| | |This adult animated series, whose titular characters were based on respective ludicrous caricatures of Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown and Marty McFly from the mostly conservative film ''Back to the Future'' (but soon grew into their own characters), is popular among liberals and atheist, Reddit-registered techno-libertarians alike for trying to pass a dysfunctional, atheistic family with a vulgar, drug-addicted, pansexual, [[alcoholism|alcoholic]] grandfather (Rick) as humorous. Worse yet, the series' volatile, fanatical fanbase is widely known for stirring up such controversies as rampaging en masse through various [[McDonald's]] restaurants in search of Szechuan sauce as if to imitate an example of Rick's unruly, disorderly behavior, which prompted several calls to local police departments, wasting tax payer monies: he seeks to claim the sauce in the episode "The Rickshank Redemption" by traveling back to 1998 when Disney released its [[China]]-set animated feature ''[[Mulan]]'' and McDonald's sold packets of Szechuan sauce with regular purchases as a cross-promotion of the film. Many of the science fiction elements of the show seem to contradict portions of Christian cosmology, such as interdimensional travel, allowing sinners to avoid the logical consequences of their actions. The institutions of marriage and pregnancy are not given the sacred coverage they deserve either. One episode involving time and interdimensional travel shows Morty as a 40 y. o. but looking much more older and much worse than a normal 40 y. o. and is called middle-aged, still too young to be in that age category, and this is weird considering that even Rick, who is 70 y. o. and alcoholic, is more better looking than adult Morty here, so [[ageism]] isn't missing in this series either. | | |This adult animated series, whose titular characters were based on respective ludicrous caricatures of Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown and Marty McFly from the mostly conservative film ''Back to the Future'' (but soon grew into their own characters), is popular among liberals and atheist, Reddit-registered techno-libertarians alike for trying to pass a dysfunctional, atheistic family with a vulgar, drug-addicted, pansexual, [[alcoholism|alcoholic]] grandfather (Rick) as humorous.

| | + | In another episode, Morty dates a woman in her late twenties called Jacqueline, and this latter finds Morty "irresistible". Since Jacqueline dated Morty, a barely 14 y. o. boy, which she is clearly attracted to, she can be considered a pedophile or a child sex offender/predator, and everyone in the episode finds it normal or ignores it, thus sending the wrong, confusing and amoral message that female pedophiles are normal and should be celebrated and encouraged and treated differently. |
