That's not really what always happens, Rick and Morty's goop versions were sentient and alive because they had /that much/ toxicity in them, or at least that's how much they consider toxic about themselves, which in an of itself implies that they dislike themselves a lot.
The machine would only be useful if you're aware of your worst parts, but then again they're probably not as bad as you think they are and you would be better off learning to handle them yourself instead of choosing the easier solution, because you never have a clear picture of what exactly is wrong with you and you WILL screw yourself up if you use that machine. I don't even know why it exists in the first place, its chances of working properly with no repercussions are ridiculously slim.

Would I get skinny, stop caring about being fat, or be motivated enough to get skinny?

>>95002873
>Would you use the psychological detox machine?
I don't think there'd be much left of me if I did.

What happened to morty is basically what happened to me when I took this really strong Molly, I became super talkative and confident, no inhibitions, didn't worry what others thought, really happy and excited. I wanted to be like that forever. I could say things I needed to say for months with no problem. But it was only afterwards that I realized that I wouldn't wanna live like that. Yea it has its perks, mainly easy pussy, but as the episode displayed, that is how a sociopath operates. It's just as good to have apprehension and self doubt and insecurity as it is good to have confidence and belief in one's self, etc. It's a Ying yang, a balance, it would be nice to go a night living deep in the Ying but life is about swimming in the pool of yang and Ying, not just getting the best parts, otherwise you would be a huge tool with no reason to be humble or improve yourself.

>>95002992
skinnyfag here. trust me, you don't wanna be skinny.

>>95002982
Agreed, you would think they would be getting complaints all the time, but I guess aliens are just cool with it. It works as a plot catalyst tho and this was just as good as last week's episode

yeah, I'd either be amazing afterward or just content with being mediocre

>>95003068
>with no reason to be humble or improve yourself
You wouldn't need to.

>>95002873
Since the machines just cut off the part of yourself that you personally deem toxic, I think it'd probably be a great thing to do.

I'd say I wouldn't care what happens to the shitty portion of myself, because it would be a concentrated horrible waste of life, but then if I was dextoxed, I'd probably care about what happens to them. So maybe not morally good, but fuck it, I'd do it.

>>95003108
Yea because you would be content being an obnoxious douchebag, I personally don't wanna be that person, watching morty on that date made me really uncomfortable because of how familiar it was

>>95002873
>and doom another version of yourself to what is essentially a life in hell?
I wouldnt. Like toxic rick said, their toxic versions were so bad they mistakenly took on an entire entity, most people just let out regular gunk.

So no one cared about Rick and Morty getting vored in this episode?

>>95003072
Fatfag who use to be skinny here. Skinny is better, trust me.

>>95002873
Wouldn't work on me. I value my personality and mental state too highly. Fact is I am an arrogant, conceited bastard and I say that with all the pride you'd use to describe your best quality. I am not perfect but I fucking love being me. The only things I am remotely dissatisfied with in regards to myself are purely external, because the world refuses to conform to me alone.

>>95003210
Grossly skinny is just as bad, if not worse, than grossly fat. At least really fat people can be comfy and cuddly and would easily put on muscle, skinny Fags gotta start from square 0 in terms of physicality and look ill

>>95003210
I wish I was fat. Fat can be built into muscle, but when you're skinny, everything tires you, you work out and nothing happens, you're never hungry, you're always hunched, you have no presence.

>>95003265
yeah, what this anon said. Especially the square 0 in terms of physicality.

>>95003253
I wonder what would happen if someone like you went through it. the parts of yourself you think of as toxic are probably the only good parts, you'd be a complete monster afterward

I guess that is the point though

>>95002873
Getting rid of my insecurities, depressive bouts and violent fantasies? Well fuck that other guy, I hate him.

>>95003253
The fact that you're willing to admit that you're an "arrogant, conceited bastard" makes me think that there's something in you that considers your arrogance a bad quality. Am i wrong?

>>95003312
that'd be some dr Jekyll and mr Hyde type of shit

>>95002982
>You shouldn't use modern technology because I don't think it will work
You sound like a religious fundamentalist. You're wrong.

