Did everyone forget the texts to minors? Dude was a predator. He wasn't dropped from the show just on the DV accusations but also the mountain of evidence that show he was a creep. https://wegotthiscovered.com/celebrities/justin-roiland-claims-embittered-ex-tried-to-have-him-canceled-but-fans-ask-what-about-those-alleged-creepy-messages-to-minors/

The number of people in this post that don't understand the difference between a private company's HR/PR decisions and the actual legal system is shocking.

No one said they couldn’t fire roiland because it violates laws. They said he shouldn’t have been fired because of the concept of innocent until proven guilty. That’s separate from the law.

But the text messages to minors should be enough for anyone to want him fired.

What are you talking about? "Innocent until proven guilty" is only relevant from the perspective of the law.

Had completely forgotten about this and was wondering why it had been so long since I'd seen new R&M. This explains a lot.

Didn't some come out recently?

in case anyone else was wondering, the answer to the replacement method is 'soundalikes'

This is why you don’t short yourself on voice actors and make only one do them all. Hinging your entire success off of one and only one person brings and creates it’s own risks.

It shouldn't be a problem, there are some really good Justin Roiland soundalikes, and it's not like Rick's voice hasn't changed over the course of the show anyways.

The harder part will be finding someone with the right comedic timing. That's Roiland's bigger contribution to the show
