Okay, I think the disconnect may be that you're thinking this has got to be about actual social justice-minded people. It's not. It's about overly invested fans who get upset when a character they like is criticized.

I'm trying to think of another way to put it.

People on a Social Justice-Oriented Forum:
-will discuss problematic portrayals of women and POCs in fiction
-are not apt to call someone racist unless they do or say something that comes across as racist

Overly Invested Fans on a Fan Forum:
-get upset when someone points out that a portrayal is problematic (or, well...at any criticism at all)
-are apt to say things like "you're just jealous;" "well what have YOU written;" "you're not famous so obviously you don't know anything;" "you just don't like her because she's a woman;" "you just don't like him because he's black."

I am pretty skeptical that there are over-invested fans who are really into reboot Wally based on like one comic he has been in, but I guess that anything is possible.
