this is vaguely related to the string theory related post from a day or two ago, it's all bazinga science folks TL;DW string theory is a big thing because people that read pop science really liked it and it took a long time for physicists to come out in force and say "this is untestable garbage"

    I get you don't like my assertions that people probably behave in the ways we observe them behaving. What is your point? That we need to police everyone's treat consumption patterns? That all of this is fake and we haven't enjoyed problematic treats for all recorded history? That my media criticism skills are lacking and my analysis that sad man appears to be sad is fascile?

      I get you don’t like my assertions that people probably behave in the ways we observe them behaving.

      What an incredibly arrogant way to put it, with a "we" to imply that surely you're not only speaking for yourself when it comes to your sermons on the biotruths of the human race and how evil and stupid it must be as a whole.

      Your attempts to transmute your misanthropy into not-universally-but-universally accepted facts is pure :reddit-logo: brain with, yes, Rick and Morty characteristics.

      What is your point?

      What is your point? You keep claiming that your deeply absorbed propaganda ideology is some scientific fact or near-universal constant and you keep ignoring people saying that they don't share your beliefs and don't apply to your not-universal-but-mostly-universal claims.

      That my media criticism skills are lacking

      Yeah, I am, because you're not criticizing it. You're making excuses for the entertainment product that came from the :libertarian-approaching: edgelord ideology of a pedophilic worker abusing monster and his worker abusing diet-monster buddy.

        Letting people enjoy a silly cartoon occasionally is misanthropic? I think you are losing perspective here

          You've moving the goalposts sooooooo far here. At no point did I say you weren't allowed to enjoy the misanthropic nihilistic propaganda of a pedophile worker abuser and his worker abusing buddy. But clearly that entertainment's message has been absorbed by you to the point of driving you to continually claim how not-universal-universal its message is when applied not only to you but to humanity in general.

          I think you are losing perspective here

          You can indulge in your edgy propaganda show. Don't expect it to not get criticized sometimes.

            I'd that were simply it we wouldn't have a conversation. I think you are criticizing it incorrectly. You are mad at what it is, not what it does I feel. Which ignores the context of the moment in important ways.

              I think you are criticizing it incorrectly.

              I think you're arrogant and presumptive about the character of humanity itself when you absorb a bunch of misanthropic nihilistic propaganda from a rich white pedophile with domestic violence tendencies and continually make claims about how universal and near-constant the message is and how it totally applies to almost everyone.

              You are mad at what it is

              If you're going to do "u mad" games, you're definitely enraged that the show got criticized, period, and that I'm not nodding along to your arrogant biotruth assumptions about how everyone is evil and stupid and tempted to be Rick Sanchez if given the chance.