>>95002936
Would you though? Or would you be the the toxin? Remember that Toxic Rick thought that he was the regular one. So at the moment of detoxification you get a 50/50 chance of being on the good side

>>95003312
I legit don't think any part of me is toxic though, anon. That said, I do have some less than healthy predilections, but I like having those. They have only ever provided me with private enjoyment. If that machine took anything you can bet I'd want it back. I can't even think of any particularly embarrassing memories I'd want to straight up lose because that's shit I know not to do again.

Is it so hard to believe there are real people like that out there?

>>95003356
You faggot were in the other threads about it as well, I remember you. You're still wrong, let me quote myself
>you never have a clear picture of what exactly is wrong with you
do you have the reading comprehension to understand what this means? I bet not, so let me explain. No human is capable of analyzing themselves in a way that clearly distinguishes between their good and bad parts without some sort of bias. There is basically no possibility that the machine will work as intended, you WILL end up losing parts of yourself that were actually not bad at all, like Rick lost his emotional attachment to Morty.
This is why psychologists and the like exist, because we can't psychoanalyze ourselves in a way that would let the machine do its intended job.

>>95003348
Yeah I have lots of qualities that in general, according to social norms would be considered bad. Doesn't mean they can't be useful or even enjoyable. You just have to be a little selfish and shameless. I consider that freeing, not constantly second guessing me for being me.

>>95003429
>Is it so hard to believe there are real people like that out there?
Assholes made of pure toxin, you mean? Of course.

>>95003411
You don't get to be on any side, you are literally slit apart

>>95003467
You sound like an actual sociopath

>>95003507
Well if I were a supervillain Toxin might be a cool name. Wasn't there a Spiderman symbiote called Toxin? Also, not sure if I buy this notion that good people can't be self satisfied. Not saying I'm a paragon of virtue myself, but does one really need to hate themselves to some degree in order to be a nice, well adjusted individual? That's a pitiful thought.

>>95003573
I couldn't tell you, never been diagnosed, never needed to be. So high functioning if anything. I'm certainly very far from sappy.

>>95002873
>Would you use the psychological detox machine?
With two stipulations:
-A fresh containment unit so toxic me is kept safe and not surrounded by monsters.
-The option to undo the process.

>>95003691
Sociopath don't usually get diagnosed because they look like normal people except the fact that they lack empathy and have narcissistic traits, "high functioning" wouldn't really apply here since they're not retarded, they're actually usually smarter than average.

>>95003779
I thought it was a spectrum or whatever, like having the auts. People on the high end are Crocubot tier unfeeling unflinching predators. Or so I've heard. Maybe I'm getting them mixed up with psychopaths.

And doesn't a narcissist crave validation and attention? I thought sociopaths were dulled to that social craving, while a narcissist is acutely affected.

This is interesting. So what would happen if a stone cold psychopath went through? What would their definition of personal character flaw be?

>>95002873
I'd have zero guilt for basically anything I do, but my spitefulness, jealousy, and seething rage for my peers would be gone so I guess it kinda evens out.

Yes.

The better part of me would end up in the toxic world. Anything I have ever done right came from a place of insecurity and dislike of people around me.

>>95003927
sociopaths and psychopaths have had the same definition for years

I think I wouldn't be.myself anymore without my salt

>>95003927
They do crave that, kind of, but mainly they're self-absorbed and self-centered, which, when paired with a lack of empathy, results in the person frequently abusing the people around them for their own gain and feeling no remorse.
Sociopaths are able liars and schemers, they can pretend to feel x emotion if that'll give them something they want.
They also have a high self-image so if one of them entered the machine it probably wouldn't do much to them, probably wouldn't even alter them whatsoever.

>>95002873
I want to say yes, but I can't help but question the moral implications of doing so. If I create two versions of me, one possesing all of my positive qualities and one whom posses all of my deplorabe attributes, I would be creating a person who would be completely unlikeable. The toxic people are self aware and would, ostensibly, have to live out their own lives once separated from their other half and his life would prbably be shit. I don't think it would be right for me to subject it to that kind of suffering just because I want to be chad.

