This episode, "Raising Gazorpazorp", was received with some backlash. Summer and Rick visit Planet Gazorpazorp, a planet run by Amazon-like women. The lazy humor of this episode uses crude stereotypes for both men and women. The highest crime on Planet Gazorpazorp is having bad bangs and women greet each other with the words: "I'm here if you need to talk." Women are portrayed as appearance-obsessed, passive aggressive, emotionally-driven creatures. This only deepens the contrast of the mookiness of Rick, who breaks the female tension with a long fart.
Episode 9 of season 1, "Something Ricked This Way Comes," plays with Summer's gender in a unique way. When she discovers her boss is the Devil, Summer teams up with Rick to defeat him. To do so, they lift weights and work out, becoming extremely muscular. Not many shows would portray a 17-year old girl as strong and physically powerful. It's also a good representation to show Summer working with a man to achieve her goal, rather than relying on him to achieve it for her. However, do we really want women to become as much of a mook as a man, with all of the insensitivity and crudeness that comes along with that? Probably not.
At the beginning of this episode, Summer asks her mom if she is beautiful, and does not receive a positive response. Overcome by her negative body image, Summer takes things into her own hands. At 2:12 in this clip, Morty, Summer, and Beth are all shown having a healthy understanding of body image, though Summer and Beth might be turned inside-out. Perhaps we can thank the addition of female writers for this accurate representation of teenage anxiety and the emotionally healthy resolution.
