Maybe I'm naive but it feels different.

Because of the way antireylo has grown on tumblr, and tumblr blurs all the boundaries between fandom and SJ and teen aesthetic blogs etc... I just feel like a lot of the people reblogging shit about how Adam driver should kill himself wouldn't give a fuck if they actually had to hunt this content down themselves. They don't ship Rey with anyone, they just hate a villain and have distaste for hero/villain ships.

I think the blurring between fandom and SJ is a problem. It's a...well, I have a lot of thoughts on this, because a lot of SJ discussion seems to revolve around popcorn movies that everyone is seeing and would have seen anyway, and it's all kind of shallow and navel-gazey so it almost can't help but devolve into purity contests, and it's a distraction from actual important issues, and if you buy into it, you get to feel like you're doing something good by denouncing certain subsets of fans without ever really having to do anything of consequence.

But.

I...don't know. There were still these really intense pockets of hate in the old groups and communities, and, at the very least, I remember writers being told to kill themselves over plotlines that people disliked. There were also a lot of people in the Dark Angel fandom who hated Michael Weatherly enough to wish he were dead.

Maybe it's all a matter of degree. The audience is larger, so the crazy and cruel can increase at a faster pace.
