GOOD THINGS ABOUT BEING A RICK AND MORTY FAN:

  • It’s a good show if you’re willing to ignore the drama and hey maybe you’ll find some people who aren’t dicks about it
  • Well my friend if you like making AUs then have I got good news for you.
  • Literally nonstop memes. The fandom has a knack for shitposting and it’s a sight to behold if you like that sort of stuff
  • The creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, for all their faults, are actually really cool dudes and really get a bad rap around Tumblr because most people try to discredit them as unfunny whiteboi assholes, even though they really aren’t. Plus they’re super supportive of the community!
  • Interaction with people that actually work on the show here! And they’re super nice too!
  • A nice mix of male and female fans, so it’s not too dominated by a certain side and you don’t get shit if you’re a “female RaM fan” at least not that I’ve seen
  • If you like your comedy with a side of tragedy, then this show will give you some good things to think about by tackling some heavy issues such as family divorce and alcoholism.
  • Awesome creator community! The fandom hosts some great artists and writers! Meet them! Support them! Love them!
  • Want more of the show? Read the comics! They are just as good as the show, and sometimes even better!

BAD THINGS ABOUT BEING A RICK AND MORTY FAN:

  • Far, far too many people in the fandom ship the titular characters together despite them being related and it’s frankly concerning.
  • Yeah, we like shitposting, but let’s be honest–most memes that have originated from the show itself are mediocre at best, ball-gratingly irritating at worst.
  • Some people literally don’t understand how to, like, be chill about anything.
  • “It ain’t that deep fam”.
  • Dudebros are a small minority of the fanbase (at least on Tumblr), but it’s basically all anyone ever associates Rick and Morty fans with these days.
  • Since it’s an [Adult Swim] show, updates on new seasons are literally years apart. Have fun waiting with us until Spring 2019 for that season 4 update.
