I don’t think he was ever supposed to be considered a role model. Sort of like Tyler from Fight Club.

Tyler durden, Walter white, Rorschach, homelander, Travis bickle, Rick, Saul Goodman, Eren Yeager - people tend to idolize the most toxic characters. Serial killers get fan mail aplenty. Particularly weird when the character is a child, but I’m no longer surprised at what people are capable of pointing their admiration toward.

how comically would you have to miss the point to think rick sanchez is supposed to be a role model

probably less comically than the 2019 joker, which is in turn less than walter white, which -- hold on, what is the clockwork orange guy doing here? do people seriously--
