Kanye West. Rick and Morty. Kill Me Now.

Look, I know Kanye West just had an album come out. I didn't listen to it. I don't care. Kanye's early stuff was good and interesting, but I got tired of his stuff a while ago. Now it's clear he's just a total fucking maniac and an asshole. I'm completely fed up with his bullshit, and I have no interest in indulging him. I've heard ye isn't even all that good, on top of everything else, so I regret nothing. I will never listen to ye, or anything else Kanye puts out. He's a tedious figure in pop culture.

You know what else is kind of tedious? Rick and Morty. Now, that's not so much about the show. I don't watch it, because I don't like the voicework or the animation style, but I still experience the fallout from it in the world. Unfortunately, there are a lot of Rick and Morty fans who are total jackasses about it. They are all dudes, naturally, and there is certainly a strain of misogyny in their fandom. Also, they freaked out when McDonald's ran out of Szechuan sauce, even though all those dipshits hadn't thought of that sauce once until the show brought it up.

I have recently found out Kanye is a Rick and Morty fan. This surprises me zero percent. He is exactly the kind of tedious egomaniac who would vibe with that show (again, this is more about people putting their own shit on Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's creation). For his birthday, Kim Kardashian got the folks over at Rick and Morty to wish her husband a happy birthday. Like, the characters of Rick and Morty, in all their animated glory, wish him a happy birthday.

I haven't watched this. I couldn't give less of a shit. This is the perfect intersection of tedium. I just needed to vent about this happening, because otherwise I'd roll my eyes so deeply they might roll right out of my head. Don't worry, there is still cool stuff happening out there in music. Check out the new Snail Mail album or something. We'll get through this together.