I imagine I would but I want to have the toxic me around. He'd be very self indulgent, dishonest, and probably murderous.

I just want to see how my politics change. Would he become a fascist? Would I be an centrist? How would my opinion on the death penalty change?

>>95003779
They are normal in intelligence. Prison is full of them. They get the reputation for being high in intelligence because no one fetishes criminals enough to sort them into sane and insane but they will with CEOs and world leaders.

Having no empathy can really help in positions where you have to make hard decisions involving other people so they can be very successful. They still would have been CEOs with our without an opathy.

>>95003927
Impulse control is the biggest issue with socio/psychopaths, and is what leads to violent outbursts, gambling/sex/drug addictions, etc. If anything were removed, it'd be that, instantly promoting them to high functioning super psychos

>>95004019
Okay, good to know. I've used the terms interchangeably in the past, so its nice to have confirmation I didn't sound like a dumbass. About that, at least.

>>95004074
As long as they don't get off to stabbing puppies sounds like a sociopath could be in an okay place mentally then. I would hate to hate myself and want part of me to disappear, sounds like a horrible feeling I'd try to get away from asap.

>>95002873
Don't think so, most of me are negative emotions and i'm not even joking. I feel empty most of the time so i have to fake emotions in most of my social life experiences

>>95002873
It might be that I'd end up like Healthy Morty, motivated entirely by simple career decisions rather than depressive misanthropy.

>>95003253
And yet here you are on a chinese cartoon forum.

>>95002873
If removing a person's core existence is considered killing them, then yes.
I would love to commit suicide.

>>95004318
Of course, its fun anon. I claim only to be happy not super cool impressive amazing. Shit, that sounds like way too much effort.

>>95003756
someone gets it

>>95004391
Toxic him would still be trapped in an empty wasteland. The best solution would be to keep the pod like a fish tank and drop in toys and food to keep toxic you content and fed. Like a screwy pet/prisoner situation.

>>95004435
Just kill it.

>>95004435
toxic you can't be content, that's why it's toxic.

>>95002971
This

>>95004435
I mean the best solution would be to actually better yourself trough normal means, but if were talking about getting detoxified by a fantasy machine I'd gladly try, but keep the option to come back to my old self. Besides all that goop.and monsters in the tanks are probably toxic traits, so who is to say my bad parts would manifest as a sentient person?

>>95004435
toxic me would immediately commit suicide, regardless of whether or not he's in goo hell.
i wouldn't need to feel guilty.

If I did a detox I'd probably wind up sending my entire being to that other dimension because I'm shit and I hate myself

>>95002873
>Also, would you consider it moral to split your consciousness and doom another version of yourself to what is essentially a life in hell?
I took it as that just applying to Rick and Morty because they have so many traits they consider toxic that they achieved sentience.

>>95004340
Yikes. Think of rainbows or ice cream or whatever white knights say in these situations sorry I'm real bad at this.

>>95002873
But if I lose everything I hate about myself, what if there's nothing left?

>>95003540
yeah, but would the "you" that is you right now end up as the toxin or the pure? Or would the "you" as you know it disappear?

>>95002873
Thats basicly what the concept of hell dictats anyway. However I believe in a metaphysical "toxicity", only in actual toxins, such as lead. However if we just expanded this to negative qualities, sure I'll remove my laziness, and like. And the other version can just end himself.

>>95002873
If I use the detox machine, are there any chances of it coming back since I wouldn't exactly be fixing whatever caused my toxic behavior?

>>95006320
The latter. The original you is effectively dead, split into two different exaggerated caricatures.

>>95006593
Maybe. They didn't go into that much detail about it. Its just silly science magic after all. But it would seem that whatever you were doing that you consider bad you wouldn't be doing anymore.

Why does everyone keep repeating this lie that the machine worked based on the subject's own personal opinion about what was toxic? That doesn't even make sense considering the toxic people were green and looked like melting candles, showing you clearly that they were objectively toxic, not just subjectively compiled traits.
I'm downloading and re-watching the whole episode now to make extra-sure they never mention anything about this head canon subjectivity bullshit, and when I'm done I'll come back and complain more because this idea is retarded.

