Tolerance is out seems to be out and judgementalism is in these days.

That seems like rather a broad generalization.

That said, I do agree with what you said about how tolerance is quieter than judgment - you're exactly right, a disproportionate response to an Internet kerfluffle is exactly what peoples' comments in this thread are.

Yesterday somebody was shocked that a secret maker could have a friend with conservative values and others agreed. How in the blue stars is that an indication of tolerance?

It's not just kinks that are at stake here, it's the free exchange of ideas and association too.

I think tolerance is a complex question and calling large swaths of fandom intolerant puritans is not a satisfactory conclusion

I do agree that F!S itself has problems with tolerance - I'm not sure how that fits in with the argument that it's a bastion of tolerance against the sex-negativity on Tumblr or wherever. I really think that goes to my argument that it's a more complex thing.

True, there is an increasing polarization and intolerance of divergent viewpoints (and being intolerant being seen as a good thing).

You can see that with all the college protests against other student clubs having speakers some kids don't like. There have been studies on the increase of polarization due to the internet (being able to immerse yourself in news sources that support your viewpoints, surrounding yourself with likeminded people) versus IRL where you have to deal with all the differing people.
