I FUCKING KNEW IT!
Excuse my autism, but holy fuck these guys are smart. Harmon is fanning this "female writer vs male writer" shit on purpose to either garner popularity for the season through controversy, justify their phoned in writing through scapegoating, or to just have a giggle at the fighting. Think about it, they know the whole "women aren't funny" thing is believable, they know full well about the "anti-SJW behavior" they're sub-reddit partakes in (I don't think they give much of a shit about /co/), and they know that same sub-reddit will shit their pants at the any and all "feminazi" rhetoric in their show, so it makes total sense that they would use it to their advantage, whatever that advantage may be.
What I think went on is that they posted that thing about them hiring new female writers and that picture of the male and female writers eating some faggy meal either intentionally or non, but saw the backlash from cynics who presumed the worst (for good reason desu), and decided to use that to, again, either jumpstart some buzz, or to have a giggle, by making it abundantly clear what episodes were written by females, and what weren't.
Think, why would Rick be so fucking emotional this season? Harmon and Roiland aren't complete dumbasses, they knew it felt out of character, just listen to Rick's delivery in Pickle Rick. It sounds like, at times, even Roiland knows how fucking stupid they actually sound. They must've knew the therapist scene was out of place and was damn near sterotypical of what you'd expect from female writers. And to have that very same therapist look like the writer? Do we know if Harmon and Roiland commented or referenced the whole Jared thing?
Again, autistic ramblings, but if my hypothesis is true, then this might be the greatest 'fuck with the fans' moment an Adult Swim's show has ever pulled off. Season still sucks though,I'll just wait for the reveal.
