Probably this one where a bunch of fans attacked a McDonald’s to get Szechuan sauce. Rick and Morty got some mainstream attention. People would say something like “You like R&M? You must be toxic.”
I feel like they’re more likely talking about Jeff Roiland’s (edit: creator, one of the main writers, and voice actor for most male characters (including both Rick and Morty)) abuse allegations, after which they canned him as writer/ voice actor and the show kind of lost it’s flair.

You’re joking, right?
Roiland is a great voice actor, but the rambling “comedy” bits got old and repetitive real fast. I don’t miss them. That, and the new VOs hit it out of the park.
the scandal???
I assume they mean Justin Roiland being found out as a sexual predator of underage girls …

Tbh, the current and last season are great.
The voice actors are great. If I didn’t know about the change, I’d never have noticed
they really did do a great job replacing the voice actor
I just learned about it now. I didn’t notice.

Nah. Morty’s alright. Rick lost his edge
kind of. but it’s mostly character development. His edge mostly was “I’m drunk and an asshole who pretends to not care”
He starts to actually care about his family. The ultra depressed suicidal rick got a bit tiring after a while
Personally, I think the new VAs are pretty good on their own. Morty even sounds a little better.
Yeahh the Szechuan thing kinda tainted the whole show for me. It was a dumb bit that went too far and the cringe fallout still lingers…