>>95006746
... The whole fucking episode was resolved through the revelation that their toxicity was what they considered toxic about themselves.
Jesus christ.

>>95006746
Rick says so, right after Morty slaps him, toxicity is relative

>>95002873
I would...

But the ability to stand up for myself and be assertive around assholes is something that I see negatively, unlike most people.

I always got into trouble when I reacted to bullies in any way besides ignoring them and telling the teacher. My mom would freak out at me for using swear words when I got harassed at school, much less pushing someone for being mean like when I was a kid, and my dad is a "pacifist" (quotations because he had no problem hitting me, my sister or my mom when he had a tantrum, even after they divorced). As a result, I feel like a jerk if I even forget to say "thank you" to the cashier at the supermarket. It's taken me a long time to unlearn this kind of thinking and get tough when others are tough with me.

However, it only makes it worse when I have to be assertive or stand up for myself at home, in public or at work (security guard with truck driver co-workers), there's a part of me deep down that feels guilty or tells me that I'm the asshole, even when I'm completely justified or just doing my job.

Basically, I see my toughness as a toxic trait, when it really isn't. Without it, I'd go back to being that spineless quiet guy who can't stand up for himself.

>>95006772
>>95006784
Yeah, you're right. It was the writers who were retarded. Why were they green and melting if they weren't objectively toxic?

Good bye bad things keeping me down. Getting rid of my anxiety and the psychosis linked with it would be grand.

>>95003411
You would actually be both. There is no 50/50 chance of being on the good side, you will always end up on the good side and you'll always end up on the bad side, if you split.

>>95006977
Because the machine treats them as toxic and manifests them as weird booger people because of it? Do you think there's some weird green slime in Rick's head making him irrational?

>>95006746
There is no "objectively" toxic personality you nitwit
>But they was greeeen
You're a fucking moron. You should complain about that then neck yourself.

>>95006977
You're reading too deep into this, that's just the cartoony way they chose to represent the alternate version, how else were they supposed to convey it?

>>95007052
It'd make more sense that there was negative behavior causing green pus-like toxicity inside them that got pulled out vs. the machine pulling out completely non-physical behavioral tendencies and turning them into green pus-like bodies after the fact. There's a shit ton of off color pus-like crap in your body in real life and it's plausible some of it could be causing mild inflammation to the brain that causes you engage in maladaptive behaviors.

>>95007157
They were supposed to convey it the way they did but not make it subjectively based on each person's own definition of toxicity.

Yes, because I don't fucking partition half my psyche off as "toxic." A psychological detox machine is just supposed to remove the grimy little knots of hesitation, flotsam, and clutter that dirty up the mind (see the chakra guru from ATLA). Rick and Morty are just self-pitying narcissists who think that there is a "perfect self" that's being held back by some self-destructing self and so generate it, dragging half of themselves along with it.

>>95007230
Well you're wrong.

>>95007202
>pulling out completely non-physical behavioral tendencies and turning them into green pus-like bodies after the fact.

Absolutely, I could get a fulfilling life going. I'd also kill Toxic me because that's all he'd want, just a never ending begging of "killmekillmekillmekillme" That and bouts of pure paranoid anxiety. It would be best for both of us.

>>95007230

>>95002873

>>95006746
>>95006784
My problem with the whole thing is that Rick is like "there's no possible way for the machine to know what's objectively toxic"

It's a wacky sci-fi alien macguffin. I'm pretty sure it can do whatever the hell it wants, Rick.

>>95007247
>Rick and Morty are just self-pitying narcissists who think that there is a "perfect self" that's being held back by some self-destructing self and so generate it, dragging half of themselves along with it.

Considering we only saw non-sentient slime monsters you might be on to something.

>>95007595
We saw slime monsters, didn't we?

What the fuck are you people doing? Are you seriously analyzing the psychology behind Rick and fucking Morty?

>>95007665
Yeah, but nothing that was a coherent, intelligent being like the Rick and Morty toxins. Just a bunch of decaying, animistic monsters of people who didn't like their baser instincts.

