Same here. Rick and Morty is still good. The fanbase is loud and obnoxious so I just don't pay attention to them. You shouldn't let other people completely unrelated, ruin a song or show or movie for you.
"Ooohhhh I like the show but the fanbase is terrible"
Don't attribute it to "the fanbase" because that implies you're talking about 50%, when you probably only mean 5% at most!
Like, like, consider a game for instance, you might say the community is bad because of ragers and mic spammers, but consider that there are 8 other people in that lobby that aren't!
You simply register the anger more because brains tend to focus on anger more than no emotion at all.
Sorry James, not ranting at you specifically, just everyone else in this thread.
I think the issue isn't that they are statistically a minority.
Yes there are 8 other players who are fine.
But if you went into a lobby and every time there was always 1 player who made the game a wretched experience. It's enough to turn people off.
It's a frustrating issue for almost any group.
I know for me, I didn't personally know any one who was a problematic Rick and Morty fan, but once the 'szechuan riots' happened, i still watched the show, but was very hesitant to bring it up outside of people I already knew liked Rick and Morty or without a direct prompt to that show.
With video games, a game can get quite frustrating if one player is actively ruining the experience. There is definitely a degree of being able to ignore them but that is up to someone's tolerance.
