The virtue signalling is pretty annoying these days. "Character A is an AMAB agender polyamorous pansexual in a relationship with Character B, who is AFAB transgender poly-romantic demisexual and Character C, who is AFAB demi-gender poly-romantic asexual. Also they're all Muslim and I headcanon them as East Indian and various flavors of neurodivergent. If you write/view them any other way, then you're nothing but a big, stinky piece of problematic, pedophilic trash and should delete yourself, uwu uwu ooooowooooo."

I guess it's an improvement of the "eeeeew, gay ppl, that's grody" and "why couldn't you have written this about (het pairing) instead of disgusting femmeslash, kill yourself lesbo" reviews I used to see/get on f/f and m/m fic back in the early 2000s, though. And y'know, I still see people speak fondly of Godawful Fanfiction, but I remember a thread someone made there entitled "DISCWORLD! FOULED! FEMMESLASH! ARGH!" in which they had a tantrum about a couple of people daring to write G-rated Nanny/Granny and non-explicit Susan/Angua. Both fics were well-written, but everyone who replied to the thread went on and on about how disrespectful and awful these fics were and how disgusting femmeslash was, and they all left multiple flame reviews on these fics and tried to drive the authors out of fandom.

I guess it shows that the "dogpile on fans who write the wrong pairing/have a bad headcanon" trend is nothing new in internet fandom, though the definition of "wrong pairing/bad headcanon" has changed. Either way, it's annoying as fuck.
