If you honestly believe that, you either weren't actually around when us Gen Xers were the up-and-coming dominant force in online fandom, or you have your nostalgia goggles screwed on way too tight. The shrieking and wailing and morality policing was just as bad, the language was just different.

And honestly, I'll take some tumblrteenie flailing and sobbing about how triggered they are over the wrong person topping or a safeword not being explicitly discussed in a kinky porn vignette over the balls-to-the-wall vitriolic homophobic outrage and rules mandating "warnings" for queer content of ten and twenty years ago. One's just annoying, the other is actively harmful.

I'm a Gen Xer, been in fandom since the early 2000s, have no experience with what you're talking about. I do remember people warning for het back then.

Different people can have different experiences?

I've been in fandom since the late 90s, and I remember as late as the mid 2000s people demanding warnings for slash. That was, however, when there started to be pushback from queer fen.

From what I've seen, the homophobic outrage is still there; it just gets couched in a different way.
