Add it to the pile, I guess
Give it a nibble. You might like it.
Yeeeeeaaaaah, when I read the bit about narrow talking points being allowed, I knew the author was either going to have a good point about Reddit's tendency to circlejerk, or be a bigoted piece of shit. Not really shocked it's the latter.
What do you mean? You don't like getting automated messages informing you that while your opinion is very important to Senator Bloodfeast, he has opted to continue to go against your best interests, and here's why that's actually good for you and you're a stupid idiot for thinking otherwise?
Well that's doubleplus ungood.
See, that's the thing. Pickle Rick was funny because he went through all that bullshit just to avoid going to therapy. The show was making an excellent point about how stigmatized therapy is, and how bettering yourself is hard work, work many people just don't want to do. (Basically, "men would rather turn themselves into pickles than go to therapy.")
Of course, any actual nuance is lost on the "high IQ" R&M fans. I've always seen Rick as similar to Eric Cartman or the Joker: if you idolize him, you missed the point.
