Is there even still any Rick and morty fans left in the wild? After the whole case against one of the voice actors I never see them around too much anymore.

I like Rick and Morty, but I have enough self awareness to know that Rick is not a role model.

My kid wanted to watch it together, and I was like, that's fine as long as you let me tell you that Rick isn't always right and he's not the hero.

Yeah, it's funny because of how terrible everyone is. I'm laughing because it's outrageous, not because the characters are going through relatable hijinks.

Justin Roiland wasn't just the voice actor for Rick, Morty, and various other roles, he was the co-creator, writer, and executive producer of the show alongside Dan Harmon. The whole thing is very much Roiland's baby, and even after it came out that he's an abuser and predator and the show fired him it continues to be his celebrated legacy.

Fuck that guy and his stupid show.

Roiland is a co-creator, but it is very obvious that Dan Harmon took over the show for the better.

Hell, the takeover happened while Roiland was still voicing Rick, so it isn't like something important was lost after Roiland was fired.
