If adult swim is known for anything it’s canceling their hit tv shows. You know how early Hollywood had a rural purge, if Rick and morty is canned I’m going to call the period from when they canceled metalocylipse to Rick and morty the dudebro purge.

    I basically assume any person who would make a product like Rick and Morty is a complete scumbag. I hate that show, but more I hate the attitude and worldview it promulgates and normalizes.

      I've never watched it enough to know what attitude and worldview it normalizes. Could it be described as anything other than "lib shit"?

        I'd refute that it espouses much 'lib shit', if at all. The worldviews people seem to hate about it are nihilism and 'one guy can do everything'ism, but I've never seen the show actually depict those as particularly overly good things.

        Kinda disagree. South park is the most nihilistic show on TV. It is functionally the same show except all the characters revel in their sins. Rick and Morty says it is about nihilism. Then it constantly shows it character's unhappy. The only time anyone on the show is meaningfully written as happy or winning is when they are just nice to each other. So it is about alienation and being trapped in it.
