I thought they dropped the charges

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?

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

First two seasons were bangers though

[–] LegendofZelda64@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

So was the last 4 after lol!

[–] hungry_freaks_daddy@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

very, very real

And your proof that screenshots posted to twitter are def real and totally unfakeable is?….

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.

[–] hungry_freaks_daddy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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”.

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?

[–] funkajunk@lemm.ee 37 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Look at this little bitch over here, correctly spelling the surname of 19th century Russian novelist Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky.

What a NERD.

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

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.

[–] Lapistola@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.fmhy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Uhhhh... Just use "local" tab?

[–] pH3ra@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] NotSpez@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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 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.

Don't let the door hit you

[–] Mewtwo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I blocked the meme subs, which massively improves the experience.

[–] crystal@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You're on a meme sub though?

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

You know, the other ones. This is the good one of course /s

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)

[–] onionbaggage@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Gotta admit. When looking at the co creators of Rick and Morty I wouldn't have thought Roiland would be the problematic one.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Really? You are surprised that the guy who made "Doc and Mharti" is a pretty disturbed person?

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Hexadecimalkink@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

A lot of comedians have dark issues and it's part of the reason they can make boundary pushing comedy.

[–] EarJava@lemmy.fmhy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Dan harmon made way more than Rick and Morty

[–] raspberry_confetti@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

Ah, geez, Butch, the hemorrhoids in my ass are flaming still

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Whirlybird@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Hyperi0n@lemmy.film 6 points 1 year ago

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.
