Is Rick and Morty a cry of truth, disinformation, or just a cartoon?

0 2017-12-04 by CybergothiChe

Conspiracy Time.

The anti-Rick and Morty crowd is a disinformation group, and Rick and Morty is a cry of truth.

Consider the fact that Rick and Morty deals with issues on the cutting edge of science, questioning the reality of our existence, could it be a way to discredit and divert the debate.

This takes the form of your basic ad hominem attacks, 'guilty by association' fallacy, such as :

"I hear that people who are fans of Rick and Morty are also talking about dimensional travel, multiverse theory, simulation theory, aliens, overarching galactic government, looking into other potential timelines, and so on, but people who are fans of Rick and Morty are also shrieking "Pickle Rick" to one another on the streets. I'm not sure I can put any stock into people like that, therefore I guess what they are trying to say is also just as stupid."

or

"I hear that people talking about dimensional travel, multiverse theory, simulation theory, aliens, overarching galactic government, looking into other potential timelines, and so on, but those concepts are also in Rick and Morty, Rick and Morty is a morally subversive, and distasteful program, therefore I can also attribute those traits to the ideas contained within."

There are more layers to it, but you don't wanna know about it here. If you want more info on logical fallacies, please go here : http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/index.html#index

Or, for the same reasons, is Rick and Morty itself the disinformation campaign.

Anti-intellectualism is a serious problem, which has been seen in fascist governments and oppressive governments. The next step is usually burning books.

And you know what they say, anywhere they burn books, they will soon enough burn people.

Or maybe it's just a cartoon that we all enjoy, and nothing more, these topics are contained within it for the very fact that they are on the cutting edge of science, challenging the traditional concept of the nature of reality, is why they are used in a cartoon about a scientist exploring those areas.

All I know is that incest porn should have a more mainstream appeal.

Thanks for reading. Keep watching the skis!

yes what? yes all three?

perhaps. is that some sort of quantum approach to this theory?

1 babaroga73 2017-12-04

maybe?

1 CybergothiChe 2017-12-04

now that's a opinion one can stand by!

Scared of a potential movement?

I suspect a little theorizing from someone like us.. but it is just a cartoon.

1 Wheretuh 2017-12-04

It's just a woke cartoon.

1 Adastra_plusultra 2017-12-04

Correct.

1 Downhere_Seeds 2017-12-04

I think these comments are just ads specifically placed by the show producers to drum up controversy and get people to watch.

1 LurkPro3000 2017-12-04

Eh, it's more than just ads. The main character, who is far more intelligent than the rest, has outright disdain for the government and authority and boasts about being "banned from the federation". My point is, that sort of character development is more than a few comments.

It’s just a cartoon. Ricks musings about the universe and the futility of emotions and attachments are not in a vacuum. They are almost always challenged, sometimes rightly sometimes wrongly by Morty on the regular.

There’s lots of commentary on the struggles of marriage, the consequences of teen pregnancy, personal responsibility and social or cultural expectations.

But none of which I believe is designed to be some sort of disinformation campaign or virtue signaling to the proletariat. As someone said above, it’s just a woke cartoon,

1 Kewkewmore 2017-12-04

It's just a cartoon. And as of season 3, it's a bad cartoon.

1 mafian911 2017-12-04

It had some good episodes. Morty's Mind Blowers, the Ricklantis Mixup, and the Mortchurian Candidate were decent.

The other episodes were clearly a lapse of writing quality though. Except for maybe the first episode.

1 Thinkingfellersunion 2017-12-04

Hard to say, I just plain don't like the show. Gimme sealab2021 over r&m any day.

1 Wheretuh 2017-12-04

Gimme the brak show.

1 Thinkingfellersunion 2017-12-04

Three hams will thrill him, three hams will fill him, you should feed Thundercles's fish three hams!

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not

1 Sjt05 2017-12-04

I feel like ive seen this comment before

1 TheMadQuixotician 2017-12-04

Idk, I think the show is hilarious but it's like it's a purposeful caricature of a Rick and Morty fan

1 RobertAntonWilson 2017-12-04

It's an ugly meme.

1 TheMadQuixotician 2017-12-04

Ohh thanks

Hey, if rick's one line gets people to ask questions about 9/11, I'd say it's worth putting up with the thinly veiled bullshit.

1 CybergothiChe 2017-12-04

4chan hates everyone

thanks for the pic, though :)

1 Burrito_nap 2017-12-04

This was a real comment, but is now a popular copypasta. Makes me laugh every time.

1 TheMadQuixotician 2017-12-04

Ahh that makes a lot of sense

1 petrus_reevus 2017-12-04

Every porn is incest porn if you think, only difference is how far(or close) related the cousins are

1 Catsarenotreptilians 2017-12-04

It is the cartoon version of the big bang theory. It has its moments but it literally tried too hard at one point and became sickening to stomach.

1 groman31 2017-12-04

They aren't even cutting edge. Most of their high-level concepts have already been explored many, many times over the past half-century of science fiction.

It's not smart. It's not woke. It just feels that way to people who are learning about this stuff for the first time.

anything that takes your time away from you is disinfo to you and your world. All cartoons are mind rotting, all tv programming is. Nothing different w this show. Faced with the daily attacks on the vast number of issues that your life depends on, what on earth is Rick & Morty offering to you? Does Morty's constant whining help you feel more #woke or more #cholita? Good, feeling woke is the first step. Am I able to take the next step... or am I stuck repeating step one ....over and over again like a post-modern Nietzschean retard? There's a good reason Freud used that nutcase as his baseline for modern psychology ...which Jung took to build his "hero's journey" myth. So now we have Harmon stating that his template for the show is "hero's journey". So there you have it... why THAT one? Do you personally feel hero's journey is a helpful myth or is it just another Santa Claus domestic fantasy fostering messianic visions? I do like cartoon shows, but realistically it is childish escapism. that's precious but what's new?
