Despite all his rage, he's still just a Rick in a cage. It's almost time to dive back into dimension-hopping chaos. Rick and Morty Season 7 is coming soon. Stream seasons 1-6 now on Max: http://bit.ly/3hRw9rU

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.

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.
