I think it's important to consider that different fandoms have really different demographics. Finn/Poe was THE juggernaut ship in TFA fandom for like the first two months, but people were getting sent death threats and callouts on the kink meme for wanting top!Finn because that was racist ~big black man~ whatever. And now the most popular pairing is Kylux.

TFA fandom was SJ-heavy (probably because of the movie demographics) and teenager-heavy (a movie requires low resource buy-in compared to a video game). IDK anything about overwatch fandom, but it's totally possible that it has a different level of SJW harassment risk.

Also, I think this has been noticeably changing over time. If you compare the lack of Shawn/Gus for Psych to the totally respectable amount of content for Sam/Steve in the MCU, it looks to me like things are getting better.

Still far, far from perfect, but OP is right that 'you're a bad person for liking what you like' isn't going to help matters much.

Uh, as for OW, I HAVE seen people getting frothy over people who don't like or don't want Pharah/Mercy, McCree/Hanzo, and Zarya/Mei to be canon. Like, holy shit frothy.

And lol, I hate all three of those. Mainly because they fit some of the most stereotypical tropes, ESPECIALLY McCree/Hanzo and Zarya/Mei.

Zarya/Mei gets to me the most because it is SUCH a pair-the-spares pair AND it just makes the typical lady is a butch, make her lesbian and make her date the fat chick.

Which, isn't a bad thing, but it's been done into the ground as far as fandom is concerned that it's gotten OLD really fast. And boring.
