Too Close To Reality: Cartoon Mass Shooting .vs. Politcal Fueled Mass Murder
28 November 2022
Rick And Morty is not afraid to blow up, gun down, Slice & Dice Humans, Non-Humans, Robots, Clones, and so on. Viewers have seen Mortiplicity where viewers watch family after family killed in some gory way - or was it a clone?

To be a long-time viewer, viewers have to tacitly accept such things.

By 2022, politicians have blocked regulating guns like AR-15's, Guns are "Open Carried" In public, Children can buy AR-15's at 18-years of age.

2015 was before some of the most publicized mass School Shootings with mostly kids murdering children. Children Trapped in classrooms. Children in Closed Coffin funerals.

Here, the family is gunning down Parasites trapped in the house. It is an alien invasion. Like Covid, nothing should take over the planet. Take the safety off.

Still, the mind CAN see children. (or Gay Night Club Patrons) or possibly would could have happen January 6, 2020. Screaming inanimate parasite disguised as imaginative things. Is this how children behaved when a gunman chased them about their school classroom, hallway?

Children watch this pretty much adult cartoon. Condom Company has been a sponsor. Do children see a cartoon? Metaphor for children/adult victims? The pleasure The Family gets in 'justified' killing?

This is just a cartoon.

Still, if the mind recalls the hundreds of mass shootings, AR-15's, it is not hard to feel for families who can imagine how generically it looked.

This episode is not for everybody.

If this episode were never made, Rick & Morty would not lose a fan. Every time this is shown, you can count on it alienating a victim or surviving familiy.
