I don't think it's a coddling thing so much as that it's the current popular way for people to police and feel superior to one another.

But, yeah, it is rather weird to see. When I was first getting into fandom, those of us who were minors wanted to be accepted; we wanted access to all of the things; and we had a "don't like it, don't read/look at it" view of the porny stuff (mostly because we wanted to be able to read/draw/write/look at it and didn't want anyone to tell us not to). We wouldn't have dreamed of trying to exclude ourselves from the activities of adults, because we thought we were mature, and we wanted to be treated like we were.

I fear this might sound like a "back in my day" rant, though...

I wish SO SO hard we could somehow go back to the shrug don't like/don't read attitude in fandom

Maybe when fandom moves from tumblr to the new shiny site that, hopefully, will have a way to create different spaces instead of forcing everyone to use the common room area with no privacy/ways to avoid part of the content there (aka the damn tags)

Not just you. One of the things that fannish communities promoted, imo, was a sense of what is accepted and community behavior. I remember starting out, I also wanted to fit in - I paid attention to how people spoke and acted, to see what I should be doing.
But now there's no real community on tumblr, it's just people posting and reblogging. There's nothing pushing them to try and be "like the adults".

That is a good point about the overall lack of community. There are spaces in different fandoms where a sense of community does develop, but sustaining it takes a lot more work. The whole set-up of the site makes the individual the center of everything.

That said, there are norms and mores on tumblr. But they seemed to be focused more on what makes a person an outsider than on what one can do to be an insider.
