I'm not really active in fandom but I've seen a couple of my fandom-y friends get dragged into this (like, swarms of teenagers telling them to "d*e" or whatever) and I was just like what the fuck? I mean, yeah, I remember 'ship wars but I don't think that was about who was more "morally pure"? Maybe it was about which 'ship was more likely to become canon but not because the people who 'shipped the other 'ships were "degenerates"*?

*the fact that these ~progressive children use actual Nazi phrasing is, uh… worrying!
