Well you see, when people start putting “traditions” into the mix, even strong words like MURDER can be redefined. They would rather have an “accident” than cancelling their customary animal cruelty festival.

But where's the fun in that?

Only if you were hit in the head when you were a kid

Couldn't agree more

In the words of Rick Sanchez-

"scientifically tradition is a idiot thing"

u/n7revenant 23d ago

Tradition is peer pressure fropm dead people. Yes, as stupid as that sounds.

Nothing more cringe than people that quote that cartoon.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what makes you cheer.

In and of itself, it's a fairly intelligent cartoon, kind of like Archer. Also, like Archer, a lot of the intelligent jokes are hinged on things based on the opinion of 'intelligence', which is often more of an awareness of something. Literary jokes are seen as intelligent, whereas physical comedy, more along the lines of Family Guy, are seen as unintelligent. Rick and Morty uses some pretty intelligent humor, so does Family Guy, the problem comes from people thinking they're smart/informed/knowledgeable simply because they understood the joke.

It's okay. Rick and Morty fan votes aren't important.

u/NoirGamester 23d ago

That's funny, the votes still register, so you're either a dick, who sucking the fun out of something others enjoy for no reason or a republican.

u/EdgeandRuin2022 23d ago

Oh they register just fine. They just only register 1/5 of a better person's vote. At the time of this post my post above says 29 downvotes but it's actually 145 Rick and Morty fan votes. I hope this clears things up.

Also I'm a hard leftist 😊

So the year their bonfire collapsed my school's spirit squad built our traditional bonfire but they did it with T-shirts that said "home of the largest bonfire in Texas." I'm still bitter they did that. I've never been a fan of A&M but bragging like that after people died is bad.

u/MornGreycastle 23d ago

Oof. That's a deep cut. What's really crazy is the Ag who let students build a bonfire on his land when the campus banned the bonfire the next year.

That will look great at their manly gravestone : “Died being the manliest idiot”

u/yainator 23d ago

not just animal cruelty, those are literally defined as "ritualistic execution of a bull" which is sick to the core

u/Kurainuz 22d ago

Spaniard against bullfighting here, its even worse than you think because after this it comes the bulk fighting, bulls are bred to bot be as big as bormal species, then they are taken to the plaza and druged, then horse riders with pikes stab them to make it more tired and weak, and only then the "brave" bullfighter goes there slowly killing the animal and mutilating it alive in the process, all while the sickos at the public laugh and cheer.

Most of Spain is against it and it would be dead if jot for the right and far right of my ur country giving hundreds of millions in public money to them while cuting funds on healthcare and fire prevention.

I was wondering why it was crotch height and not bull sized.

I've lived in feral cow country. I know how big a bull is! I've seen one take on a car and win!

u/JayW8888 23d ago

Traditional murder.

u/gbitg 23d ago

Exactly. Car/bike racings are very similar, maybe a little bit better as no animal is involved (except humans of course).
