Criticizing general trends can be good for bigger media like TV and comics, but when it comes to criticizing trends in fanfiction the spaces in which the criticism occurs is often so small that it might as well be individual works being called onto the carpet.

I think you are misreading OP here.

OP said that "certain fandoms, genres, and works have serious issues with race/gender/representation, and conversations about how to fix this are necessary."

To me, that's talking about works of media, genres of media, and fan communities that respond to media. In general, I don't read the main thrust of OP's statement as being that it's important to criticize fanfiction. When I read that it seems to me that OP is talking about the way that we talk about and respond to media, not primarily the way that we talk about and respond to fanfiction.

Using Moffat-era Who as the attached image reinforces that idea. When people talk about Moffat-era Who being problematic, they're not saying that people are writing bad fanfiction. It's a wide-ranging debate about the actual televised show Doctor Who as produced by Stephen Moffat, which a lot of people think is deeply problematic and refuse to watch, and which there are massive flaming debates about. So I read OP as referring to that kind of conversation.

Are you reading this whole thing as though OP is just talking about people who yell at fic writers?
