Is it only possible to fire a toxic asshole because he committed crimes?
This exactly. Just because the charges dismissed against somebody doesn't mean the internal investigations didn't make it clear they'd be better off without his influence, and it also doesn't mean the person is innocent of being deeply toxic and likely to run into issues again, it just means a prosecutor wasn't willing to risk anything other than a clear win as so often happens with these types of cases.
Of course not... But what evidence do we have that he was a toxic asshole?
All those text message logs of inappropriate conversations with underage girls
I just googled them.
Yup. He had to go.
I found it. It’s right here! The first instance of anyone changing their mind in a debate on the internet!
I've actually seen that a few times here on lemmy. Plus I saw someone discuss some of their more conservative opinions on a respectful way and they weren't downvoted or attacked. I mostly disagreed with what they said but it was nice to see actual discourse.
I mean, not the greatest thing ever but I'm not sure they are as bad as everyone makes them out to be? He is just saying outlandish shit... I mean the characters on the show have the same humor so I'm not sure what anyone expected.

That's what I was wondering. I wonder if there's any actual evidence of anything occurring, or if it's more of a case that it would be dramatically cheaper to replace him.
Yeah,I just googled the text messages mentioned above. Definitely super creepy and predatory.
All I could find were places talking about them, not the actual messages themselves. Was it clear that he knew they were underage before he started hitting on them?
Yeah, she was a 16 yr old with braces, and he called her jail bait.
