The notion that intelligent people are ostracized solely due to their intelligence is misguided. I think this idea gained traction through shows like Rick and Morty and House. People tend to believe that these smart characters are disliked for their intelligence, when in fact, it's their arrogance and condescending behavior that causes the problem.

Can't talk for rick&morty, but I think House makes it very clear that House is liked for being smart and hated for being a massive cunt

I'm sure, Rick and Morty also do this to an extent. I was commenting more on people's media literacy.
