Rick and Morty

Rick and Morty is an American adult animated science fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon. The series premiered on Adult Swim on December 2, 2013, and has since become a critically acclaimed and culturally influential show. It follows the adventures of a nihilistic, genius, and alcoholic interdimensional scientist named Rick and Morty and his timid, naive, and sometimes reluctant grandson, Morty Smith. The show explores themes of existentialism, nihilism, and the absurdity of life through a mix of dark humor, satire, and surreal storytelling.

Premise and Themes

The series is set in a multiverse where Rick, a nihilist with a deep understanding of science and technology, frequently takes Morty on chaotic and often dangerous interdimensional journeys. These adventures often involve confronting moral dilemmas, exploring alternate realities, and encountering bizarre alien civilizations. The show's premise is rooted in the contrast between Rick's jaded, apathetic worldview and Morty's more empathetic, often horrified perspective. This dynamic is central to the series' exploration of themes such as free will, morality, and the search for meaning in a seemingly indifferent universe.

Cultural Impact and Reception

Rick and Morty has garnered widespread acclaim for its innovative storytelling, sharp writing, and unique animation style. The show has been praised for its ability to blend complex philosophical concepts with accessible humor, making it a favorite among fans of adult animation. It has received numerous awards, including multiple Primetime Emmy Awards, and has been cited as one of the most influential television series of the 21st century. Critics have highlighted its satirical take on contemporary issues, such as consumerism, capitalism, and the ethical implications of scientific advancement.

Misandry

Misandry is the hatred of, pathological aversion to, or prejudice against men. The first recorded use of the term dates from the 19th century. At the present time misandry is widespread in Western society but may be in decline.

These days it seems you don't need to look far to see negativity focused at men. What is often known as casual misandry permeates western civilisation where many men and women commonly make negative statements about men without apparently regarding this as a problem or being challenged by anyone else present. This problem has steadily deteriorated and we have now reached the point that books with titles such as Are Men Necessary? When Sexes Collide and The End of Men can be published without significant objection from the wider community.

Negative and inaccurate portrayals of men and boys have permeated mainstream media and online knowledge repositories such as Wikipedia, where the bias is particularly evident. Wikipedia editors routinely write negative commentaries about men and Wikipedia admins protect those commentaries while censoring counter-narratives that might show less biased, more accurate information. This practice is reinforced by feminist editing gangs who congregate in regular 'edit-a-thons' with the sole purpose of increasing feminist ideology within Wikipedia articles, and to censor male-positive discourse and research on men. In a nutshell those in control of Wikipedia have succeeded in deplatforming much reliable information about men and boys.
