I saw a clear separation between me and the idiot part of the demographic who enjoys the show at the Pickle Rick episode.
It wasn’t funny. It wasn’t even a good story or episode. It was just the writers deciding to come up with the most blatantly random thing for the sole sake of randomness.

Rick and Morty was the show for me in the beginning even when the dumbasses showed up, but it lost its appeal after the scandal. Just doesn’t feel the same.

the scandal???

I assume they mean Justin Roiland being found out as a sexual predator of underage girls …

Probably this one where a bunch of fans attacked a McDonald’s to get Szechuan sauce. Rick and Morty got some mainstream attention. People would say something like “You like R&M? You must be toxic.”

I feel like they’re more likely talking about Jeff Roiland’s abuse allegations, after which they canned him as writer/ voice actor and the show kind of lost it’s flair.

Yeahh the Szechuan thing kinda tainted the whole show for me. It was a dumb bit that went too far and the cringe fallout still lingers…
