That is 100% the case. You gotta keep your irl and your goon separated before you accidentally start telling your coworkers to killl themselves thinking itll come off as somewhat funny and lighthearted

Remember when there were only like 4 goons in TVIV who were all "there's this new pony show and it's surprisingly good" and there was also like 3 dudes who were like "hey watch me play a vidja game". SA's final gifts to the internet were letsplays and bronies. Please goons, don't create another tedious monster.

Rick and Morty is actually pretty good, but I can totally understand you never watching it because I have a similar rule and only started watching it by accident

I know it's crazy but some people find it fun to discuss and investigate dumb poo poo like the nature of a character even when it's probably just a dumb one off joke character literally named Mr. Poopybutthole. It's even less dumb because Justin Roiland is crazy enough to take Mr. Poopybutthole and run with it and Dan Harmon would absolutely enable the creation of a detailed Mr. Poopybutthole Canon. Probably not but the point is some people especially goons like to explore dumb poo poo and extract, infer, and take everything to its logical conclusion and run it the gently caress into the ground and if they wanna do that fine, you don't have to, and shouldnt, involve yourself in those conversations.

A misanthrope posted:have the goons weighed in on what it's ok to like yet? I would like to answer this question. If you try to wear a cartoon t-shirt in hopes of connecting with people, or just use pop culture to bond with strangers in general, then you should probably stop watching television and get a personality.
