After the whole Szechuan sauce thing it became popular for bloggers to openly shit on Rick and morty fans for like a year or two. Real mean spirited stuff. They were essentially the like white men of fandoms for a while and it was acceptable, if not outright encouraged, to constantly complain about how terrible they were. Roiland and Harmon were happy to do press tours with these same blogs at the time and they made zero attempts to defend their fans. Worse, they made a big show of hiring on female writers to try and appeal to these same bloggers. The shows appealing at a surface level but if you paid attention im real time they like fully outed themselves as typical “Hollywood” guys.
That's a legitimate criticism, plus I think like someone else said, that's probably Dan Harmon driving that, not Roiland. Roiland is more the "talent" and Harmon runs the business side.