>>95007697
That's still something alive, it probably equals to how much toxicity was removed, the more the machine removes, the more what appears on the other side is sentient and resembling of the real counterpart. The new mortys they added in the game afterwards kind of gave me that idea.

Yeah, when I watched it the first time it cut out at that part so I didn't even believe when others were posting about it later that they actually said something like that in the episode. There are definitely ways a machine could know what's objectively toxic. It would be infinitely easier to objectively identify and extract toxicity than it would be to come up with a way to read the person's mind, extract out their own "personal definition of toxicity," and then somehow act on it.
Psychiatric conditions are correlated with autoimmune diseases and there are a number of autoimmune diseases that respond well to broad spectrum antibiotic treatment in a way that no one knows the specific explanation for yet, so it's not much of a stretch to suppose there's bacterial gunk in the body that an alien machine could extra out to relieve mild brain inflammation and make you feel and act less "toxic."
>>95007452
That part wasn't a very good twist. The real twist they kind of started going with and should've just went all the way with was having the Morty and Rick personality traits most recognizable by the viewers as most characteristic of them end up in the objectively toxic extracted bodies and spending the rest of the episode following how they're dying in the real life Hell of that toxic waste vat with occasional cuts over to the healthy Rick and Morty showing them acting completely out of character and being oblivious to what was happening to their toxic selves. You'd have to come up with a way to randomly restore the status quo at the end, but that wouldn't be any more difficult than how they had to explain away their entire universe turning into a mutant wasteland in that other episode with the Morty rape virus. Like maybe they start to argue again and Rick mentions it only takes a week before you build up new toxins.

There's not enough about me that's toxic to be sentient, so yeah, I'd do it.

My goop would just become a part of the landscape.

>>95002873

Yes and yes.

>>95002873

Yes, and yes, considering nothing in there was Sentient except for Rick and Morty's toxins since they had "Abandon universe to horrible monster death" levels of toxicity in them.

I haven't even killed anyone yet, so I have nowhere near the level of Toxicity in me to form a Toxin-Person.

The "yet" part is a joke, NSA/FBI/CIA. I promise, I'm not planning the death of anyone.

>>95002873
absolutely, yes.

Nah, I have 4 different mental disorders and so I'd question if it'd try to suck em out of me and possibly kill me as a result.

>>95002873
Certainly. I don't really think of much of myself as being toxic, other than my laziness, and that can fuck off and die in toxic purgatory forever.

That's what is killing me this season is the Deus EX shit and cop-outs are at an all time high. There was at least some wit to how things would get resolved in season one and two that had more going on. But this season? It not only demands that the cast has to act out of character but it demands that the world/setting degrade as well. Would it have been so hard to have Rick just relies that codependency is toxic and he uses that as his ace to get them merging and have him explain that the mistake he made was getting into a quick fix for his problems which only made things worse and he needs that toxicity back to overcome it the healthy way rather than emotional liposuction?

>>95007591
>>95007591
It's almost as if it's nothing more than a plot device within a shallow self contained narrative that, for the sake of said narrative, works exactly how the writers say it does. They present this as a theory to the audience using their fictional genius as a mouthpiece. A theory the character then uses as a gambit during the climactic scene that ultimately proves the theory right, once and for all confirming that: Yes! that is exactly how the thing works!

The show wasn't meant to be taken seriously all the time. They made fun of this shit back in Rickshank with the sauce and Morty's speech to the council. Y'all got tricked by a couple of episode twists and characters getting sad and think this show is way more than it is, and then you get mad when it doesn't take itself as seriously as you want it to. What next, you gonna deconstruct and look for meaningful lessons in Interdimensional Cable 3? Stop it. Most episodes are shallow as fuck, this is not a deep show.

>>95016736
Way to miss the point by a mile. If you thought >>95016643 solution was meaningful or deconstruction then you just projected your own stupidity on this and just reaffirm they are writing for the FG crowd now.

>The show wasn't meant to be taken seriously all the time.
are we reading the same posts? It's not anyone wanting it to be "meaningful" it's people wanting the same consistency and attention to detail the first season had.

