Does anyone else find the fact that there exists a "MAPPA fanbase" really odd?

I do agree with you that the staff members should be praised, not the studio itself. Then, again a studio is also somewhat responsible for how an adaptation will look or be adapted, will it do good or bad? But, again, we can't just blatantly say and pull out the 'they're underpaying and overworking the staff' card at every single thing when that incident occurred once. Yes, the industry itself is underpaid but is it MAPPA's fault that the animators are underpaid?

Like Yabuta sensei said, "For many anime titles, the studio's Investment ratio is close to 0%. Regardless of the quality or success of the title, in most cases there will be no return to studios, so studios cannot have retained earnings to make a sufficient investment."

Looking at his own statement, we can't put the whole blame on MAPPA for underpaying them when they themselves aren't making a lot from the projects they're working on. Nearly all of the money goes to the investors and the producers who've invested in the project. The thing we can call MAPPA out for is taking on too many projects, but then again we come with another obstacle is that 'If you want to keep a studio running especially if the studio has more than 250+ employees, you need to take multiple projects in a year', it's not the case of Kyoani and Ufotable with them where everything happens inside their own pipeline and the profits stay with them. And, ufotable who has multiple ways to earn their income not just animation business.

So, considering everything, it's a huge dilemma in the industry, if we want MAPPA to stop pushing themselves, either they'll have to become a smaller studio with smaller staff or they need to work on more projects like CHAINSAW MAN which is their own passion project where everything is in house and the profits will stay in the studio itself, that again will depend on the success of the project. If Chainsaw Man succeeds, that will encourage them to do more stuff like that.

I think most of them are not " mappa haters" they just hate the cgi in aot,pretty sure they love JJK,GoH, dororo and expected that level of animation , the pre animated trailer lifted their hopes so high they maybe feel cheated after seeing it's all cgi

Having standards isn't a bad thing

And the point still stand .
If people are shown something and then get something worse they might feel cheated.

Whenever or not the worse product is the "best inhouse worse product" is irrelevant.

If you show something better and deliver something worse people may feel cheated
