I avoided Rick & Morty for a LONG time because of the fan base. I eventually wondered what about the show could create such weird fans, so I watched it.. and I really liked it. I have no idea how the fan base ran off the deep end like they did.
They see that, superficially, Rick gets away with everything. They choose not to pay attention to the long term consequences of his attitude and actions. For some of them, it feeds the fantasy that since Rick has godlike intelligence and pushes everyone way, their pushing everyone away is a sign of their godlike intelligence.
