This thread is pretty much the least toxic place to discuss R&M on the internet, currently. Rick and Morty Schwiftposting is nuts right now, and the subreddit is only marginally better.

The thread is worse during the episodes. Hey, dip out for a while and want to discuss the show that aired yesterday? Here's ten pages of white noise posts repeating a line from the episode! Close the thread and keep it closed is what I'm saying.

On the other hand, y'know, it's kind of cool having a place on the internet where people aren't aggressively making GBS threads on the show solely because women are writing it (And I'm not assuming anything, the idiots on Schwiftposting are directly saying they feel betrayed by the show because they hired women to write episodes)

Can you imagine being enough of a small-brained ninny that you literally get mad when a show you like hires women to write for them? A show where half the cast are female and both main female characters are being pulled into more important, central roles? How utterly brokebrained and sad is your garbage life and your terrible views? I think Rick & Morty has told the stories it needs to tell about Rick & Morty going on adventures together, and Picklerick is certainly a swan song in terms of zany sci-fi antics taken to the extreme. I think for Dr. Wong's assessment of Rick and Beth to have come so early we are probably going to get more Summer/Morty vs Rick/Beth plotlines this season, and I hope Jerry fits in to this somewhere, but I wouldn't be surprised if Jerry's voice actor is getting busier and has less time for the show.

He don't give no fucks, he refuses to recognize any authority except himself, when the women in his life get messed up he just replaces them ...

People didn't quite get that Rick isn't supposed to be a fuckin' role model. There's also a distressing number of people who didn't realize that Jerry is also a bad person, and that he's supposed to be the universe's punching bag.

Suuuuuuure, but Libertarianism isn't (or at least wasn't before the last couple years) grounded in misogyny, it just attracts the kind of people who'd rather bark orders than take them. The overlap with "People who like to yell and don't play well with others" and "people who disrespect women and their agency" is probably pretty high. As for MRA:  Also, LOL at anyone who cant see that Rick's views on women are the poison that is slowly killing him worse than any alcohol ever could. "Rick is so cool and independent, his daughter is a struggling alcoholic divorce' who tells her children to gently caress off during family therapy, and the only women he ever loved besides Beth's mom (presumably) is a galactic parasite that thinks HE is a bad influence, and he's so ABOVE it all that when she rejects him he tries to kill himself! I see all this behavior and think it's Morty, Summer and Dr. Wong who are all in the wrong" ~Real, possibly adult aged, men on Erth. loving kill me.

I don't think that the show Rick & Morty or the character of Rick represents anything, and that sick people will assign whatever their current issue is towards whatever they wish and would have the same arguments toward toward Game of Thrones, That 70's Show, or Godzilla.

Libertarianism has been misogynist as gently caress since at least Ayn Rand. It's not a new thing at all.

Yeah, let's strip that entire statement from it, thus making it pointless violence. Also, since its level of violence is now too high when stripped of a balancing counterpoint let's downgrade that violence. This is surely a sensible thing to do. Never change, internet.

The therapist casually tearing down Rick and then ending the session because time was up and asking for poo poo-eater referrals was the best part of the episode. Even if you didn't like the other parts without PR, that is still a weird and dumb thing to cut.

That kind of thinking is being explicitly called unhealthy in this episode so... some people are gonna feel attacked. There are clearly some people who just didn't like the talky/introspective bits, and that's fine. I don't mean to paint anyone who doesn't like this episode as emotionally stunted or anything. But yeah, Rick is hosed up in a way that a lot of real people are, and of course those people would love this show, and I can totally see why they're upset at being called out by a show that they used to think gets them.

CelticPredator posted:What if I just wanna watch pickle Rick gently caress up Some rats? That's fine too, I watched the rough cut of that probably a dozen times before the episode. It's just weird to leave in PR in the therapist office but (badly) cut out most of the dialogue. The action parts are at least still entertaining out of context, watching one side of a conversation is dumb, it's not like there's even a ton of quotable stuff there.

Eiba posted:If there's a common thread between internet libertarians and MRAs it's something that was discussed in this episode- using your intelligence to repress a problem. There's a neat simple logical solution that feels good and does not challenge the thinker's emotions, and a logical but emotionally challenged person will find it immensely appealing. I guess, to me, Rick isn't very entertaining alone, he needs a straight man. Maybe that was part of the point, as someone said earlier.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:It's not that I don't like talky/introspective parts in general, I really liked the stuff with morty and summer in this season's opener, and rixty minutes was good too. I just found this particular instance a little predictable and ham-handed. (Well, outside the poo poo-eating parts.) Rick making GBS threads on therapy and then the therapist making GBS threads on him was like, the obvious thing they were very slowly driving towards. I wasn't surprised or shocked, there was no mic drop, and that disappointed me. In the meantime, the action with rick was brilliantly animated and funny at times but it felt a little lifeless without, well, a human with him going "what the hell man?". She didn't poo poo on Rick; she just explained her view of the situation. Maybe Rick will come around to it eventually.

The episode was lame and unfunny with about three jokes stretched over thirty minutes (as well as a good dose of monkey cheeze), and all of y'all eating up Jessica Gao's obvious self-insert therapist character make me sad to the bones. I agree w/ pretty much everything lovely Wizard had to say ~

Those two things are connected, though. People aren't born with the Barking Orders or Taking Orders gene, it's a set of beliefs they develop because of culture, and we live in a culture that (especially historically) says economics, politics, and governing are mens' work. Like it's not a coincidence that demographic research usually says self-identified libertarians are more likely to be white and male than self-identified conservatives or Republicans.

The Human Crouton posted:Can someone seriously explain to me why some people know so much about Dan Harmon and the inner workings of his brain? I mean, even if he puts that information out there, why are you consuming it with such fervor and using it to build a framework through which you view and enjoy media. I was watching television and Dan Harmon came on to be interviewed about Community, which was a show that I liked. So I watched it and learned some details about him. He then did a show where he played D&D with people and I watched some of that as well. He also does a podcast, but I don't watch that. Others here might, though. A lot of stuff about him personally is likely mentioned in that podcast. It's pretty much as simple as that.
