Look the point is. This isn’t the first or second time Rick and Morty mentions Rape or Sex. We always look to King Jellybean as the face of Rick and Morty towards rape and its not the only example this show has given us.

We are given relatable characters like Summer’s boyfriend Ethan and he wasn’t some one dimensional boyfriend character. He had a reason why he was so upset and he was letting us fustrations out on Summer. Not that it was okay but at least we can see where he is coming from.

When Morty had to deal with what happened in Meeseeks and Destroy, Rick put two and two together and knew that Morty was hurt. He even shot King Jellybean dead, not that we know if Morty knew that or not.

When Jerry was nearly raped by Lucy, Beth came to stop her and the story in a way punished her for her actions via ran over the car because of her attempt to stalk.

Even when rape was kinda used as a joke like dropping the giant soap or the pirates of the pancreas. They were usually off handed and didn’t promote rape at all.

There are plenty of other examples in the (Keep Reading) but the point is that for the most part Rick and Morty walk the path that most shows don’t. They don’t try to sugar coat reality but they don’t support these kinds of actions… at least when they present the subject matter in a serious light. Sure, the show will make an off hand joke or a visual gag here and there but they are usually careful with how they present these things. 

And in the end, its how us the viewers see the show and how we interpret it.
