I absolutely agree with your caveat. Criticizing fanfiction is often so small. I think, though, in that sense there's a place to have personal conversations about some selected topics. Like, that shit with the cosplayers doing the Sieg Heil. It's not "important" to criticize them for doing that, but I think that fans who find it disgusting are allowed to mention it. (I know that you can then say "okay, but that only works for things YOU PERSONALLY find reprehensible", which is true; and I think some of it has to do with the fandom environment and the way things interact. I think there should be a balance between making the fandom fun and friendly for all its members, and allowing members to do their thing and people who don't like it to ignore it. That's part of the way a community is built. There isn't one hard and fast rule, imo).

And re: your final paragraph, it's funny because I'm actually studying literature - so in a sense, I'm doing exactly that, looking at media trends and issues on a more worldwide scale and in a more systematic way.
A perfect example of media being symptomatic imo is the whole Ghostbusters fiasco. That level of vitriol is absolutely symptomatic of social issues. I will not for a minute believe otherwise.
