>we’ve all been Rick. But Rick really does have bigger fish to fry than anybody. He understands everything better than us. So you give him the right to be jaded and dismissive and narcissistic and sociopathic.

Rick is literally designed to be the person every pretentious cynical asshole thinks they are. He exists to glamorize toxic anti-social behavior. Harmon backpedaling after the sauce thing blew up in his face isn't going to change this.

A character does not necessarily exist just to either condemn or promote certain behavior. That is a pretty one-dimentional way of looking at storytelling.
