The joke was that there was no joke, Rick is just being an asshole and disappointing everyone around him. But between that and the shezuan sauce incident, I realized the fandom has literally zero media literacy, they're just clapping at shapes and colors.

    Everyone's media literacy, reading comprehension, ability to appreciate nuance or capacity to consider multiple non-mutually-exclusive ideas in their head at once is vanishing.

    It's actually so fucking depressing to see how many people who I agree with politically and ethically are also kind of stupid and seem to have peaked intellectually.

    I don't know if its gotten worse, we should expect it to have gotten better now that people consume more media than ever.

    If judging from my trump-supporting, boomer extended family playing Jimmy Hendrix's Star Spangeled Banner at a 4th of July cookout, it was always terrible.

    These include people who are still mad at Jane Fonda and blame the vietnamese for defending themselves.
