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 innocent could feasibly end up in similar circumstances is unacceptable in a society as connected as ours.
