I am sure as shit not clicking that link. I want more Rick and Morty. Can we simply skip the Roiland bit and hire a bunch of no-name YouTube impersonators to take his place? Unsure of tone? It's bleak and we all want to die. Also, we watched Star Trek and Outer Limits growing up.
What's a better legacy than, "Morty was voiced by Carl Lemmons in seasons 6-16. Morty was previously voiced by a sexual predator(?), but we try to ignore that part becuse money, money, money, m-uuuuh-knee."
Wanna ride the Roiland fan-wagon? What if we didn't say that last bit? What a great legacy for who appears to have ignored the foghorn loud alert of the me-too-movement.
Note: I refuse to know the extent of his crimes. Please don't tell me; I am not prepared to hear about every evil in this world. If you must, please use other shit bags to explain. "Roiland is accused of Kevin Spacey bullshit" or "Roiland is accused of "Weinstien levels of bullshit."
Or Roiland is accused of murdering the Zodiac killer and absorbing the souls of Ted Cruz's father's victims' souls, instead of releasing them to an afterlife of nothing but 24hr Sit and Be Fit.
I believe they already replaced his voice actor for Solar Opposites and we don't yet know how they are going to go with R&M. There were some pretty good impersonators so they could easily keep the voice the same or they could change it completely.
