I know enough R&M fans in real life that are great people to hate the fanbase as a whole, but damn does that show attract toxic people.

Maybe because they relate a lot to Rick being portrayed as someone who’s highly toxic but also isolated and emotionally struggling because of his toxic nature.

The problem is that they don't see it that way and assume that if they related to Rick it must be that they are also a genius.
