MODERATORS
If Reddit had been any indication, the debate around Roiland's culpability seems to polarize around the idea that since the charges were dropped he evidently must not have been guilty, and the idea that even though the charges were dropped, we have, through sheer coincidence, just now decided that his various past behaviors warrant immediate cancellation anyway (and that he's totally guilty no matter what, either way).
I feel like the justice system needs to evolve in a way that protects people against social ostracism of this sort, should they turn out innocent. Even if Roiland himself is truly guilty, the fact that we live in a system where someone else who is innocent could feasibly end up in similar circumstances is unacceptable in a society as connected as ours.
This is not a legal issue, but a social one.
I think Marvel learned from Adult Swim's mistake (if you want to call it that), waiting on evidence presented in court before deciding whether or not to get rid of Jonathan Majors.
I'm frankly not that upset about Justin Roiland being gone from the show though because 1) He apparently has had limited control over the show over the past few years anyways 2) he reportedly has been caught dead-to-rights flirty with underage fans and 3) former coworkers have said that trying to work with him on Rick & Morty specifically was a harrowing and awful experience due to his childlike behavior.
Plus the sound-alikes are pretty good if the end of the teaser is any indication.

Meanwhile Solar Opposites just said "fuck it" and cast someone who doesn't sound like him at all, and came up with the most hilariously absurd reasoning behind the voice change.
I love that they did that. That introduction of their voices was hilarious!
Idk the answer to this but there has definitely been proof that Roiland is a fuckin creepy piece of shit. Just because you didn't break the law doesn't mean it's all good.
Also Reddit is one of the dumbest hivemind dogshit websites that exists. Don't waste your time trying to figure out their reasoning.
I see where you are coming from and I agree that due to the ease of modern communications "accountability" can easily be weaponized.
I am not sure how this relates at all to the "justice system", however. Are private organizations only allowed to part ways with an employee because they committed crimes? This is not really about "guilt" that can be proven or disproven in a court case, and there are already mechanisms in place for people to be compensated if they can show that they were unfairly treated or if contracts were violated.

It wasn't a fully formed proposal, honestly. You make a very good point.

I frankly think that you probably shouldn't be fired for mere suspicion of a crime; there has to at least be a fair bit of demonstrable evidence. For example there is a fair bit of demonstrable evidence that Roiland flirted with underage fans.
My body is ready.
