You guys wanna get some shawarma?

I never even got through more than a couple seasons and the vitriol made me feel uncomfortable.
Considering the last episode of Rick and Morty had the undertone "Being smart is the worst" you can see how that can appeal to people being led into "OMG I'm smart and I hate bits of my life this speaks to me so hard". Not that I don't enjoy those themes and how they're explored in the show but yeah, the Cake is a Lie comic feels accurate once again. Even if I'm shit at vocalising what that actually means.

The South Park fans are bad, but the Souls fans will always be the absolute bottom of the barrel imo.
That meme at least had the benefit of popularizing shawarma, which is great.
This is good.

I said it already but they are the new Fight Club fans, right down to the violence against women.

For me, it is notable as having the worst subreddit I've ever visited. The only good post is the weekly episode recap.
All sorts of video game ones, tech ones, etc...all fine. But the R&M subreddit is just nothing but memes and copypasta. Just awful.
(Big fan of the show, latecomer, just started it earlier this year).

Where are all these annoying R+M fans? I've never met anyone who had a false sense of superiority because they watch R+M.. is that a thing?
This seems to me like a more universal phenomenon; people are more-often-than-not ingrained in their own identities, so when part of your identity is R+M, you play it up to be more than it is cause it makes you feel better about yourself.

Hella yeah they are
I don't even like LiS that much
tried playing it 3 times
just couldn't
I don't get it
My boring white suburban self took a risk on trying it about 15 years ago, choosing it over my usual 2am Friday night out pizza slice, and it was one of the greatest things I'd ever tasted.
It's almost as if building your identity around pop culture leaves an empty shell of a person.

Cannot watch this show. The asterisks as pupils annoy the shit out of me and i just can't get past it.

The "I hate R&M because of fans" circle jerk has actually reached the point where it's more common for me to encounter that opinion than encounter obnoxious fans.

Really if this thread has taught me anything it's that indie rock is the biggest red-flag for pretension and faux-depth in a work.

Rick and Morty also has had a Too Short song so that confirms its the smartest show on television.
*fleetwood mac plays in the distance*
And that was from as recent as 2010.

As a Sonic fan (with those four words I have opened myself to the gates of hell and mockery) let me tell you the anti-Sonic counterculture is way more obnoxious. I'm able to categorize the furry stuff away just fine and enjoy the games, but like every thread here
"Hey Sonic Mania is a really cool game"
"LOL DEVIANTART MIRITE"
So funny the first time I heard it I fell off my dinosaur.

Arrested Development did like 4x ratings of rick and morty and has a huge cult following
It's got nothing on the moment anything Apple related is whispered.
Chris Chan died for our sins
Sonic Mania is the first exception though. I'm sorry for saying Sonic is bad when Mania exists now, but just imagine when I say "Sonic is bad" I'm not talking about Mania, I'm talking about the rest of the series (save for another few games or so)

R & M appeals to nerds. Nerds are generally know-it-all assholes.
It's strange that we don't see the same character idol worship with AD that we've seen for so many other shows...probably because the characters as so blatantly narcissistic and idiotic.

i love Undertale, but the fandom stuff gets nuts
there's obviously the porn aspect, which every fandom has, but then you have this youtube community thing going apeshit, with uploads happening almost hourly it seems
i never watched any of it, its all weird things like fan dubs and comics/animations/songs and the like, but they get thousands, to hundreds of thousands, to over a million views fairly quickly, so a lot of people must be consuming this stuff every week
reminds me a lot of the early MLP days, but cranked up to eleven

Vice: im going to mirror the opinion of the r&m sub itself. SO EDGY
They probably feel really dumb about WW and IT being in there, right.
Who am I kidding, they probably don't care.

This is exactly where I stand. It's a fun show with good characters but for fucking fucks sake it's a cartoon. You're not special for liking it or "getting it". Holy shit. The fact that this would even need to be explained to an adult is just....christ.
great fucking hot take mate

Nah R&M appeals to a lot of Millenials and even Gen-Xers.
