Nothing about Rick & Morty is "male feminist" and in that train episode they even made fun of women a lot.
Idk where all this Roiland hate on the right comes from. The dude is an entertainment genius.
And I don't change my barometer for right and wrong based on the individual politics of the victim. Roiland got done dirty by some hoes and libtard society canceled him. Fuck that. I stand with him as a man, regardless of his politics.
After the whole Szechuan sauce thing it became popular for bloggers to openly shit on Rick and morty fans for like a year or two. Real mean spirited stuff. They were essentially the like white men of fandoms for a while and it was acceptable, if not outright encouraged, to constantly complain about how terrible they were. Roiland and Harmon were happy to do press tours with these same blogs at the time and they made zero attempts to defend their fans. Worse, they made a big show of hiring on female writers to try and appeal to these same bloggers. The shows appealing at a surface level but if you paid attention im real time they like fully outed themselves as typical “Hollywood” guys.
That's a legitimate criticism, plus I think like someone else said, that's probably Dan Harmon driving that, not Roiland. Roiland is more the "talent" and Harmon runs the business side.
