Wasnt Roiland actually cleared by the court?

Yes, but: a lot of other pretty unwholesome stuff came out about him during the process and his contract has a clause in it that allows him to be terminated on that basis; it's actually pretty common for people in his kind of position to have contracts like that.

Got a lonk? Curious to see what other stuff came out.

in any case it’s nothing that anyone dared to show any judge.

so for all intents and purposes, bullshit

doesn't matter, these"judges" already convicted him. Forget due process. Getting accused publicly == being guilty forever on social media.

It's also important to remember that this is how most abuse cases work out. There is almost never enough evidence because it is almost impossible to proof beyond reasonable doubt. It's incredibly rare that someone gets convicted in an abuse case, no matter if they actually committed abuse or not. The victim has to basically stand in court with the gunk and fingerprints of the perpetrator still on them and video material that shows it wasn't self-defense from the other side, for any conviction to actually happen.

So we should be satisfied ruining people's lives based on accusations alone?

That's what you take from it? No, I think there should be no reports or articles or mentions on any cases that have not yet been decided upon by a court. A private's persons life is not ruined by an accusation because it almost never leads to a conviction, regardless of whether they are guilty or not.

Sorry, I thought you were saying in subtext that we should only judge based on accusations since evidence is hard to get for abuse cases. My bad!

No, I am really not that good in English. I often realise people understand it slightly different than what I meant. But I can't do anything about it lol

How does that saying go again? By the time Truth puts its shoes on, a Lie has travelled around the world.
