There are three authors in the magazine, and the tweet doesn’t indicate who the assistant is. If you read the article and then clicked the link the magazine, you couldn’t tell which work was being promoted.

It’s really refreshing to hear such positive stories in an industry (japanese manga) that is still soul-crushingly difficult to work in.
The intended relationship between main artist and assistant is that of a mentorship. Kudos to the ChainsawMan mangaka to also promote his subordinate’s work with such elegance and…

One of the major parts of the article over the voice actors is explaining that the term used was to refer to straight women that obsessively look at such material. The author made it clear that because the actor is a gay trans man, this opinion is informed by personal experience.

Honestly super cool he’s promoting the work of his assistants

Those are “fake,” apparently. Been seeing that one floating around. Because them being “faked” is apparently a more convincing scenario than them being evidence of a pattern of behavior.

Do you have evidence that they were fake?

Are you suggesting the DMs were faked?

Yeah, he kept calling her “dumb biiiiiitch”, presumably texting in his Rick voice, as though that made it okay.

Only in a court of law. The court of public opinion has a different standard.

This. Dude was trolling under age girls acting like an Alpha Incel. I was a HUGE Roiland fan, R and M, Solar Opposites, high on life, all very very fun entertainment vehicles. After I saw those texts, and there’s been radio silence from Roiland concerning them? I’m out man. Won’t watch another episode. Atleast come…

That’s exactly what happened to my best friend. When her POS then-boyfriend put her in the hospital, no witnesses came forward. And the “investigators” took almost two weeks to take her statement. So, completely unsurprisingly, there was no evidence to support her statement and disprove his.  

I presumed he was innocent for well over a decade until I saw evidence of bad enough stuff that I changed my mind. He doesn’t have to go to court for something for you to believe it and have it affect your opinion of someone.

No, the presumption in our legal system is innocence. People not connected to the case are not bound to consider him innocent.

Yes, to convict someone of a crime that is a good rule to follow.

Not when you start getting evidence to the contrary. 

The LEGAL presumption is innocence. He got the benefit of that presumption with the domestic violence allegation, and now he’s a free man. Doesn’t mean people who aren’t a judge or an empanelled member of his jury can’t look at his other skeevy behavior and draw their own conclusions.

The presumption is “not guilty” as far as the legal system is concerned. Employers can draw any conclusion they want. 

Seriously. Focusing on one while ignoring the other feels like “Just don’t look over here.”

I mean, there’s still all that horrific shit of him sliding into underage girls DMs and telling them they’re hot jailbait.

I really appreciate the “don’t give money to the big guys who lobby to make you have to pay them to prepare and file your taxes every year on top of more money if you have a complicated tax situation or want every opportunity for deductions” attitude but I really don’t think I’d be comfortable actually doing this.