>>95002873
If I were to get in that machine, nothing would be there when it opens.

>>95016757
Deus Ex outta character whatever. Shit made as much sense as anything Rick pulled out of his ass in S1. The formula is easy to follow if you're not constantly expecting it to be something it's not. You wanna keep setting yourself up for disappointment go right ahead.

>>95016770
Same difference. How is Rick figuring this out any different from his other bullshit plans that happen to work? You're just holding it to a higher standard than you used to. Thats the point.

>>95016840
>You're just holding it to a higher standard than you used to
stable narrative and characters is a "higher standard" to you?

No, fuck that guy.

>>95002873
I used to be a detoxed version of myself almost all my life, but the last few years it all rushed in... so in a way the detox machine would turn me into a younger self again... why not? Gives me plenty of time to reincarnate to the spiteful self I am

Probably, but the possibility of losing what is essentially have been me for the longest time it's hard to imagine what I would be like with all my negative behaviors gone.

>No more cynicism
>No more being an asshole
>No more insecurities about myself and the world around me
>No more being addicted to the wrong foods
>No more being apprehensive in trying new things
>No more fear in changing
>No more existential fear of death and full awareness of how short life is for yourself and those you are close to
>No more shitty overactive libido and using arousal as a high to escape my depression states
>No more feeling like the connections you have made in life are falling apart, trying to hold what is there knowing that with all that has passed and all that is left you desperately try to cling to what is left in preserving memory and keep around long enough in fear of losing it physically and mentally over time.

The truth is how I still stay mentally stable given all that is wrong with me is a surprise to me. There is not a moment that I don't wish I could just wake up and be someone else or just forget the foundation of my troubles.

Don't see why not.

>>95002873
Yes, like Morty, I'm tired of being afraid, constantly having a voice in my head telling me I'm not good enough for anyone, being a lazy shit, getting stuck on things i cannot change, and the feeling of loneliness and paralysis about going out on my own. I guess the question then is if my mind follows my physical body or my booger body.

Was this episode a reference to Nolan's magnum opus?

>>95006746
Jesus Christ how can you be this retarded that you missed the only reason Rick figured out how to win? He fucking said it out loud.

A couple days a go I watched Rick and Morty for the first time and marathon'd it. I didn't notice any big drop off in quality through plots or characters. I think you guys have just seen the show for long enough it lost its edge to you and you're looking to get the magic back.

The only thing that's left for me after the de-tox is being assertive, confident, courageous, studious and having the desire to improve, but without the constant thought of the things I've done and done wrong, how can I improve as a person? I'd be taking risks on anything without ever thinking about it.

>>95003411
They would both be individuals until they were unified again. So they each had their own subjective experience until Rick combined them again, giving "Regular Rick" the memories of both.

>>95004019
What? I thought psychopaths were people who lacked empathy but delighted in other people's suffering, and sociopaths were people who lacked empathy but only sought to actively improve themselves, doing so at the cost of others.

>>95019102
No, that's complete bullshit, where did you get that idea from? Psychopaths and sociopaths are the same thing, it's just that which word you use is based on whether you believe it's an inherent biological thing (psychopathy) or an acquired thing due to a bad environment (sociopathy).

>>95002873
In a heartbeat.

>>95006746
That was the whole premise of the episode retard.

>Grossly skinny is just as bad, if not worse, than grossly fat.
Not if you're a girl. Ana-chans can at least work as models. Also both are quite equal on the absolutely disgusting scale. Girls dont want to hug skeletons and fat people stink.

I'd be a bit hesitant to use it, because most of my toxic personality traits are dominant. Would I become the opposite of what the toxic traits are, or are there other layers to my personality that I don't know about?

>giving the kind of people who give fucking anti-depressants to people having bad break-ups that kind of trust
Psychology in general is fucking worthless until we understand the brain in its totality.

>>95006746
Proving once and for all that even if the episode flat out spells out the plot point, it will still go over someone's head.

>>95002873

How will you ever understand the brain in its entirety if you think that something like psychology is worthless?
