I totally disagree with that. First and foremost, he represents himself and then his family and friends. Then next is the company that cuts his checks, but only to a certain extent being that he only works for them and is not their slave. IMO, fans are not part of the equation. So to answer your question, he only has an obligation to himself and the people he cares about. Not some random fan that he will most likely never met or know.
What U putting in your nose?
Is that where all your money goes (Is that where your money goes)
The river of addiction flows
U think it's hot, but there won't be no water
When the fire blows
First they came for the mutants, and I said nothing. Then they came for the chickens, and still I said nothing... -cyberhubbs
I think you misunderstood me. Regardless, I don't get the impression that we're going to come to agreement on this, so let's just agree to disagree and move on shall we?
other than writing comics from Marvel, Remender is under no obligation. he doesn't owe anyone anything. certainly not his fans. nor does he represent his fans. he can say whatever he wants. and of course, if Marvel does not like what he says then he can be fired. clearly, Marvel has no problem with it. these things can get people in trouble of course. Jason Biggs was replaced on TMNT for apparently running his mouth on Twitter.

This is another thing going around these days, mocking outrage. If people respond to things passionately, emotionally, they get breezed aside as irrational rants.
David Brothers had a really article about this.
What I’m talking about is how we—the comics community—describe, talk about, and address the concerns of people who are upset about one thing or another. The way we talk about outrage fatigue, outrage-of-the-week, faux outrage, outrage-o-matic, misplaced outrage, another outrage, this outrage, that outrage, and why it’s gross and short-sighted. How we use “tumblr” as a pejorative but ignore the poison in our own forums and followers.
The way we use the word outrage suggests that the outrage in question is fake and irrational, on account of being poorly thought-out and overly emotional. It happens every time someone brings up a point to do with equality, sexism, racism, or justice. It’s the same tactic the music media uses to devalue Kanye’s rants. They’re invalid, an inconvenience, annoying, or fake because you can see the emotions driving it, and emotional reactions aren’t valid.
We use the presence of passion to first diminish and then dismiss arguments. The offended must play by the rules of the unoffended, or even worse, the offenders, in order to be heard. You have to tamp down that pain if you want to get help or fix it. You can see it when people say things like “Thank you for being civil” when arguing something heated with someone they disagree with. Civility is great, sure, but we’re forcing people who feel like they’re under attack to meet us on our own terms. In reality, passion shouldn’t be dismissed. Passion has a purpose.
I honestly hope Remender showed the same level of "respect" that people calling for his job based on nothing showed him. It's too bad he didn't tell the same people calling for his job to drown themselves in hobo piss. I think I'd be very much ok with that response.
