I met a trans lesbian socialist who does a lot of pro-Palestine organizing recently.

She also really likes Rick and Morty.

    i think in general online leftists care too much about the media someone else consumes. like…oh you watch rick and morty?? cool i guess, not really for me. i don’t really think it invalidates their politics lol

        i think even having qualifications on whether or not it is ‘sus’ is pretty damn dumb lmao. do you think that if someone who turns on Adult Swim at like 10pm and falls asleep has given financial support to Justin Roiland or something by letting it play on their TV.

        I don’t watch R&M btw but like I said, online leftists care way too much about the TV or movies others consume when at the end of the day, 90% of people are not going into a movie or starting a show to take political opinions from it or otherwise

          It’s a blanket statement on piracy, people watching ads or willingly paying big corpos are on their way to being brain broken. Sure there are exceptions, like some old ladies and whatnot, but majority don’t survive successfully treats delivery system.

          If you don’t bother with big nas shenanigans, usb stick to save couple of seasons of office or friends or rick and morty is still cheaper than a month of slopscription.

      Yeah I dont admit it much, but smoking a joint and watching Rick and Morty with my partner is a guilty pleasure. Some of it’s horribly cringe, some just horrible, of course, but when I’m high I can just ignore it and laugh at funny gags

      Happens like once every 6 months, but I do look forward to it when we plan a high night tbh

      But I don’t necessarily think this reflects on my politics much at all.

      i care too much about people ‘consuming’ media… reading that phrase makes my blood boil for a reason i can’t quite understand
