Weren't all charges against him dropped?
I'm all for rooting out the predators I'm our society, but what are we doing when we take a franchise away from it's creator based on accusations that don't even have enough weight to warrant a trial?
A core tenant of our justice system is "innocent until proven guilty". Was there even an internal company investigation that justifies punishing him?
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.
