Ding! Ding! Ding!

This is the take. I think instead of projecting onto the show and questioning it’s morality, you should be questioning your own experience and why you’re uncomfortable by it.

I watch Rick and Morty because it’s a funny sci fi show. I recognize the characters as caricatures of negative traits to explore and represent ideas or discussions to relate to through a sci-fi lens. My experience…kinda ends there. It doesn’t make me really question anything, I’m just there to laugh. Their negative traits are there to fuel comedy.

If you find those traits or ideas uncomfortable, or think it goes beyond that, instead of asking the show “why”, I think it’s more better for you in the long run to ask yourself “why”. All of our experiences are unique and subjective, you’re the only one that can really decipher why you feel a negative impact from it.
