone?

He's from the 80s. I generally despise sweeping generalisations about generations, but I don't think I've seen "millennials are sexual predators" before.
