I don't know how I'd ever be exposed to a fandom of anything unless I actively sought it out.

How come tv shows, cartoons, video games and YouTubers get weird and awful fanbases but no one ever holds a famous author hostage in their home until they write a book to revive their favorite character that the author killed off?
That's because The Wire really is that good.
Rick & Morty
You forgot Sonic and Undertale

It's a running joke from the rest of the thread. Here, I'll go next.
How come cartoons, TV shows, and video games get terrible and weird fanbases but college sports are ok?
I mean you're not the problem.Didn't realize there was so much wankery over the show. I just started binge watching it and was surprised by how, well, "smart" it was so I kept watching it. I mean it's not really the jokes that get me but rather the surprisingly thoughtful character interaction that serves as the basis for much of the humor. It's fun to have a show make light of very serious mental health issues but also have the presence of mind to lighten things up with juvenile humor to get my mind off shit.
I guess I'm part of the problem, but I didn't realize there were other ass hats like me out there wanking over it the same way. ¯_(ツ_/¯ I should probably spend more time on the internet.
The type and nature of the show being clever and chalk full of pop culture references means it will always attract the subset of "red pilled" basement dwellers whose lives are so pathetic they need a cartoon to cling onto to feel superior over another person.
People who identify with Rick and view him as a hero don't understand that he's an irredeemable sack of shit who occasionally has moments of clarity. Or they do understand that, which is even worse. He's a good character, but he's not a good person.
There's similarities with BoJack, but that character genuinely wants to be a better person, and you feel for him. He just keeps failing at it. In the worst ways. Rick, on the other hand, has given up on ever being a good person.
Yup. There's the people who like it for the biting deconstruction of the 21st century American family, and then there's the people who like it for "Get Schwifty".
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Everything I love would be awesome if it weren't for all these other different people from me who also love it.
Weird. The pop culture references are fun but they're frequently just a setup for the more interesting elements of the show. I'm actually kind of surprised that that aspect is actually the main pull for anyone. Huh.
hahahaha
i think that crowd is more into the extreme violence and transgressive humor while failing to see the real point of either

Speaking of insufferable...when will people stop using asinine abbreviations for everything? Does it really take that much effort to write out the full title? I have no fucking clue what you're referring to here.
Edit: now that I've figured it out, was it really that much easier than just writing My Little Pony?
2007 was a dark year
i wish there was a way to find all the rick & morty fans at this party...
lol

Chappelle's Show's fanbase was why Chappelle quit Chappelle's Show.

Not even close because of all the racist assholes that laugh at Chappelle instead of with him

So far my personal record is 9 days without someone telling me how much I need to watch the show. I tell them I have, but just didnt like it. Inevitably the conversation then moves to how i must not get it, or have no watched enough episodes.
flash forward a few days then repeat the conversation with the next person who has little more to offer in the way of conversation other than what they watch on their tv and repeat.

Where do people keep running into these toxic fans? I love the show and the only interactions I've been a apart of, or encountered, are recommending the show or discussing episodes.
A similar thing happened with Undertale. Everyone says the fandom was awful, but all I saw were a bunch of fun remixes of the music. Guess I'm good at avoiding those neighborhoods.

Hell, the show itself is starting to get a bit high off it's own supply. This season has had way more episodes straight up celebrating Rick's depravity compared to the much more critical lens he'd be viewed under in earlier seasons.
A lot of times, they either are or have the same issues as anime fans, cosplayers, pony fans, Steven universe, videogames, etc. It becomes their identity rather than a fandom. No different than sport teams fans, but the online presence is greater for those.
judging by your avatar, you like the show, so no fans talk down to you for not getting it

CGP Grey nailed it in his lates q&a video how tribalism serves as a base for both the best (advanced cooperation and civilization) and the worst (toxicity towards other groups) aspects of humanity.
