Don't worry, guys. I've been assured that this system is perfectly meritocratic.

I'm just going to keep calling it Twitter, and I'm honestly unsure of why everyone else, media outlets included, aren't doing the same.
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 your world on late-stage capitalism.
I don't get it.
My child brain always thought Hariyama's orange chest thing was a big nose.
I think I'd rather not give the company money at all.
I hope this is what the reboot is about.
I think we might be doomed.
I believe it is demonstrable that social science as a field has been a victim of intense ideological capture, considering that publishing anything that goes against that distinction is a good way to lose your job. When arguments against it aren't allowed, you can't rightly point to the lack of arguments against it.
It's so cute!
