I look at it this way...

Pretend like instead of fandom, the topic of the conversation is summer vacation.

Person A: I think I'd like to go to Thailand.
Person B: Well, that's fine as long as you don't support the sex trade!
Person A: ... what? But I'm not...
Person B: I mean, I'm TOTALLY OKAY with people going to Thailand as long as they're not engaging in sex trafficking or underage sex with minors or visiting those elephant sanctuaries that are abusing elephants and milking tourists for their money or doing hard drugs and you can't convince me any of that is acceptable because it's really not and also blah blah blah...

It's this type of conversation that rubs me the wrong way. Yes, some of the people who visit Thailand do some seriously skeevy, horrible things while they're there. But it's weird that people think this justifies jumping in and lecturing everyone who even mentions going to Thailand and pre-assuming that they're going to be banging underage hookers and supporting elephant abuse unless they're told that's problematic right away.

Oh shit, that's a perfect analogy, well done. That really emphasizes the ridiculousness of it.
