The episode was really enjoyable until they introduced the idea that morty was sexually assaulted in the bathroom. Why include that? Why depict that as something that a 12 year old boy might be exposed to? There are probably kids who have encountered situations like that and being forced to relive it is not artful, it's not poignant, it's really harmful to viewers who were not expecting a revival of emotions they may have stemming from a loved experience. This really sours my take on the series. While the event wasn't treated in a light hearted way, there's no reason for a viewer to have to worry that something like this would come up in such a visceral way.
I suppose I'll keep watching but this was beyond upsetting. I don't know why this episode is rated so highly, the depiction of a pubescent person being sexually assaulted is never something I could brush under the rug.
