I can’t believe how much fucking merchandise there is for such a small show. Compare it to even something like futurama in terms of cultural impact and there’s so much more plastic shit made for Rick and Morty
Rick and morty is not a small show by almost any metric. Funko pops also became popular right around the same time and have a massive overlap in fans, so it makes sense. Futurama was not out at the same time for the most part but there is still about a dozen funko pops from it.
Funko can just make tons of unique models really cheaply, and they know fans will buy them to collect like beanie babies, so of course they’ll keep churning out different versions of the same characters of one of the most popular nerd cartoons that their own fans love.
it’s a small show by literally any metric.
The Circle posted about triple the viewership numbers. would you consider the circle a big show?
Ah yes, do compare a reality show to a fiction cartoon. I’m sure Top Chef has such a greater impact culturally than Breaking Bad
Breaking bad pulled in more than 10x the viewers of top chef on a regular basis.
Wasnt Roiland actually cleared by the court?
doesn’t matter, these"judges" already convicted him. Forget due process. Getting accused publicly == being guilty forever on social media.
It’s also important to remember that this is how most abuse cases work out. There is almost never enough evidence because it is almost impossible to proof beyond reasonable doubt. It’s incredibly rare that someone gets convicted in an abuse case, no matter if they actually committed abuse or not. The victim has to basically stand in court with the gunk and fingerprints of the perpetrator still on them and video material that shows it wasn’t self-defense from the other side, for any conviction to actually happen.
So we should be satisfied ruining people’s lives based on accusations alone?
That’s what you take from it? No, I think there should be no reports or articles or mentions on any cases that have not yet been decided upon by a court. A private’s persons life is not ruined by an accusation because it almost never leads to a conviction, regardless of whether they are guilty or not.
Sorry, I thought you were saying in subtext that we should only judge based on accusations since evidence is hard to get for abuse cases. My bad!
No, I am really not that good in English. I often realise people understand it slightly different than what I meant. But I can’t do anything about it lol
Yes, but: a lot of other pretty unwholesome stuff came out about him during the process and his contract has a clause in it that allows him to be terminated on that basis; it’s actually pretty common for people in his kind of position to have contracts like that.
Got a lonk? Curious to see what other stuff came out.
in any case it’s nothing that anyone dared to show any judge.
so for all intents and purposes, bullshit
I am cringing so hard @ ‘smartoon’ rn…
I want it to be satirical but then I remember that someone somewhere unironically believes there is something called a “manosphere”.
what the hell is a… nvm I don’t even want to know
It’s everything from redpill misogynists to people who just support men’s rights and saying we should should direct resources to prevent male suicides is the exact same thing as saying women are property and deserve no rights or autonomy and there is no middle ground.
It is important to understand what people are saying about this because when you hear someone say something that seems reasonable and correct but suddenly they show their extremist stance but then you dismiss that part because you don’t realize what they are saying.
This is how all extremist groups get people on their side from Isis to Jordan Peterson to far right politics.
