Interesting perspective re: the R&M fandom and why the show creates so many wannabe-Ricks http://zennistrad.tumblr.com/post/147688417508/sonnetscrewdriver-lierdumoa-lierdumoa
@Gargron I wouldnt say it creates ricks, i would say people who were ricks already identify with rick
@Laurelai None of them actually are Ricks though. I think that's the whole point with the sauce. The sauce was completely random and arbitrary, a subversion of any higher goal, since for Rick, nothing matters. Rick would not stand in line for a day for the sauce, he would not trade his car for a packet of that sauce. Those are the things those fans did.
But if you simply mean to say they're assholes like Rick, yes.
@Gargron Yes thats what i mean, they are Rick in the sense of being awful to other people, they cling to his image like a lucky rabbits foot or a talisman hoping that they become smart like Rick, when all they are is evil like Rick.
@Laurelai the point of my original post was more or less that R&M is about how terrible Rick's life is because of his behaviour. But because the crime and the punishment are separated, these viewers only see the crime and adopt it as validation of their own similar behaviours
@Gargron peter did a good video on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHurovzyEWo
